Rihanna’s been at house in Barbados for over two weeks now, and it’s been a full schedule. She’s been seen at state occasions, she was at Crop Over, she went to the membership, there was a party for Riot (we’ll get again to that in a minute), and yesterday she took the children out on the water.
Again to that party – it was Spider-Man themed and clearly Riot is all about Spidey as a result of he’s wearing Spider-Man merch, from the t-shirt to his footwear to the sun shades and he’s clutching a toy. (We’ll fake we don’t see the Manchester Metropolis shorts – and that is really related to the story, stand by.)
Can we add this to the Rihanna and Tomdaya lore then? Rihanna and Zendaya have had a number of encounters over time nevertheless it’s not like they hang around. They typically seem in the identical sentence associated to trend and magnificence, significantly when the Met Gala rolls round since they’re two of probably the most anticipated arrivals. But additionally, there was this viral second again in 2017 when Zendaya posted a video of herself shedding her thoughts after Rihanna publicly blessed her.
That was the 12 months Spider-Man: Homecoming was launched and her movie star went to the following degree. However that’s not all, as a result of 2017 was an enormous 12 months in Tomdaya; 2017 is the 12 months this occurred – I do know you recognize what’s coming earlier than you even should see it, and we all the time need to see it.
Rihanna. “Umbrella”. Don’t inform me there’s not lore right here, there may be a lot lore! Tom and Zendaya, 9 years later, are married now… they’re one another’s umbrella!
And Rihanna’s a mom now, and her children are obsessive about Spider-Man, and given the era, it may solely be Tom Holland’s Spider-Man.
So the universe needs to be setting us up for an web demolishing second – or longer – when Rihanna, RZA, Riot, Rocki, and Rocky are in a photograph along with Tom and Zendaya for world peace. Gossip Genie, get to work!
