Robyn '''Rihanna''' Fenty, Born February 20 1988, aka Rihanna (2005-present), is a popular R&B/pop star who hails from Saint Michael, Barbados, although her mother was from [[{{UsefulNotes/Guyana}} Guyana]]. Discovered by {{Jay-Z}}, she gained fame in the music industry via her first single, "Pon de Replay".

Her most recent foray in the news focused on her relationship with R&B singer ChrisBrown, who admitted to physically assaulting her in February of 2009. The incident [[BreakTheCutie seemed to have changed her once upbeat and pop-laden image]], as her more recent works, as well as her appearance have become almost blatantly DarkerAndEdgier.

Detractor Nickname is Trivia. Also, unless it was all at once, I\'m not sure if this really counts as a \"dream team\". Misuse of Spell My Name With An S. It\'s not about mistaken spellings, it\'s about inconsistent transliteration. Examples Are Not Recent.


* DetractorNickname: The most popular one is "Rihfund." Another one is "Rihplay" when considering how common it is to hear one of her songs on any given pop station.
* DreamTeam: Worked with Maroon 5, BritneySpears, {{Eminem}}, NickiMinaj and many many more.



** Recently got in a spot in trouble at a UK strip club, in which she kept touching the female dancers giving her private dances.

It finally seems to had an effect during the ''Talk The Talk'' era with her lackluster, tired performances during the tour.

** Then comes the "We Found Love" video, which features an OpeningNarration about how sometimes you're willing to take the bad parts of a relationship because the good parts are just ''so good''. Then the first half of the video depicts scenes of happy romance and misadventures of Rihanna and a Chris Brown lookalike, while the second half shows the fights that erupted after the happy parts of all those scenes.

** Rated R was her deciding to face her fears and deal with what happened with Chris. She was going to take a break but decided to do music instead. This strikes us as very healthy, being an artist and all.
