The tables turn in Rihanna‘s latest interview, which has the singer asking most of the questions.
Rihanna appears on Tuesday’s (Oct. 29) new episode of Recess Therapy, the feel-good YouTube series featuring interviews with regular kids who usually don’t realize their answers are funny — they’re just being themselves. (You might remember the web series for the “it’s corn” kid that went viral with this video in 2022.)
On the latest episode Rihanna meets 7-year-old Miles, her favorite Recess Therapy kid. Miles has previously talked to stars like Olivia Rodrigo and Dua Lipa, and those videos are probably among those Rihanna’s seen.
“I actually am a fan of yours, Miles,” she tells him on the new episode, adding, “I got a little bit excited about it and I started watching all your videos. You’re really funny.”
“I know,” Miles says.
Throughout the adorable conversation, Rihanna and Miles discuss songs and shoes, and address important life topics like confidence, thinking too much, lying and making friends.
What’s Miles’ favorite Rihanna song? “Shine bright like a diamond,” he says, without hesitation, which is cuteness overload for Rihanna.
“Love on the Brain” is her favorite to sing, she tells him. “Love on the Brain” is from her eighth studio album, Anti, released in 2016. Pop music lovers have been waiting for Rihanna’s ninth album since then.
Young Miles is much more present than most of us grownup interviewers, with no reason to think in headlines — so, unfortunately for her fans, he doesn’t get scoop on R9 on Recess Therapy. He discusses his love life with pop star instead.
