Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in 1988 in Barbados, rose to global fame in the early 21st century for her unique voice and style.
As a child, her love for singing was evident, winning a talent show with a Mariah Carey song.
Her break came when American record producer, Evan Rogers, helped her record a demo leading to a contract with rapper Jay-Z’s Def Jam record label.
Her debut single, “Pon de Replay,” was a major success, as were subsequent albums like “A Girl Like Me” and “Good Girl Gone Bad.” The latter’s hit single “Umbrella” earned her a Grammy.
Her later albums touched various themes, from the personal, like the assault incident with then-boyfriend Chris Brown, to chart-topping hits like “Diamonds.” Besides music, Rihanna ventured into acting, starring in films like “Ocean’s 8” and “Guava Island”.
She launched her beauty brand, Fenty Beauty, in 2017 and a fashion line in 2019. Her personal life, including relationships with Chris Brown, Drake and ASAP Rocky, remained in the spotlight.
In 2023, Rihanna announced her second pregnancy during a Super Bowl performance.
