‘I Want To Help People'

Following her busiest – and in many ways most testing – year, RiRi’s coming out the other side a whole lot brighter…

Rihanna might have missed out on a Grammy this year, but the award for the biggest transformation definitely has her name on it. It’s only March, but we reckon 2017’s shaping up to be RiRi’s year.

And we’re told the singer is in a period of total reinvention (‘Ri-invention’, if you will) after a turbulent year that’s seen her on-off again with Drake, squabbling in public with Azealia Banks – and, as always, dealing with her ex Chris Brown. Now, our sources reveal that following her 29th birthday, Ri’s making some big changes.

‘Rihanna has been steadily shedding her party image,’ an insider tells us. ‘Part of her will always be a bad girl, but that isn’t what she wants to be known for any more. She’s evolving and wants her image to reflect that.’
