Little Boy Doesn't Recognise Rihanna, Asks Her To Click His Photo With Footballer Jack Grealish

This week in New York, international pop star Rihanna met English footballer Jack Grealish, an important player for Manchester City. This unexpected meeting surely created a perfect moment for viral pictures. However, amidst the flashing cameras on the two stars, a humourous incident took place and stole the limelight. A young fan who was present at the venue seemed more impressed by football than the pop music icon. In fact, the young fan, clearly in awe of midfielder Grealish, approached Rihanna with a special request.

He probably did not recognise Rihanna and asked the Barbadian singer and Fenty Beauty owner to take a picture of him with his football hero.

In response to the request, Rihanna agreed to take the photo. A video of the moment was captured and shared on social media. Unsurprisingly, the clip went viral, generating a flood of amusing reactions from viewers.

As the athletes smiled for the camera and posed with the boy, Rihanna went in front and clicked. She also invited more children to join in the picture.

Rihanna is reportedly in New York to watch Manchester City’s pre-season friendly match against AC Milan. She was dressed casually in a sports cap and an oversized T-shirt from her Fenty line. She was seen interacting with Grealish and AC Milan players Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah.

As soon as the video started getting circulated, fans loved Rihanna’s charming behaviour and praised her for staying grounded. “I think that’s cute. I’m sure she appreciated it too. She seemed like she liked directing them to pose to get the shot. I think this kid, if he actually reached out in the future, could get a picture with her. He wasn’t being mean; he was just not exposed yet. I must feel good,” commented a user.

“Rihanna, be on point; she loves this with kids. Go, Rhianna!! Everybody looks happy,” commented another user.

“Mad respect to Rihanna for this. She probably enjoyed being treated normally for once. Respect to her,” wrote a person.

“Kinds just won’t recognise you if you’re not their idol,” added another person.
