Rihanna Inspires Howard University Students To Protest Against Financial Aid Injustice
Is there anything Rihanna can't do? In lew of promoting her latest Fenty Beauty products, the singer motivated Howard University students that have been protesting against inequity with the help of her music.
Students Protest Against Injustice
Recently, the college made headlines after it was revealed that employees stole about $1 million from the university's financial aid.
Of course, the students were outraged, which eventually led them to protest against the matter.
On Thursday, March 29, Riri herself decided to retweet the video of the group of students as they demonstrated in response to the incident. Although it was just like any other protest, what made it interesting is that the group chose the 30-year-old's single, "Bitch Better Have My Money" as their anthem.
Social media users immediately pointed out that the song couldn't be more fitting for the cause.
In the video, the students could be heard chanting the lyrics to Riri's song as they throw their hands up and stand in the school's administrative building.

Frederick also stated that the situation was investigated and those involved were fired last year.
Fenty Beauty Gives Back

Last night in NZ, got back to the hotel after a day trip and found absolutely nothing in my room. Some bastard stole everthing I got. I hate people so much. I lived out of my bag for 2years and now everything’s gone. Fml. — Chiara(@OnlyIfForRih) March 25, 2018
All my Fenty Beauty as well — Chiara (@OnlyIfForRih) March 25, 2018
Not only did the brand replace all of her stolen Fenty Beauty products, but the brand also gifted the woman some other goodies.
