In a captivating incident during the ‘Stop Asian Hate’ march in New York City, a man asked one of the protestors for her Instagram handle so that he could tag her in a photograph without realizing that he was talking to none other than international pop sensation Rihanna. 

Without saying anything the Barbadian singer politely obliged – leaving her fellow protester visibly puzzled. “That's you?!” the man turned to the singer in shock after looking closely at the account. Rihanna burst out laughing following the incident.  A clip of the exchange, which reportedly took place on Monday, has gone viral on social media.
