25 Things You Didn't Know About Rihanna
It's real easy to feel personally connected to Robyn Rihanna Fenty. The umpteen-time cover girl just about lives in the media, as much of her business has been publicized and presented to the world to dissect. Alas, there are a few tidbits of info about the fittingly crowned 'Obsession of the Year' that slipped under the radar.

2. She wants to go skydiving, although she's terrified.
3. Her name is actually supposed to be pronounced Ri-enna instead of the commonly uttered Ri-ahna.
4. She refers to all of her friends as hoes. Example: Boobies hoe, Hair ho, etc.
5. Rihanna stepped (semi-awkwardly) with Brooklyn Technical High School’s step teams in her “Pon De Replay” days.
6. Most of her ensembles are actually uncomfortable, but she wears them for the sake of fashion.

17. She drinks a lot of Red Bull.

19. Rihanna got a Twitter in the midst of “the Chris Brown thing” so fans could hear straight from the horses mouth as opposed to rumors from blogs and tabloids.

22. She is a prankster.
Of all the ink artwork she has, her finger tats ‘Shhh…” and “Love” hurt the most.
Even though you’re technically not supposed to play favorites, her younger brother, Rajad, is her favorite.
She’s a Pisces, meaning she’s compassionate, sensitive, creative, imaginative, and has a hard time making decisions, which may explain a lot.
