Rihanna’s iconic voice and powerful hits have solidified her as a music legend. Yet, some fans recall her involvement in songs and lyrics differently, leading to intriguing Mandela Effects. Here are four cases where listeners are left scratching their heads.
1. Rihanna’s Chorus in The Monster
The Memory: In Eminem’s The Monster, Rihanna’s chorus ended with her singing, “Well, that’s not fair.”
The Reality: Listening to the song today, the chorus ends with, “Well, that’s nothin’.”
For those who distinctly remember “that’s not fair,” this change feels undeniable. The phrase encapsulated the emotional tone of the song, yet it now seems to have been rewritten in our reality.

2. Rihanna on Titanium by David Guetta
The Memory: Rihanna was the female artist featured on David Guetta’s hit Titanium.
The Reality: The singer is actually Sia, not Rihanna. Many fans distinctly remember Rihanna’s vocals accompanying the song’s empowering message.
This Mandela Effect raises the question of whether Rihanna’s influence or style led people to mistakenly associate her with the track.

3. Rihanna Singing Chandelier
The Memory: Rihanna was thought to be the original artist behind Sia’s powerful ballad Chandelier.
