Rihanna's fans are shocked to discover that they have been mispronouncing her name for years, as a video of herself saying her own name goes viral.

The musician, designer, and businesswoman recently shared a video of herself announcing that she will be launching her brand, Fenty, in Paris.
After sharing the video which she shot for British Vogue, tweeps expressed their shock at how she pronounced her name. Many cited that they have been saying it wrong the whole time.

Thank you @Rihanna for pronouncing your name, my daughter's name is Brianna but people pronounce it Brionna, similar to yours. My daughter has her own candle line, so if your ever in need of handmade soy candle please hit her up! https://t.co/JBC3Hw9OqT
