ALL PAN NECOLE BITCHIE DI STORY REACH OO

Ever since we relaunched the ‘I Met A Celebrity’ feature, we have received tons of emails from fans who have experienced incredible encounters with some of their favorite celebrities. Unfortunately, not all of the entries are good and I felt as though it wouldn’t be fair to highlight the good entries, and ignore the bad entries, especially when this feature was created to give fans a platform to share their stories.

With that being said, I somehow found myself in the middle of a Twitter beef with a rapper on Saturday night who was pissed off that I tweeted an email from a fan in Amsterdam who was upset that she asked him for a photo and he told her it would be $100. She was devastated after he told her “No Money, No Picture!!” and she had just spent $65 bucks for VIP tickets to his show. A few more fans co-signed that they experienced the same situation after a show in Paris and they were beyond mad about it. Luckily, to counter the negative experience, that same night Rihanna went over and beyond for a fan in Chi-town.

The woman, by the name of Tami Blak, had traveled to Chicago from Indiana with her two kids with hopes of meeting Ri after her concert. To her disappointment, at the end of the night, the meeting with Rihanna did not look as though it was going to happen, and Tami began to head back home, and that’s when she received an Instagram message from Rihanna to “Turn around.” The rest is great fan story history!

Read it below Via Tami:

My kids and I were there at the United Center since 7:30pm, just waiting for Rih. She hit the stage at around 10pm. Asap Rocky didn’t perform so from 7:30-10 it was just music playing but I didn’t care, I was there to see my love, Robyn. Our seats weren’t the best, but we were gonna make the best of the situation because we drove from Indiana to Chicago and my mind was made up to make it the best time for myself and the girls. We were going to see Rihanna! It was my dream and birthday wish to meet her. She’s my fav celeb person because shes an island girl, a great artist, she can sing, create, design. She’s just the all around package and I admire her for all she’s been through. She’s a soldier. Plus, she loves her fans. She actually takes time out to interact with us, shes the most realest and down to earth person ever. Did I mention how gorgeous she is? Omg!

We were in nose bleed seats so I decided to try and sneak into a more closer seat. Me and my girls were on the move, we went up the stairs to one level found great seats and we just started cheering her on. My 4 year old was dancing, my 10 year old was snapping pics. I was way into it more than anyone else, I couldn’t sit still, I was like a kid in a candy store. I brought my police whistle, I stole from my old job I blew it lmaooo I was in the moment. But I had started wondering with all these people there, if we would even get the chance to meet her.

After she was done performing we left. I was sad and angry, I was on the verge of crying, I kid you not. I was sweating from going up and down the stairs with my 4 year old on my back. We were tired. We gave up and got in the car to head home.

I took one pic of the road ahead of us for Instagram and captioned “we didn’t get to see her, but we did sneak to better seats lol.” 4 minutes later she commented and said “u left?” “how far” “come back and I’ll send somebody to bring you in!” I responded and said, “about 5 mins ago want me to turn around?” she comments back and said “yes!! So sorry about this ma can’t let the girls go home like that come back.”

We were at the toll road on the highway. We had to go through the toll then turn back around. Her bodyguard called me and told me where to meet him. She already had my number because she follows me on twitter and I told her I was going to her show and I was going to bring the girls with me but I didn’t know if she had gotten my message.

The kids were half sleep and I was a hot sweaty mess. But we had to meet her. We went and parked where her trucks and busses were parked. Her bodyguard came to meet us and escorted us backstage to a room with some other guests and we waited. I saw Melissa and Leandra (Rihanna’s best friends) and met them both. I picked them up and hugged them. Lol then we waited some more. They were packing up. The other guests got impatient and left. We waited. We were the last ones left in the room. Then a lady in a light purple outfit told me to come with her.

I grabbed the girls and we went outside the room and down the hall. That’s when I saw Rihanna walking towards us. Omfg!! I just started running to her, it was like a scene from a movie or something. I couldn’t stop smiling, I ran to her, she ran back to me and when we got to each other we hugged. That moment was the best moment of my life. I felt like I was meeting a long lost friend who I haven’t seen in years. I just wanted to hug her. I had no words. She came and she sat down on the boxes. We all sat down and started talking. I couldn’t sit. I stood. I was way too happy. I told her if I died tomorrow I would die happy. Lol!

We talked about random stuff. What kind of shows we watched like real housewives and black ink. She said she watch those shows. She saw me on a TV show I did in Jamaica 2 years ago. We talked about my daughters, she played with them. I remember O stood beside her and said “I’m in the presence of Queen Rihanna” she smiled. She’s honestly the most beautiful person I’ve ever laid my eyes on. She’s so warm, she hugged my girls, played in Maya’s hair, then played in Alexis’ hair, she’s the one who suggested we take a couple pics.

I was just in the moment, not thinking about pics, I was trying to see if I was dreaming, because it just didn’t seem real to me. It’s like she walked out of heaven and welcomed us with open arms. I think we spent 30-45 minutes with her. I don’t know, but we were with her for a while and I didn’t want to leave. It didn’t feel awkward or forced, it felt like I’m catching up with an old friend, that’s how humble she was. It felt like a family affair. Her staff is very nice and friendly. Her friends are nice and friendly. It was getting late, like around 4am.

When we were walking away with the guard, she said “Let me know when you guys get home!!” When will your fav ever care about your safety?! I fell in love with her. I loved her before but now I feel more love. I will always love and support her. I came up with this word Rihsbian lol because I think she’s the hottest, she’s sexy, smart, beautiful and humble and she excites me. I will be a rihsbian for life, I will be a fan for life.

Just a little added note: When I reached out to Tami to see if she would share her story, she responded “Let me ask Robyn if it’s okay first,” and I respected that. You can’t buy that type of connection or bond with fans and this is why Rihanna continues to stay on top.

Thanks for sending Tami!
