In a recent episode of the talk show “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross,” pop sensation Rihanna made a captivating appearance. Dressed in a daring outfit complete with shoulder pads, Rihanna looked stunning as she joined Jonathan Ross on stage.
The conversation started with Ross noting that Rihanna‘s real name is Robin Rihanna Fenty, but her fans often call her Riri. They chatted about her upbringing in Barbados and how the holiday season is celebrated there. Although there is no snow or white Christmas, the Barbadian Christmas is filled with family gatherings, church services, and of course, lots of food. Rihanna shared that they traditionally have turkey, while Jonathan Ross revealed that his family opts for a big ham.
The conversation then turned to Rihanna‘s rise to fame and how she was discovered by music mogul Jay-Z.

They also discussed the massive success of her hit song “Umbrella,” which spent 10 weeks at number one in the UK. Rihanna mentioned that some venues banned fans from bringing umbrellas to her concerts for safety reasons, as they could be used as weapons or obstruct the view of other concertgoers.
With her new album, “Rated R,” Rihanna discusses personal experiences, including the assault she suffered a few years ago. She explained that she initially hesitated to talk about it but felt it was important to share her story to help young girls who may be going through similar situations. While she finds it difficult to talk about, she has processed the emotions and incorporates those experiences into her music.
The conversation also touched on Rihanna‘s tattoos, of which she now has 13. She revealed that some are words while others are illustrations. One particular tattoo on her finger reads “love.” Rihanna even confessed that she once gave a tattoo herself, despite not being a professional tattoo artist. She tattooed an umbrella on her tattoo artist, as he insisted it was the perfect tribute to her hit song. They then jokingly discussed strange tattoos they had seen, with Rihanna sharing a story about a girl with a bold tattoo across her stomach.
As the interview wrapped up, Rihanna showcased her generosity by participating in a secret Santa gift exchange. The playful and light-hearted segment ended with Rihanna‘s live performance on the show.
