Rihanna Speaks On Her Nigerian Roots, "Confirms Igbo identity" by Janicex(op): 11:42pm On Aug 12, 2021
The famous singer and businesswoman, Rihanna has revealed she is originally an Igbo woman.
The Barbadian singer, cum fashion designer and actress, who was recently pronounced a billionaire and officially one of the wealthiest female musicians in the world made this known in a recent interview.

According to the billionaire star, her mother disclosed her real origin to her as she noted she is primarily an Igbo woman.

She said: “My mom told me that I am originally an Igbo woman. Igbo is a tribe in Africa.”


Meanwhile, Rihanna joins the prestigious Forbes ranking to become the richest musician in the world with an estimated fortune of $1.7 billion.

The 33-year-old Barbadian is officially a billionaire according to the Forbes ranking. With an estimated wealth of 1.7 billion according to Forbes, Rihanna is placed just behind Oprah Winfrey and thus becomes the richest singer in the world. And yet, it is not thanks to her art that she has become so rich.
#Igboamaka. grin

Since she was pronounced "officially billionaire" recently, Igbos started claiming her as Igbo but I am not surprised. They claim everybody including George Floyd whom they organized funeral for, in Imo State and Donald Trump (a complete white man) whom they gave the name Okechukwu.

To think that Igbos are the same people that are insulting some tribes as 'slaves' in the 21st century, now they don't mind that George Floyd and Rihanna are descendants of slaves.

This thing is becoming so shameful and embarrassing to even non Igbos, that in the whole world, it is only Igbo people that are online and everywhere else laying claim to who is Igbo and who is not Igbo. Trust me even if Rihanna comes out tomorrow to categorically deny the claim, some Igbos will still feed the fat lie to their generation yet unborn.

Igbo people ona no get shame!!

No wonder. The beauty is so glaring.
If you quote me because of your hatred for Igbo thunder will fire you.

Ogbeni, nobody is claiming anyone. That news is everywhere on the internet. Google, not Nigeria's police, is your friend. A simple Google search would have saved you this senseless rant.

You ignoble one made this shameful post at exactly 1:19 am!
You actually stayed up in the night to drop this nonsense?
Igbo this... Igbo that? Them use Igbo swear for you?
Because a blog carried a story which you can't prove was written by an Igbo?
What if an Igbo wrote it!? Is that enough reason to assert that "Igbo people ona no get shame"? With double apostrophe for effects! Huh? "!!"??
Are you ok!? Na so Igbo matter pain u reach?
What with the fear and fixation on igbos in Yoruba land?
Every Igbo news and all of you want to jump out of your skins in anger and frustrations! Leave Igbo make them go, una no gree..
What exactly do you want from these igbos?
