Rihanna was never able to place her debut single, ‘Pon de Replay’, from 2005, at number 1 on the US singles chart, the Billboard Hot 100: it stayed at number 2. The culprit was Mariah Carey, who She was still clinging to the top with her hit ‘We Belong Together’.
Rihanna is a declared fan of Mariah: everyone (or almost) has seen that video of the one from Barbados singing ‘Hero’ at 15 years old. Many years later, RiRi attended Carey’s concert tonight in New York as a fan.
In the front row, Rihanna had a fun moment when she got Mariah Carey to sign her breast. It happened when Carey came down to the dance floor to greet the Barbadian, whom he had already seen from the stage. RiRi was seen hiding behind large sunglasses, accompanied by her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky.
As the video shows, Mariah, first of all, becomes interested in Rihanna’s glasses, who answers the ‘Dedicated’ singer that she can keep them “for free.” Carey then complains that they are filming her “from the bad side,” but that doesn’t stop her from proceeding to sign Rihanna’s left boob. With a red marker, write “Mariah.”
The moment has circulated on social media throughout the morning, as expected, and is being discussed, for example, in the JENESAISPOP forums, especially in Mariah’s thread.
