“I’m honored and I have to send love to everyone who’s supported this brand in the 2 months that we’ve been here! Glory to the most High.” Says Rihanna.

Rihanna completes her ownership takeover of the year 2017 of all the amazing things she’s achieved by being listed as one of Twenty-Five Best Inventions of 2017 in TIME Magazine this past November.
