Rihanna has taken it upon herself to look for a bone marrow donor for Seun Adebiyi, a young Olympic skeleton participator suffering from Leukaemia, after he sent the singing-sensation a heartfelt letter. With the help of Grey’s Anatomy actor Justin Chambers, she is now doing everything she can to help the athlete fight the disease so he can compete in the winter Olympics.
‘Leukaemia interrupted Seun’s dream of being the first Nigerian in the Winter Olympics, but together we can help him make his dream come true. We need to find him a bone marrow donor! Please sign up with DKMS!’ contactmusic quotes Rihanna as saying.
The Olympic hopeful says he is surprised that the pair has time to help him, ‘I am deeply touched by their plea for donors, not just for me, but for others as well. Their voice are so powerful and it encourages me how they used their influence to raise awareness about this important issue. That was incredible’
This is not the first time that Rihanna has gone out of her way to help one of her fans, she previously made successful public pleas in 2009 and 2008 to help Jasmina Anema and Lisa Flynn find bone marrow transplants. Her kind heart hasn’t gone unnoticed.
In further news, Rihanna has sparked rumours she is dating baseball player Matt Kemp after the pair were spotted kissing in the Caribbean.
‘I think dating might be a stretch at this point. They are in Cabo, but past that they are just good friends, and I don’t think we can label it as anything other than a friendship right now’ said the representative for LA Dodgers in a statement.
‘Who knows what will develop past the friendship’ he added.
It seems the Russian Roulette singer is keeping her options open and has also been linked to pop-singer Justin Timberlake.
Meanwhile, the 21 year old has spoken out about the night she was beaten by ex-boyfriend and pop singer Chris Brown.
‘The physical pain comes and goes. The bruises fade away. But the emotional scars stay with you’ she told GQ magazine in an exclusive interview.
‘I didn’t call 911. No, I know everybody thinks I did, but it was someone else’ she went on to say.
‘I never blamed myself, but I wondered what did I do to provoke it?’
’It took a lot of strength to pull out of that relationship...Jay-Z gave me advice and support’ she concluded.
