I wish someone would take her to task for the stupidity (in general) of the neck tattoo. So it turns out Rihanna knows more about French than those hoity toity writers at Gawker do! We’d say “touché,” but we don’t really know French.Įh, I kind of see her point, and I’ll concede the issue, mainly because I don’t really care. She wrote: “rebelle fleur translates to rebel flower, NOT rebelious flower, its 2 nouns so in that case fleur does not HAVE to be first! Fyi, cuz they will ask”. She even predicted that the press would try to call her out on it! While argued that, since the adjective usually comes before the noun in French, the phrase that was inked on RiRi’s neck last week should say “Fleur Rebelle.”īut in a text message that she sent to her tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy - which has been leaked exclusively to OK! - the “Rude Boy” singer says that the tat is right on the money. Two nouns, she claims.Īfter photos appeared of Rihanna’s new tattoo - which reads “Rebelle Fleur” - Internet pedants claimed that it was “gibberish” because she got the French phrasing wrong. Anyway, OK! Magazine has a piece today claiming that Rihanna intended the tattoo to read exactly as it does - Rebel Flower. While in English we say rebellious flower (putting the adjective before the noun), in French and other languages, you put the adjective after the noun. Apparently, it should be “Fleur Rebelle”. Yesterday, PopEater and other sites ran stories about how in French, this is completely wrong. Fruity chipper with sophisticated floral notes such as violet, hibiscus, and tuberose.

Other notes includes Hawaiian hibiscus flower, violet, tuberose, coconut water, vanilla, amber and musk. A few days ago, Rihanna went in and got a neck tattoo that read (in cursive) “ Rebelle Fleur”. Rebel Fleur by Rihanna for women is a fruity fragrance with notes of fruits such as, red berries, purple plums, and ripe peaches. I can’t believe Rihanna’s dumb neck tattoo is a two day story.
