Child fails to recognise Rihanna and asks her to take photo of him and Jack Grealish

In a sweet fan video that’s doing the rounds on the internet, Rihanna showed her humble side as a football fan asked if she’d take a photo of him with Jack Grealish.

The video was taken inside a box after AC Milan played Manchester City at the Yankee Stadium in New York on July 28.

The video showed the Umbrella singer taking a picture with footballers Jack Grealish, Christian Pulisic, and Yunus Musah as she attended the match with several other famous faces.

After posing for some photos the star was then asked by a little boy if she would take a photo for him.

But instead of requesting a photo with the pop star, the youngster was simply asking Rihanna to play photographer for him while he posed with the footballers.

The humble singer was more than happy to oblige and even sat down and leaned back to ensure she had the best angles for the boy’s photo.

She went into full photographer mode and even ushered other children to get involved in the photo as the sportsmen grinned at her.

Fans loved this sweet interaction from Rihanna and praised her for her down-to-earth energy throughout the interaction.

‘Literally the most humble celebrity alive,’ sashabanksfanf1 commented on the video on X.

Mad respect to @rihanna for this. Probably enjoyed being treated normal for once. Respect to her,’ CeJames12848 added.

‘She showed class by just taking the picture for the kid,’ another fan, 3dbfb315a5fa406, added.

Others also defended the little boy for not knowing who the singer was, suggesting that it was understandable as Rihanna’s last album, Anti, was released in 2016.

‘Well I mean what has she done in recent years I’ll always love my riri but these younger kids have no connection to her,’ jimmy_harrity said on X.

‘They were in the womb when anti released,’ socialupdatesss commented.

Taking to Instagram after meeting the singer, Grealish revealed that he was completely star-struck.

‘I’ll tell you the truth… First time I’ve been star-struck in a long while.

‘@baggirlriri Lovely to meet you after the game yesterday,’ he captioned an image of himself with the singer on his Instagram story.
