Rihanna has swiftly become one of the biggest names in the music industry. With her versatile voice and fashionable appearance, it is undeniable that she is one of the most famous icons in the 21st century. Her talent grabbed producer Evan Rogers’ attention and convinced her to audition with rapper Jay-Z in 2004.
