After six grueling months of the void that was the absence of @badgalriri, Rihanna has decided to make Instagram a better place again. Taking to Twitter for an announcement that gave everyone’s online life more meaning, the singer shared an upside-down selfie that immediately became two trending topics: #badgalback and #RIHUnited. She also posted a rather precious illustration of herself and the Instagram logo: SEE ALSO: 30 Rihanna Photos You Might Have Missed Since She Left Instagram
Rihanna’s Instagram hiatus was sparked by her sharing of topless shots from her cover shoot for LUI Magazine. Coming under fire from the social site, Rih parted ways with her 12 million followers and instead made Twitter her hub for photo sharing and status updates. But of course, it was just not the same. While the reason for the singer’s return was never explicitly shared, Instagram itself welcomed Rihanna back as well:
Welcome back @rihanna! #RIHunited #badgalback instagram http://t.co/N4pixPwBk6
