"I thought it was a scam till she said 'Oh nah nah'," he captioned the post tongue-in-cheek.
The texts suggest Rihanna's computer had been ransacked by a virus and that the musician needed a little extra money to make sure her album got released.
Naturally, social media users were left laughing by the dumb trickster and his poorly thought-out scam. Many people humorously remarked that it must be Rihanna because of her signature "Oh na na" singing.

The story of a Nigerian prince
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a 21-year-old young lady, Esther, living in the UK fell in love with a Nigerian man, Theo, after they had been constantly talking for a year.
She, however, suspected that he may be a catfish when Theo said that he did not want to rush their relationship because he is a Nigerian prince.
Esther wanted to solve her suspicion so she went on a popular show called MTV’s Catfish UK after her friend, Anita, contacted the show on her behalf that she has been having suspicion about Theo.
Though they had always talked since they met on Instagram, the young man had never at any moment agreed to FaceTime with her.
