Rihanna is all in for voting, even if she has to cheer from the sidelines.
On Monday, November 4, the 36-year-old Barbadian superstar posted a cheeky Instagram Reel from her car, making light of her voting dilemma.
“POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #VoteCauseICant,” she wrote over a clip of herself gazing out the window.

Born in Barbados, Rihanna — whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty — never changed her citizenship when she moved to the United States in 2005. So, while her two sons, RZA, 2, and Riot, 14 months, whom she shares with boyfriend A$AP Rocky (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers), are U.S. citizens, she isn’t eligible to vote.
“When protecting p****** and firing p****** can happen all in one vote,” the Fenty Beauty founder captioned her post with hashtags #VoteCauseICant and #TanSuitSeason, seemingly referring to Vice President Kamala Harris’s current presidential campaign and the famous tan suits worn by President Joe Biden and former President Barack Obama.
After Rihanna took to social media with her words of wisdom, it didn’t take long for fans and followers to enter the chat.
“LMFAOOOOOOOO ily 😂😂😂😂,” chuckled one person.
“Get this woman an honorary citizenship!!” exclaimed another
“YA’LL HEARD MOTHER 💃🏽🗳️🖤,” a third fan rallied.
“I voted for a new album,” another quipped.
This isn’t the first time the “Diamonds” singer has used her platform to encourage her followers to vote. Back in 2018, during the midterm elections, Rihanna was just as vocal.
“It’s ELECTION DAY America!!! The most important day for the rest of your lives…all you have is right now! TODAY!!” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “If you’re tired of complaining about the state of the country and government, get up and do something about it!!! #VOTE … simple!!! You have no excuse, and If you live in any of these states it’s not too late to register today!! C’mon man, LETS GO!!!!! 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿.”
Election Day in the U.S. is Tuesday, November 5.
