Rihanna is leveraging her influence to encourage her followers to participate in voting. The pop star shared a lighthearted message on social media, playfully suggesting that she might “sneak into the polls” with her baby’s passport.
On Monday, November 4, the 36-year-old singer shared an Instagram Reels video of herself sitting in a car, looking out the window. In a humorous tone, she said, “POV: me attempting to sneak into the polls using my son’s passport #VoteCauseICant.”
The Fenty Beauty founder cannot vote because she kept her citizenship in Barbados even after moving to the United States in 2005.
While her two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 14 months, whom she shares with A$AP Rocky, are United States citizens, the Fenty Beauty founder was born in Barbados.
In 2018, she was appointed as an ambassador by the Government of Barbados, and by 2021, she was honored with the title of National Hero of Barbados.
Many suspect that her follow-up post seemingly endorses Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump.
In another reel she shared on Instagram, Riri touched on how voting concerns women’s rights. Her caption read, “When protecting ps and firing ps can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.”
Rihanna is the most recent celebrity to express her views on the forthcoming election, joining numerous well-known individuals in supporting Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
Celebrities like Eminem, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Jennifer Lopez, Dick Van Dyke, John Legend, Harrison Ford, Jessica Alba, Demi Lovato, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and many more have shown their support for Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign and encouraged their fans and followers to vote.
“Rihanna is the perfect example of a non-citizen that should be able to vote. She lives here. She pays taxes. She contributes immensely to the economy. And then you have some citizens who complain 24/7 but won’t even register to vote,” a fan wrote.
Another added, “#TanSuitSeason = Kamala for those of you that didn’t catch that 😎 (Kamala and Barack both wore tan suits as fashion statements).”
