Listen, would Rihanna telling you that “you’re fire” fix all the problems in your life? No. But would it, even if for a moment, make life feel better despite those problems? Abso-freakin-lutely. 

Such was the case for one fan who spotted Rih Rih checking out at the grocery store and asked the singer to take a selfie. The woman was also excited to share that her name was Robin, which happens to be Rihanna’s legal first name (Robyn). 

Rihanna acquiesced, and, as the two began posing, the woman warned her:

“I look terrible. I live with cancer.” 

Rihanna immediately responded, “You don’t look terrible,” to which Robin shared, “Everyone knows me, I don’t have my wig on.”

This prompted the “Umbrella” singer to say, “You know what I live for? A good hairline, honey. This is what I like to see. Anytime you meet anybody, don’t do that. You’re fire just like that.”

Beaming, this fan asked, “Can I quote you?” Rihanna responded, “Hell yeah…You’re fire!”
