Rihanna has revealed which side of the aisle she sits on in this year’s presidential race, despite being unable to vote.
Taking to Instagram on Monday (November 4) ahead of the election, the Fenty X Savage mogul simultaneously supported Kamala Harris and threw shade at Donald Trump while urging her followers to “vote cause I can’t.”

“When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant,” she wrote, referencing Harris’ progressive stance on women’s rights while seemingly insulting former Apprentice star Trump.
Rihanna also used the hashtag “#TanSuitSeason,” a nod to Trump’s past criticism of former president Barack Obama’s 2014 tan suit, as well as Harris’ outfit at this year’s Democratic National Convention back in August (which was, of course, an homage to Obama).

In her accompanying video, RiRi joked about “trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport,” which could also be interpreted as a dig at Trump who has frequently made claims about voter fraud.
Trump wasn’t the only target of Rihanna’s razor-sharp wit as his supporters also faced her wrath after wading into her comments section with complaints.
In response to one user who accused her of encouraging illegal immigration, the singer wrote: “Where were you [on] Jan 6 sis? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights!”
After somebody else claimed that she should be arrested for seemingly attempting to vote illegally, Rih clapped back: “shut up Karen.”
Aside from the political bickering, the Bajan billionaire also clarified her citizenship status after being asked by a fan: “How TF can you live here and been living here if you aren’t a US Citizen?”
She simply replied: “taxes dummy [shrugging emoji].”

Rihanna is just the latest celebrity to plant her flag in the presidential election.
Kamala Harris has enjoyed the public support of Beyoncé, Eminem and Cardi B in recent weeks in her bid to become the first female President of the United States.

Queen Bey delivered a stirring speech at the sitting vice president’s rally in Houston last month, while Slim Shady and Cardi did the same in Detroit and Milwaukee, respectively.
The latter even became embroiled in a brief back-and-forth with Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO mocked her teleprompter struggles.
