Pop superstar Rihanna was spotted wearing a seemingly political T-shirt in New York City on Friday, garnering interest from those on the Right.
The T-shirt was emblazoned with the words “think while it’s still legal” in a style reminiscent of a campaign poster. The singer, who recently reached billionaire status and became the highest-paid female singer in the world, has remained silent about her intentions in wearing the shirt, but many on the Right, including Donald Trump Jr., filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza, and political activist Jack Posobiec, shared images of her wearing the shirt on social media.

The shirt is from the fall 2021 collection of luxury brand Vetements. Designer Demna Gvasalia told Vogue earlier this year that it’s a general reflection of “the hell we’re all living through.” The brand has a history of subversive takes, with the magazine writing in 2016 that the brand’s “genius” came from “its appropriation and refinement of mass culture into tongue-in-cheek garments.”
Rihanna’s outfit choice follows the Nicki Minaj Twitter blowup earlier this month when the rapper said that part of the reason she refused to attend the Met Gala was because of the COVID-19 vaccine requirement. The White House subsequently offered to call Minaj and connect her with administration doctors to answer her questions about the vaccine.

The two stars are friends, with Minaj, who has nearly 23 million followers on Twitter, posting pictures of them together earlier this month.
