Rihanna was unrecognizable as one attendee asked for her Instagram handle before ultimately realizing who he was talking to. “When Rih gives you her IG handle but you think she trolling,” Truong captioned it. The man was in disbelief as he responded, “That’s you?”

In the wake of the Atlanta shootings that left eight people dead, six of whom were women of Asian descent, the singer spoke out against anti-Asian violence. “What happened yesterday in Atlanta was brutal, tragic & is certainly not an isolated incident by any means,” Rihanna tweeted last month. “AAPI hate has been rampantly perpetuated & it’s disgusting! I’m heartbroken for the Asian community & my heart is with the loved ones of those we lost. The hate must stop.”
