Trolls, RiRi has no time for your shenanigans.
Rihanna has responded to Internet body-shamers who called her out after she appeared to be sporting a fuller figure.
The 'Love On The Brain' singer sent the Twittersphere into overdrive when images of the curvaceous star, dubbed 'Thickanna' by fans, went viral online.
While many fans were quick to compliment RiRi on her body, it wasn't long before users began making assumptions that the star was pregnant, with a number of trolls simply labelling her as "fat".

In response, Rihanna fans jumped to the Bajan beauty's defence.
The fact that people are saying Rihanna is 'fat' is a joke. Society needs to fix the fuck up.

It wasn't long before the meme queen herself retaliated to the body-shamers.
Taking to her Instagram account, Rihanna posted an iconic meme of Gucci Mane in the ultimate hater-aimed clap back.
The image involves a side-by-side comparison of the rapper before and after his dramatic transformation over the last 10 years.
The Insta post comes just days after the R&B songstress announced the upcoming launch of her debut cosmetics line.
Fenty Beauty will be arriving the autumn, and has been hailed by Ri herself as the "new generation of beauty".
