‘Vote Cause I Can’t’: Rihanna Urges Fans To Vote Because She Can’t For THIS Reason

by

As someone who has always admired Rihanna for her fearless spirit and unwavering determination, I can’t help but be inspired by her latest call to action. Despite not being able to vote herself, she is using her platform to encourage others to exercise their right to vote. It’s a testament to her commitment to making a difference in the world, especially when it comes to women’s rights.

Rihanna injected some amusement into her call-to-action about voting on Instagram by sharing a video where she playfully suggested she might secretly enter a polling station using her son’s passport. She was joking, of course, but also encouraged her followers to exercise their right to vote.

Rihanna, who built her beauty empire Fenty Beauty, hasn’t been able to exercise her right to vote because she chose not to renounce her Barbados citizenship after moving to the US in 2005. Her sons, RZA (age 2) and Riot Rose (14 months), who are with A$AP Rocky, are American citizens. However, despite being unable to vote herself, she expressed her concerns over elections.

In an Instagram post, Riri spoke about the presidential election, emphasizing to her followers that every vote is important, particularly when it involves women’s rights. Her caption says, “Vote because I can’t #TanSuitSeason #votecauseicant,” which also references a political fashion term.

Although she hasn’t explicitly stated it, her post seems to suggest that she is backing Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Her disdain towards former President Donald Trump, which has been publicly known for some time, might be the reason for this implied support.

In the meantime, her video post included a humorous comment, “Point of View: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #VoteCauseICant.” Despite being a 36-year-old pop music sensation who relocated to the U.S. at the beginning of her career, she never switched her citizenship from Barbados. Consequently, she is not qualified to vote in American elections.

In the year 2018, the government of Barbados named her as their ambassador. By the year 2021, she was bestowed with the title of a National Hero of Barbados.

The artist behind the Umbrella anthem has now aligned with a star-studded lineup, encouraging their audience to exercise their right to vote. Notable figures like Eminem, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Jennifer Lopez, Dick Van Dyke, John Legend, Harrison Ford, Jessica Alba, Demi Lovato, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and others have expressed support for Kamala Harris as a presidential candidate while emphasizing the importance of voting.
