That must have made the moment even more exciting.
Janet Jackson surprised Rihanna at the 2019 Fashion Awards in London, England. Riri and her fashion brand Fenty were honored with the Urban Luxe Award at the event which was held at the Royal Albert Hall. If you know your Rihanna history, you know that Janet Jackson was one Rih’s early inspirations. Ten years ago Rihanna told MTV, “Janet Jackson, Destiny’s Child, Whitney Houston — they were the people who motivated me to do this, who I idolized and looked up to, and said I want to be like them.” Riri continued saying, “That started the dream, and it just went from there, and became a reality.”
