Rihanna recently turned 30 but the celebrations continued on social media. She shared a throwback photo of herself as a baby on her Instagram account and wrote a heartfelt message to her mother, Monica Braithwaite. The message thanked her for everything, from carrying and giving birth to her, to raising her, supporting her, teaching her, and loving her unconditionally. The post also included a combination of two photos of Rihanna; one from her infancy and another showing her current status as a global pop icon. Rihanna’s success is not limited to the music industry, but also extends to fashion, design, and makeup, making her one of the most influential artists in the industry.
