A$AP Rocky (born Rakim Mayers) recently gifted his lover Rihanna a breathtaking piece of portrait photography that has left fans ecstatic.

This beautiful gesture went viral on social media platforms on May 2, 2025. The photograph, which shows Rihanna with her iconic braided hair and stunning expression, was featured in a photo collage with a natural outdoor setting and a tranquil body of water.
Chiamaka Iwenofu, a Nigerian artist who started her creative journey in 2012, is recognised for her mixed media techniques that use canvas, pencil, textiles, beads, and real hair.
Her work frequently honours African culture, resulting in rich compositions that are alive with depth and emotion. Iwenofu most likely used her characteristic style for Rihanna's image, using items such as beads or natural hair to give the artwork a distinct, tactile texture.
Fans on social media applauded the portrait's skill, with some mentioning its "shiny" elements, while others began amusing disputes about specific aspects such as the nose.
The unveiling of the image has also given additional attention to Iwenofu, whose body of work includes over 2,000 pieces and is gaining popularity online.
