Between Rihanna and Ikorodu kid dancers

by Staff writer





Three days ago, Rihanna shared a dance video of a Lagos-based young dance crew, Dream Catchers, dancing to a song by Wizkid on Instagram, to celebrate her win as first female artist to pass 2 billion streams worldwide on Apple Music.






The video got lots of reactions on Instagram, receiving over 2 million likes and more than 45K comments.


The kids then appreciated Rihanna for posting their video by sharing a photo of them holding a placard with Rihanna’s name on it.


To this, the ‘Man Down’ singer responded with sweet gratitude.


Re-posting the photo, she wrote:


“Awww my Lil squad…..I love YOU guys! I speak on behalf of the entire social media when I say this… you really brought a pure joy to our spirits just by seeing how happy you are when you dance! You personally made my day! Keep up the great work kids! ❤”
