As the election season climaxed, Rihanna urged her American fans to participate in the election.
On Monday, November 4, 2024, Rihanna took to her Instagram to share a reel she jokingly captioned, “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #VoteCauseICant.”
She was riding in a vehicle while looking out the car’s window in the reels she shared. Rihanna highlighted the significance of defending women’s rights in the 2024 presidential election. She wrote, “When protecting p—— and firing p—— can happen all in one vote, #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.”
In late October 2024, Rihanna posted images of herself and her kids on Instagram. In the pictures, Rihanna and her sons wore her new Forever Savage Onesies on a gold bed with cheetah-print covers for photos. Captioning her post, she wrote, “Yea, I know! We are officially one of those families that match for the holidays.”

Her mother, Monica (née Braithwaite), was an accountant of Afro-Guyanese ancestry. Rihanna has two brothers from her parents, Rorrey and Rajad Fenty. She also has two half-sisters and a half-brother from her father’s side, each born to different mothers.
She and her father worked as street vendors, selling clothing, and she grew up in a three-bedroom home in Bridgetown. Rihanna stated her father’s alcoholism and crack addiction greatly affected her early years and worsened her parents’ strained marriage.
While she was born in Barbados, Rihanna’s two children with A$AP Rocky are U.S. citizens. Despite arriving in the United States in 2005, Rihanna has maintained her Barbados citizenship.

In response to her post, comments from critics began pouring in, expressing their criticism. However, Rihanna decided to respond to the comments, expressing her opinion on the election view. For example, a user commented, “Illegal voting is a crime. Maybe she should be arrested for trying,” Rihanna responded, “Shut up, Karen.”
Similarly, a fan had written, “I voted for closed borders, deportations, and staying out of foreign conflicts. Abortions are probably nowhere near as important as y’all are making it seem.” Responding to this, Rihanna wrote, “You’re f*cked! And so is the America you dream of. Hope you don’t have to find out the hard way.”
