Rihanna sends her love to Native Americans “mourning” during the Thanksgiving holiday
While Americans celebrated their beloved Thanksgiving holiday, Rihanna sent a message of sympathy to Native Americans.
The 32-year-old beautiful Barbados took to her Instagram story Thursday afternoon with an honest message.
While the Thanksgiving holiday is loved and revered by Americans, it often serves as a brutal reminder to Native Americans about the deaths of their ancestors, which Rihanna has admitted.
