Rihanna sparked a social media buzz by sharing her stance on the presidential election, throwing jabs at Donald Trump and urging fans to vote.
The music icon, though unable to vote herself, took to Instagram to express her support for Kamala Harris. Rihanna’s post humorously urged her followers to “vote cause I can’t,” while making a dig at Trump. Her playful tone was evident as she quipped, “When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant,” highlighting her views on women’s rights and Trump’s antics.
Rihanna further used the hashtag “#TanSuitSeason” in a tongue-in-cheek reference to Trump’s past criticism of Obama’s tan suit and a nod to Harris’ attire at the Democratic National Convention. In a video, she jested about “trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport,” subtly poking at Trump’s voter fraud claims.
Trump’s supporters didn’t escape her sharp wit either. Responding to a comment accusing her of promoting illegal immigration, Rihanna snapped back, “Where were you [on] Jan 6 sis? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights!” To another who suggested arresting her for voting illegally, she curtly replied, “shut up Karen.”
Amid the debate, Rihanna also confirmed her non-citizen status when asked how she could live in the U.S. without citizenship. Her response was a simple, “taxes dummy [shrugging emoji].” This sparked further interaction, with fans commenting on her bold remarks. Meanwhile, Rihanna joins numerous celebrities rallying behind Harris, including Beyoncé, Eminem, and Cardi B.
These celebrities have been vocal in their support, with Beyoncé rallying in Houston, and Cardi B sparking a spat with Elon Musk after her eventful teleprompter performance in Milwaukee. Such celebrity endorsements have added more intrigue to an already intense political climate.
Rihanna’s candid and humorous engagement in the election discourse has made waves on social media, reflecting her commitment to political causes and highlighting the tensions surrounding this year’s presidential race.
