Rihanna Returns to Instagram
She’s back! After a six-month absence, Rihanna has returned to Instagram.
Badgalriri reunited with her nearly 13 million followers on Sunday morning, posting a photo of her head upside down with the caption: “Hellurrr #badgalback.”
Her account was suspended in May after she published a topless photo of herself from the cover of French magazine Lui. The naked pic, which violated the app’s terms of use, caused her account to go dark.
She also stirred controversy by posing in front of a mosque in Abu Dhabi and got a couple of Thai men in trouble by posting a picture of herself with an endangered animal.
But it appears that Rihanna and Instagram have made up. She shared a drawing of her holding hands with IG, writing, “#RIHunited #badgalback @instagRam.” Instagram also celebrated her return on Twitter.

During her absence, her fans petitioned for her return and BET’s “106 & Park” started a campaign to get RiRi back.
