"She ate that man up": Fans react hilariously to Rihanna's reply to the fan who referred to her as 'Forehead'

Internet teasing is nothing new to Rihanna, but her recent return as an Instagram forehead troll has shocked and delighted followers. Rihanna's response to a brazen admirer who called her "forehead" in a comment regarding her eagerly awaited album was hilariously brilliant. With a brilliantly sardonic clapback, she said,

"Listen, Lorenzo! You dizzy f*ck, you're not cute enough to call me by my black name!"

If that wasn't enough, a fan comment immediately beneath the post said,

"She ate that man up!" In fact, Rihanna graciously blasted him rather than only responding.

This was so popular with her admirers that it sparked a social media frenzy of jokes and memes. Fans are happy to watch RiRi rekindle the unrepentant wit from her early days on Twitter, and it's safe to say that she understands how to deliver a masterclass in dealing with trolls.

Fans everywhere were relishing the throwback to early 2010s Twitter when Rihanna was at the top of her clapback game.

“Are we getting early 2010s Twitter Clapback Riri back?!”

one fan wondered, tapping into nostalgia for those unfiltered days.

The excitement didn’t stop at the laughs either. One fan’s tweet summed it up best:

“She dragged, he spilled,”

acknowledging just how clean and swift Rihanna’s response was. Of course, her iconic forehead didn’t go unnoticed in the memes either, with one fan joking,

“Rihanna is inspiration to all of us 6 heads.”

Finally, the internet collectively burst into laughter with one last tweet,

“Not this being how 2025 starts LMAOOOOOOO,”

nodding to the surreal joy of having Rihanna’s iconic clapback light up the beginning of the new year. Clearly, RiRi’s fans are more than ready for whatever she has in store—forehead comments and all.
