Rihanna Celebrates Her 30th Birthday With The Most Heartfelt Tribute

Tuesday (February 20) is Robyn Rihanna Fenty’s 30th birthday: a day that should be celebrated with nothing short of religious fervor (honestly, why are schools and offices even open today?!). Soon considering that, this insinuates 30 is currently so much more than an age — it’s lifestyle, and also a desirable one at that.


Unsurprisingly, a slew of the pop icon’s companions and collaborators sent her warm birthday wishes (more on that below), and Rih even got in on the lovefest by shouting out the woman who made her b-day possible in the opening place: her mother, Monica.


On Instagram, Rih shared an adorable childhood photo of herself, alongside a pic of her taken last year as piece of a Fenty Aesthetics campaign. She captioned the post, “10958 days back @monica_fenty became a mother for the initial time to her only daughter! Today is just as much your birthday as it is mine!”


She continued, “I love you mom! Thank you for carrying me, birthing me, raising me, supporting me, teaching me, and loving me unconditionally! The woman I am today is because of everything that you are! I thank God for correctly hand picking you to be my mother If he sent my spirit to you! You are the greatest! Thank you! #💕”


Monica returned the passion with a post of her own, writing, “Happy 30th. God's blessings to my 1st place on Earth. The sweetest , most humble person I know , and most loving daughter ever. More than a few love back to you on your special day.🌷”


The birthday tributes kept pouring in while in during the day, with a couple of celebs — like Bruno Mars and Rih’s “Wild Thoughts” collaborators DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller — chiming in. The singer’s longtime BFF, Melissa Forde, posted an award-worthy slideshow of the two with each other during the years, brilliantly soundtracked by 2 Chainz’s “Birthday Song.” And in a surprising gesture, Rihanna’s onetime frenemy Ciara even proposed up some kind words.
