Pop star Rihanna has accepted the Humanitarian of the Year award from Harvard University with a heartfelt speech.
Rihanna accepting the honor said, so I made it to Harvard.
“Never thought I’d be able to say that in my life, but it feels good.”
She said with a grin, “I made it to Harvard,” and that legendary hair flip followed after that. And twitter is loving it!
Accepting the Harvard Humanitarian Award…
“So I made it to Harvard…??”
