Investigation:
Vishvas News started its investigation over the internet. We checked about Rihanna’s tweet using some keywords, we did not find any media reports about the same. However, we did find some reports of Indian actress Kangana Ranaut tweeting over Rihanna’s support to the farmers’ protest. Rihanna has not given any statement over Kangana’s criticism. If that would have happened there would have been numerous reports of the same.  

We checked the verified Twitter account of Rihanna, but, we did not find any tweet on the same, where she would have written about Kangana Ranaut.

We checked the viral tweet, it was in Hindi and had numerous mistakes in language. Rihanna works with Hollywood and hence it is very unlikely that she would write something in Hindi. Apart from that, the date and time on the tweet apparently claimed from Rihanna’s Twitter handle has not been mentioned. Hence, one cannot claim that the tweet is real. This has been created using photo editing tools.

For more information on the same, Vishvas News reached out to Smita Shrivastav handling entertainment at Dainik Jagran, Mumbai. She told us that there is no such tweet on Rihanna’s twitter handle, the viral tweet has been created using photo editing tools.

Now we did a social background check on the person sharing this post, Satnam Singh Khalsa. We found that the user is a resident of Ambala, Haryana. Till the time of writing the report, the user had 899 followers.
