Barbadian Popstar, Robyn Rihanna Fenty, popularly known as Rihanna has been honoured with a stunning marble statue at the MET gala 2022.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art paid a special tribute to the Pop Star by partnering with Vogue to create a marble statue in her honour.
The Fenty founder, 34, who is currently expecting her first child with rapper-boyfriend A$AP Rocky, could not attend this year’s Met Gala due to her pregnancy.
The Female Billionaire took to Twitter to express her gratitude to the museum and Vogue magazine for paying her a historic tribute. She posted a glimpse of her statue in which she is seen flaunting her baby bump.
“Shut down the met in marble! what’s more gilded than that? Lol! Thank you for this historic tribute! y’all bad for this one,” she wrote.
