Incredibly geeky facts about Rihanna
Rihanna is one of the most successful women in the world, whether it’s because of her charity work, her distinct eye for fashion, or her stack of best-selling records – but how much do you really know about her? Test yourself with these 50 incredibly geeky facts.
1. Rihanna isn’t her real name
It’s actually Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
2. She was discovered by Jay Z
After sending in her demo tapes to Def Jam Records, she was auditioned by their (then) president, Jay-Z, who signed her afterwards. Jay-Z was reportedly so impressed that he demanded Rihanna not leave the building until the contract was signed.
3. She got vocal training from Ne-Yo
Upon rapidly entering the charts, Rihanna admitted that she had never received official singing lessons. She said of her work with Ne-Yo: “I’ve never had vocal training, so when I’m in the studio, he’ll tell me how to breathe and stuff… He’ll call out these big fancy words: ‘OK, I want you to do staccato.’ And I’m like, ‘OK, I don’t know what that is.'”
4. She credits Madonna as her biggest influence
She once said that she wanted to be the “Black Madonna,” explaining that she admires the way Madonna constantly reinvents herself.
5. Madame Tussauds has eight wax figures of Rihanna
Combining all the wax figures of Rihanna made by Madame Tussauds all over the world, the total now comes to eight. One of her wax figures took a team of 20 people four months to build.
