Rihanna is trading in the strippers for penguins, sharks and cheetah cubs. When RiRi had some free time during her trip to South Africa for her Diamonds World Tour, she got up close and personal with some of the country’s wildlife.
There used to be a time when Rihanna would post pictures of naked strippers and unusually long blunts after her shows. This time around, however, she seems to be sticking with animals instead of erotic dancers.
The Bajan beauty slipped into a pastel green and pink Chanel bikini as she prepared to dive with the sharks on Tuesday.
“Shark diving? Yes Please!” she wrote on the caption to the photo she took of herself rocking the chic bikini and her usual cat-eye sunglasses.
Just in case anything went wrong on the deep-sea dive, she had a nice young man ready to rescue her at any moment – her younger brother.
RiRi spent some quality time with her 17-year-old brother, Rajad Fenty, during her time in South Africa, which meant we got to see some family friendly photos from the R&B star.
Meanwhile, Rihanna also had a bit of a fashion crisis when she took to the Cape Town aquarium and discovered someone wearing the same outfit as she was. Well, sort of.
Rihanna shared a picture of herself kneeling down next to a curious penguin as she was dressed in a black and white ensemble with her hair pulled back in a chic bun.
Rihanna captioned the photo, “B***h stole my look,” which is a reference to the segment on “Fashion Police” that features stars wearing the same outfits.
In addition to kicking it with the wildlife, Rihanna also reunited with her BFF Melissa Forde despite rumors that the party girls had gone their separate ways.
Forde shared an Instagram video of Rihanna kneeling on a four-wheeler along with the caption, “$ame city, $ame friend$, if ya lookin for me!!”
Of course the duo snapped quite a few pictures together to keep up appearances that Melissa is actually Rihanna’s friend, and not her personal Instagram photographer.
Her wildlife adventure comes just a few days after RiRi disappointed her South African fans by giving them a less-than-impressive performance and lip-syncing her way through some of her least popular hits.
Wonder how her fans feel knowing RiRi has the energy to dive with sharks and do tricks on four- wheelers, but not enough energy to give them a decent dance routine at her show.
