American singer and entrepreneur Rihanna has captured the hearts of many Nigerians in a viral video where she is seen struggling to learn the Yoruba phrase “Mo wa pa” (I am fine). In the clip, a Nigerian man at an event taught her the phrase, and Rihanna made several adorable attempts to pronounce it.
Netizens found the moment endearing, with comments ranging from admiration to playful remarks. One user humorously noted, “The Mo wa pa sounds like Chinese to me,” while another suggested a Yoruba name for Rihanna: “Rioluwatosin.” Fans praised her free-spirited nature and effort to connect with the Nigerian culture.
This follows Rihanna’s previous encounter with Nigerian artist Ayra Starr, where the two shared a memorable moment during the launch of Rihanna’s Fenty brand in London.
