WATCH: Man asks protester for Instagram name - fails to recognise superstar
This man did not expect to see this superstar at the protest - watch the viral moment below.
During the 'Stop Asian Hate' protest in New York City, a man who wanted to tag a woman in a photograph approached her to ask for her Instagram handle – not realising who he was talking to.
The man approached the famous singer, Rihanna.

Without saying anything, the 'Work' singer politely typed in her Instagram handle – which left the fellow protester confused.
After looking at the account closely, the man turned back to her to confirm in shock: “That’s you?!”
The singer - dressed in a mask and shades - burst out laughing.
A clip of the exchange has since gone viral on social media.

When Philicity Reeken saw the video, she was speechless.
"This is insane. If I was this guy, I would've jumped on her!"
In March, Rihanna made headlines across South Africa after she used a popular South African song in her new make-up advert.
In the latest Fenty Beauty collection campaign, the song, 'Midnight Starring' by DJ Maphorisa, Moonchild, DJ Tira, and Busiswa, is used.
