What a Friday! There’s speculation today that singer, businesswoman and philanthropist, Barbados’ Rihanna, may be pregnant. The artist has not confirmed it but at this very moment, the buzz surrounding this speculation is on overdrive.

Rihanna appeared at  the Essence Diamond Ball last night donning a Givenchy Haute Couture mermaid gown and toward her mid area, a small pooch was pretty visible. Added to that visual, the entertainer, in an interview made the comment,  “I’m a black woman. I came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, who came from a black woman and I’m going to give birth to a black woman.” She had been expressing the greatness of black women.

Rihanna has been in a pretty quiet relationship for some time with billionaire Saudi Arabian businessman Hassan Jameel. Hassan is a Saudi Arabian business man and the deputy president and vice chairman of his family’s charitable company that organizes programs that focus on “the social, cultural, educational, and economic development of individuals and communities in the Middle East region and beyond,” according to its official website.

Rihanna’s 5th annual Diamond Ball, benefitted The Clara Lionel Foundation– a foundation the Barbadian Grammy Award winner started to support and fund education and emergency response programs around the world. The foundation is presently assisting with Hurricane Dorian relief in the Bahamas.
