Rihanna is pop royalty and she has one of the largest fan bases globally for a pop star. However, it has emerged that fans have been pronouncing her name wrong for years.

This revelation comes after the ‘Umbrella’ singer introduced herself whilst speaking to Vogue about her new ‘Fenty’ Line.

She very clearly pronounces her name ‘REE-ANNA’. However fans have since took to Twitter to confess that they have always called her ‘REE-AHHN-AH​’.

Surely, how is this possible?

I am so pissed at all of us for pronouncing Rihanna's name wrong this entire time. I am so sorry queen @rihanna

Fans have since started a poll on Twitter to work out the percentage between both pronunciations and the results are astounding.

S0me fans are still confused with the pronunciations with one writing ” don’t understand the difference” another also wrote “what’s the difference tho”.

Another user wrote “Me searching for the “Ree-Hannah” option on this poll because that’s what I’ve been saying”

Moreover, is this a British and American divide? Tomayto or Tamarto?
