I live with cancer. Can I take a picture with you?&#8221; the fan asked in a viral video shared by &#8220;Unlocked&#8221; host Jason Lee.<\/p>\n<p>Rihanna immediately reassured her: &#8220;You don&#8217;t look terrible,&#8221; and posed for a photo.<\/p>\n<p>Robyn then showed her a picture of herself wearing a wig. &#8220;Everyone knows me. I don&#8217;t have my wig on,&#8221; she said. Rihanna embraced her, noting they share the same name.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know what I live for \u2026 a good hairline, honey,&#8221; said the singer, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And your name&#8217;s Robyn, like mine,&#8221; she added, crouching down for the camera. &#8220;Thank you.

You&#8217;re fire just like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe alleged Rihanna shooter has her day in court, but is she mentally competent to stand trial? Ivanna Lisette Ortiz faces attempted murder charges and more than a dozen other felonies after shooting at least 20 bullets into and near Rihanna and A$AP Rocky&#8217;s home. On June 3, her case was brought to a mental health court as A$AP opens about how he and his partner are coping following the shooting on &#8220;The Vibe Q&#8221; podcast.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can I quote you?&#8221; the fan asked.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hell yeah!
