Rihanna Has Moved To London, Shops At Sainsburys And None Of Us Even Noticed

She walks amongst us.

It’s not often a megastar relocates to Blighty and nobody notices.

Just ask Madonna. Or Brad and Ange.

Madge has long since departed our shores for the somewhat sunnier climes of Portugal, and Brad and Ange… well we all know what happened to Brad and Ange.

But Rihanna’s revelation that she ditched LA for London in an interview with The New York Times Style Magazine has left everyone shook.

Because literally nobody noticed.

Not even our dearly beloved British paparazzi.

She’s even been walking amongst us, admitting that she goes “walking around the block”.

To Sainsburys, no less.

Rihanna and that bag-for-life.

We know this because some eagle-eyed fans spotted a bag-for-life in the background of one of her Instagram snaps (a sound investment BTW).

The singer relocated to the Big Smoke earlier this year so she could be closer to the team who are helping her launch her luxury Fenty clothing line.

Naturally, people are (a) losing their shizzle over the fact that Ri-Ri is now an honorary Londoner and (b) trying to work out where the hell she’s living in the capital.

Rihanna lives in London?? I didn't know I was this close to the queen. I've breathed the same London air as her! oMg!

This morning I learnt that Rihanna lives in London now and I don’t know if I’ll ever be the same.

Rihanna moved to London and realised how ridiculous it is that we had to traipse to SW to swatch Fenty. Woman of the people

I started reading Rihanna's interview from NYT and I see they had the interview at some place called Dark Sugars Chocolates. It's in London only. Does Rihanna live in London?

Speculation on exactly where Rihanna resides is rife, especially after her interview with the New York Times included a few clues.

First up, the interview took place in Dark Sugar Chocolates, which is in Brick Lane. But let’s face it, that doesn’t mean it’s her manor. She could have just hopped on the tube...

#Rihanna lives in #London!😎In 2011 she rode the Tube to her own concert, with the public, who couldn't believe their eyes. She was still en-route 15 minutes before her support act Calvin Harris was due on stage. Robyn Rihanna Fenty is officially a Londoner! And we ❤️it. And her! pic.twitter.com/VVpsL76dan

RiRi also mentions that there’s “a cute little Jamaican market near where I live right now”, but again, in the multi-cultural metropolis that is London town, this could be North, East, South or West.

Wherever it is, it’s likely to be somewhere rather swanky, seeing as her boyfriend, Hassan Jameel lives here and he happens to be a billionaire.

That’s if they even live together.

So. Many. Questions.

Looks like we’re just going to have to keep ’em peeled for our stealth queen.
