Rihanna was covered head-to-toe during her recent appearance at a #StopAsianHate rally in New York City and one protestor didn’t know any better.
On Easter Sunday (April 4), the pop titan took to the rally in support of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, along with her assistant
Tina Truong, who shared photos and videos of Rih marching with her in the streets. Dressed in a black leather outfit with Jordans, sunglasses, a black hat, and an accompanying mask, the singer joined the crowd in solidarity with a sign that read: #StopAsianHate on one side and Hate = Racism Against God! on the other.

Ohioâs lieutenant governor believes the COVID-19 pandemic emerged from a conspiracy by the Chinese government, he said Thursday, and heâs not sorry about referring to the novel coronavirus as the âWuhan virusâ â a phrase Asian communities have derided as racist and inflammatory â in a March 26 tweet.
âMy words were directed at what I believe is a probable cover-up by the Chinese government for a virus that has killed 2.7 million people around the globe,â he said during a news conference about the COVID-19 pandemic in Ohio. âIt has disrupted the lives of nearly every person on the planet. ⦠What happened there is why weâre today, why people are doing this all over the world, and I believe that there needs to be an independent investigation into it.â
