How Rihanna Discovered an Aspiring Model on Instagram

Date:

Rihanna discovered an aspiring model after searching on Instagram.

In the music video ‘Bitch Better Have My Money,’ Rihanna kidnaps model Rachel Roberts with the help of two friends/henchwomen. One of them is Instagram Star Sita Abellan and she’s quite famous. While, the other henchwoman was discovered on Instagram.

In an interview with VICE, the aspiring model talked about the Instagram photo that got her the music video role and changed her life.

The story began three months ago when Rihanna noticed this photo on her Explore page:

Rihanna clicked ‘Follow,’ and the rest became history.

When I refreshed my notifications, she had unfollowed me, so I was sad about it. Then two weeks later, she followed me again. The next morning, I went to work, and I got a DM from her on Instagram. She was like, “Hey, I have this idea I want to run by you. I think you’re so fucking rare. Let me know if you’re interested.”

After finding out that Rihanna wanted her to star in an upcoming music video, Sanam, who works at a plant store, was put in touch with the production company.

At the end of the day, they were like, “We just got the confirmation from Rih: We want to cast you, and we want to fly you out tomorrow.” And I flew down there the next day. She followed me on Instagram on a Wednesday night, and then I was in LA on Friday morning. It was crazy.

Top it all off, Rihanna was “pretty down to earth”.
