Fans Have Their Hopes Dashed As It Turns Out Rihanna Isn’t Pregnant

On Thursday before the 5th annual Diamond Ball, Rihanna stopped by to have a chat with the Essence magazine.

Capturing ambiguous phrases from the conversation, fans began to speculate about the icon being pregnant. This set the internet on a roll as fans took to various social media platforms to either congratulate her or just gush over the ‘news.’

These were her words in her chat with the magazine; “I’m a black woman. I come from a black woman who came from a black woman who came from a black woman, and I’m going to give birth to a black woman. That’s who I am. It’s the core of who I am in spirit and in DNA. And I always stand up for what I believe in and who I love and who I know, who I respect.”

Rather than interpreting her words, “I’m going to give birth to a black woman,” as an indication for future aspirations, her fans assumed she was pregnant only to be disappointed to know she didn’t mean that in the present tense.
