People forget Rihanna was only 27 years old when she released ANTI. In just 10 years in the music industry, she released 8 studio albums, sold over 250 million records worldwide, earned 8 RIAA Diamond-certified singles (the most of any female artist), surpassed 200 million certified song units in the U.S., and scored 14 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits. Then she stepped away from music and still remains one of the most successful artists of all time.
So never dare to compare her to artists who needed twice the time to achieve half as much - or who will never achieve it at all.

I was 15 y/o when I saw a video of her performing and my body felt the strongest goosebumps, as a little girl from a small Island myself, knowing her story I understood everything was posible, I been a dreamer all my life, was born a rebel at heart and came from a place were opportunities are very limited and still made it out here cuz I trusted my heart and put all my passion into this. She's been an inspiration to so many little girls like me all around the world. And yesterday 15 years after I saw that video of her and started to know who she was and her story I got to see her and hug her and talk to her like I always dreamt. I remember when she went to DR in 2013 for a concert and I saw the advertising on TV I started crying cuz I knew I couldn't afford to buy a ticket and in my head that was my only chance to see her. Not only met her and hugged her, (sorry but I couldn't stop hugging her 😭 i might of squeezed her I was to excited 😭) but got to perform In front of her w her bby daddy 😭 the little girl inside me is jumping 😭 and crying I swear 😭 when I was 18 I got the 'rebel fleur' tattoo 😭 and yesterday I showed it to her 😭 also used to print all the lyrics to her music and translate it to spanish cuz english not my first language idk how many times I told her that I love her when I was hugging her there but I love her so much she's my idol I luv her so much 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝 and also we are caribbean Pisces 💝💝💝💝💝💝
