Rihanna isn’t interested in visiting the typical tourist attractions while living in London as she’d much rather hang out in Brixton. 

The Work singer has been living in the capital for three years now after secretly moving over from California to be closer to her Fenty business and then boyfriend Hassan Jameel, whom she split from in January. 

And while the Big Smoke has sights like the London Eye and Big Ben to enjoy, RiRi simply wants to hunt down the best Jamaican food in town. 

In a new interview with Afua Hirsch for British Vogue, Rihanna said of her time in the capital: ‘I like it because they’re too bougie to give a s**t about me. When I walk into those places, I am invisible. And nothing makes me feel better than being invisible.’ 

When asked where in London she would go if visibility wasn’t an issue, RiRi replied: ‘I’d rather go to Brixton but if I do that now, and I try to get some Jamaican food, it’s going to be an event, you know?

She added: ‘So if I want a night out, I go hang with the people I would never hang with. And i just, I’m just in my bubble. Which I really enjoy about London.’

Needless to say, fans were jumping at the chance to offer a delivery service for Rihanna, picking up her favourite Jamaican food on her behalf. 

‘Someone help me tell @rihanna I’ll personally deliver all the jamaican food she wants from Brixton to her door for free,’ one fan joked. 

Believing RiRi to be a true Londoner at heart, another said: ‘If Rihanna was from London she would definitely be from Brixton so it makes sense.’ 

‘Rihanna mentioning Brixton in her interview just proves South London is that girl,’ another agreed. 

Almost in tears, one RiRi fan praised: ‘RIHANNA TALKING ABOUT BRIXTON SOUTH LONDON IN HER VOUGE INTERVIEW. THIS IS WHY WE STAN.’ 

It appears Brixton is the mystery location Rihanna, 32, was referring to in a previous interview. 

Speaking to The New York Times in May, the Wild Thoughts singer revealed there’s a ‘cute little Jamaican market’ near to her home although it’s widely reported RiRi actually lives in north London.
