Slipknot’s Biggest Fan may be a Surprise for Most

Music, beauty and fashion mogul, Rihanna, has always had an affinity for heavy metal – which has been prominently displayed in the media over the years.

She’s been spotted in Judas Priest and Krokus shirts and gaudy metal jackets and sweatpants. And even in 2017, she hired renowned death metal artists to create a death metal logo for her to be displayed during the Video Music Awards in 2017. Not to mention  directly or indirectly to allow Korn to make her song “Bitch Better Have My Money” more metal.

But does this actually make Rihanna  a metalhead? A week ago, Rihanna launched a physical store for her Fenty clothing line in Paris. Tim Blanks, the well renowned editor of ‘Business of Fashion’,  shared quite an interesting anecdote about RiRi:

“The first time I met Rihanna, she told me her favourite band was Slipknot. SHE’s launching her fabulous new collection in Paris, but where are THEY now?”
