Robyn Rihanna Fenty, Barbadian-American superstar, has named ‘Unavailable’ by Nigerian musician, Davido featuring South African singer, Musa Keys, as her ‘Song of the Year.’
The fashion mogul disclosed this in a side interview with Complex at a recent event of her fashion brand, Fenty, The Creeper.
Rihanna was asked to name her album of the year, but the billionaire pop mogul said she wasn’t an “album girl” and went on to mention ‘Unavailable’ and ‘Mnike’ by Tyler ICU and Tumelo as her joint song of the year.
The R&B singer said, “Album of the year? Am I an album girl? Or am I a streaming single girl?
“‘Unavailable’ [by Davido featuring Musa Keys] on repeat. That and ‘Mnike’ [by Tyler ICU and Tumelo] are my song of the year.”
Meanwhile, Davido has reacted to the recognition by the American singer.
Responding to a clip of the interview trending on X, Davido wrote: “My Ri Ri.”
