Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, Caribbean. But her career as a singer and businesswoman made the United States her second nation, her second home. Today, she is based in New York with her entire family and her two sons, RZA and Riot, born in the United States. On the eve of the US presidential election, the artist shared a mini clip on her Instagram account, jokingly explaining that she would like to steal the passport of one of her sons to “sneak into the polling stations”.

Indeed, due to her Barbadian nationality, the founder of Fenty cannot vote in the United States. She captioned her video writing: “When protecting pussies and firing pussies can be done in one vote. #votecauseicant » She also added the hashtag #TanSuitSeason in reference to Kamala Harris' beige suit worn at the Democratic National Convention last August in Chicago, which has become one of the strong symbols of the American Democratic Party. Under her publication, comments abound, her fans congratulating her for this message and her involvement in political news in the United States.
But this is nothing new. Although Rihanna cannot vote, the singer Diamond has often used his platform to encourage Americans to go to the polls. In 2018, she asked her fans to vote in the midterm elections. On Instagram, she left this message: “If you are tired of complaining about the state of the country and the government, get up and do something! #Vote…simple! You have no excuse, and if you live in one of these states, it's not too late to sign up today! Come on man, let's go! » Under her publication, a user asked her if she was of American nationality. To this, the superstar replied: “No, I am an immigrant trying to reunite her country. »
Rihanna isn't the only one getting involved in these elections, many other big celebrities have spoken out, siding with Kamala Harris. Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Eminem and more recently Lady Gaga have shown their support for the Democratic candidate, trying to raise awareness of the importance of this historic election.
