Rihanna Shocks Fans With Blunt Political Statement About Her Inability To Vote
Rihanna is taking a bold political stance concerning the presidential election.
The "Diamonds" songstress took to Instagram on Monday, Nov. 4 with a pointed message about voting, revealing to fans that she's unable to participate in the U.S. process.
In a video shared on the social media platform, the mom of two jokingly made a comment about using her toddler to help her get past the legalities of the situation. The nine-time Grammy winner shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 14 months, with beau, rapper A$AP Rocky.

"POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son's passport #votecauseicant," text over a video clip of her riding in a vehicle looking out the window read.
"When protecting p---ies and firing p---ies can happen all in one vote," she captioned the upload, adding the hashtags "#votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason."
The superstar—born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Barbados—is unable to vote due to her citizen status, but fans seemed surprised to find out this fact.
