Party Animal Rihanna Becomes Empress of the Wild During Her Stay in Thailand

Rihanna gets personal with nature in Thailand

Rihanna has added yet another title under her belt— Empress. After, – well, sort of, bonding with the country’s wildlife , during her stay in Thailand.

The animals weren’t exactly wild, but they were far more exotic than any animals RiRi has snapped pictures with before.

On Thursday night Rihanna was busy taking the term ‘party anima’l to another level as she passed up on partying with strippers and opted for a night out with the animals of Thailand.

The 25-year-old flooded her Instagram with tons of pictures of her getting up close and personal with friendly elephants and a slow loris.

RiRi definitely showed off her adventurous side with all the selfies and snaps of the animals. In one picture she is reaching out to two large elephants and touches the tips of their trunks.

Another photo had a humorous kick to it as she posted a picture of the slow loris on her shoulder along with the caption, “Look who was talkin dirty to me! #Thailand #nightlife.”

Slow lorises look very similar to sloths and it was obvious that the picture was inspired by all those “Dirty Sloth” memes that have taken the web by storm.

Other photos from the pop star’s trip had her fans, and apparently herself, extremely confused.

In one picture, which Rihanna snapped over her shoulder, revealed a woman in a strange costume reaching out towards her. In an attempt to explain what was going on to her millions of followers she wrote, “She was either tryna get married to me, or asking for the rest of my crop over costume!”

In the midst of all the chaos and exotic animals, Rihanna couldn’t help but crown herself Empress.

“They all hail Empress when She walk by,” she tweeted jokingly along with another photo of her getting up close with the tame elephants.

It seemed like Rihanna was spending much of her downtime getting in touch with mother nature, but at one point she finally decided to get a little relaxation in.

Rihanna also shared pictures of herself relaxing on some sort of boat and looking out at all of Thailand’s lush greenery.

The star slipped into a sexy black monokini that she accessorized with huge bold, gold accessories.

Even with the beautiful landscape in the background, Rihanna managed to keep all the attention on herself as she showed off her toned body and some new curves.

While we’re used to seeing Rihanna look incredibly toned but not too curvy, this time it appeared as if the Bajan beauty’s figure was a little fuller in all the right places.

Her tummy was still just as slim and trim as it’s always been, but her butt and thighs actually seemed to give her that coveted hourglass shape that so many women crave.

Her mini-vacation is over for now, as she heads for her next stop on the tour, Singapore. The Diamonds World Tour is scheduled to conclude on November 15 after finishing 19 more stops around the globe.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
