Rihanna<\/a><\/strong> is asking her fans, “Ooh na na, what’s my name?”<\/p>\n

The Grammy winner, who has been busy promoting her Fenty empire<\/a> in recent weeks, is subtly trying to tell us all how to pronounce her name. While many have referred to the star as “Re-Ah-Na” over the years, her name is actually pronounced “Re-Anna.”<\/p>\n

Rihanna actually confirmed this in recent videos for Vogue<\/em>, introducing herself to the camera. After seeing the videos, one social media user noted<\/a>, “so we’ve been pronouncing Rihanna’s name wrong this whole time.”<\/p>\n

In response, many Twitter users have pointed out it’s mostly Americans who pronounce it “Re-Ah-Na.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Only Americans pronounce it as rihaaaaaaana lol,” one social media user wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While another Twitter user added<\/a>, “us brits we BEEN pronouncing her name right since dayyy.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In response to one Vogue<\/em> video, a Twitter user thanked Rihanna for how she pronounces her name.<\/p>\n

“Thank you @Rihanna for pronouncing your name, my daughter’s name is Brianna but people pronounce it Brionna, similar to yours,” the tweet<\/a> reads.<\/p>\n

It turns out, Rihanna actually clarified<\/a> her name pronunciation during a 2012 interview with reporter AJ Hammer<\/strong>. During their chat, the superstar confirmed it is “Re-Anna.”<\/p>\n

Case closed!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
