A normal assumption after seeing #Rihanna trending on Twitter would be that the super talented singer is planning on releasing new music. Something avid members of Rihanna’s Navy (a term coined for all RiRi fans), would freak out over given the massive success her last album, “Anti” was when it released back in 2016.

However, this is not the case.

The real reason #Rihanna is trending on the social media platform is mainly due to a viral challenge that fans are freaking out over. It entails googling the Fenty Beauty founder, along with your respective birthday, and the result gives you what the fashionista was sporting on your nameday. Amazing. 

The trend was started by Shari A.K.A @chipdnudepolish after she was inspired by a smilar viral challenge involving Beyoncé’s birthday. With RiRi’s birthday (Feb 20) fast approaching, she started the new movement:

However, some fans weren’t so happy about the trending tweets.
