Rihanna clone shares struggles of being Riri lookalike – but fans just want to know where album is

You think you’d have the world at you feet if you woke up every morning looking like the pop Queen that is Rihanna.

But it turns out it’s not always so easy to look like the Rude Boy songstress, as Riri doppelganger Yna Sertalf knows all too well.

While chatting to BuzzFeed, the 23-year-old lookalike opened up on her daily struggles of being a Rihanna clone.

And it doesn’t sound as glamorous as you’d think.

She told the publication: ‘Because I’m a little shy I’ve never used it voluntarily, but it’s true that it’s easier to get into a club or to be offered a drink.’

But while enjoying her freebies, the France native revealed she is still battling to find love because of her looks.

The influencer added: ‘I’ve heard it for a long time and sometimes people ask to take pictures with me when I go out.

‘But in my personal life, it can be a bit complicated because I never know if someone is speaking to me for my personality or because they think I look like Rihanna.’

She continued: ‘When I talk to a guy it’s often “you look like Rihanna” and he’s happy to show me off to his friends and I often wonder if we can move beyond the looks.

‘But outside of that I find it all pretty funny.’

The rising star spoke about how it was her uncle who first noticed the similarities to the singer, after she’d chopped her hair into a bob.

He went onto tell Yna’s mum, and since then it seems as though both her family and fans alike have compared her to the star – especially after she joined Instagram. 

Posing in similar ways to Rihanna, Yna has quickly found herself a following on the social media platform, and has already racked up 23,000 followers. 

But despite her not being able to find love just yet, it seems her fans aren’t too fussed, as they keep asking the Instagrammer where the album is at.

Since the real Umbrella songstress started to tease her fans with new material, she has been inundated with the same question – turning it into a running joke with her fanbase.

And while we eagerly await her next release, it seems pappa Fenty couldn’t help but let some news slip when he was reportedly chatting to fans about his daughter’s career.

Someone claimed to have sent a DM to the star’s father on Instagram begging for details on the new album.

They later told their fellow Navy members that Ronald replied: ‘She’s working on her new album she is in the studio right now.

‘The other one will be out next year her engineer and fell ill he’s in the hospital he’s making a speedy recovery.

‘She will release one she’ll be keeping others for the future like prince like Michael Jackson stockpiling blood in the new year you were here [sic].’
