Watch: Pregnant Rihanna lookalike draws big crowd in Brazil
Rihanna, is that you? The 'Umbrella' hitmaker's fans in Brazil can't seem to tell the real from the fake in this crazy video from Brazil.
A woman walked the streets of Brazil pretending to be Rihanna and successfully fooled scores of people.
Adoring fans kissed her pregnant belly, many lined up for selfies, and showered her with words of praise. There was even a tear or two.
In their defence, the woman was surrounded by fake bodyguards as well - indicating that she must be someone important.
At first glance, the woman does look like the Grammy Award winner but after a few seconds, it becomes quite obvious that she is not the real deal.
