On the eve of her 5th annual Diamond Ball, Rihanna sat down with Essence for an interview that has left fans buzzing.
However, the attention surrounding the interview has nothing to do with her philanthropic efforts or the star-studded guest list – it's all about a single sentence that has been misconstrued to mean she's expecting a baby.
"I'm a black woman. I come 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 told the outlet in a now-viral interview.
While Rihanna's statement was meant to emphasize her connection to her heritage, social media has taken it to mean that she's subtly confirmed she's pregnant with her first child.
As a result, the speculation has even begun trending on Twitter, with fans eagerly dissecting every word of the interview.
