She is also a songwriter, actress, businesswoman, fashion designer, and fashion icon. Rihanna has made her presence felt in all the sectors with her style. From being labeled a sex symbol to being called sassy and interesting, she has achieved all in a very short period.

Rihanna earned her first Grammy Award at the early age of 19 for the song Umbrella, in 2007. She is one of the world’s best-selling music artists and has other International awards like Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards, People’s Choice Awards, and others to her name.
