On her 30th birthday, RiRi shouted out the woman who put her on this earth. “10958 days ago @monica_fenty became a mother for the first time to her only daughter! Today is just as much your birthday as it is mine! I love you mom! Thank you for carrying me, birthing me, raising me, supporting me, teaching me, and loving me unconditionally!” she wrote in her dedication, alongside a pic of the pop superstar as a tot. “The woman I am today is because of everything that you are! I thank God for perfectly hand picking you to be my mother when He sent my spirit to you! You are the greatest! Thank you!” (Photo: Rihanna via Instagram)
