Rihanna Denies Dating Leo DiCaprio, Talks Crazy Fan Encounter And New Projects

R&B singer Rihanna had been gracing the headlines in tabloids in the past weeks with circulating rumours that she is dating “Titanic” star Leonardo DiCaprio. The two stars have been quiet about the issue, according to Urbanbelle Mag, but Rihanna finally debunked the claims that the two are romantically involved.

The tabloids have gotten it all wrong as Rihanna negated the rumours of a romance between her and DiCaprio. “Stay off the blogs, they will screw you every time,” she said, referring to the rumours’ sources, as quoted by News.com.au.

The hip hop star also shared that she’d like to settle down with a man someday, although not anytime soon. When asked about the perfect husband, she answered, “Someone who could tolerate my schedule; someone man enough to do that and not get scared because I don’t have a lot of time to offer.”

Rihanna previously came out of an abusive relationship with Chris Brown, who was charged with assault in 2009 after a photograph revealed Rihanna’s injuries after receiving a beating from him. She went on to date L.A. Dodgers baseball star Matt Kemp from 2009 to 2010, and most recently had broken up with rapper Drake last year.

The 27-year-old pop icon also dished about a crazy fan encounter she had a few days back, when a superfan posted photos of her body as a walking Rihanna shrine, covered in tattoos of the singer's images and signature. She found the gesture a bit too extreme, but found humour and amusement in it regardless.

Still, Rihanna has kept herself busy with new projects, saying that she gets “very fierce and passionate” about her career. Last week, she became the new face of Dior, the luxe brand’s very first black spokeswoman, which she considers very special. She was also recently in Manhattan to promote the animated film “Home,” where she voices Tip, the lead character who made friends with an alien voiced by “The Big Bang Theory’s” Jim Parsons.

Rihanna shared that she adored Tip’s brave and sassy personality as she could relate to those traits, adding that like her animated alter ego, little girls should be comfortable about being strong and being themselves. Moreover, her upcoming eighth studio album, which is still untitled, is due for release this year. The first single “FourFiveSeconds,” in collaboration with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, hit number four in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart upon its release.

Rihanna may have come a long way since her first debut solo album “Music of the Sun” in 2005, but she keeps her feet on the ground. She shared that she doesn’t want to ever feel comfortable saying that she is “at the top of her game,” as being on top could only see one other way to go – and that is down.
