Rihanna loves spending time in Britain.
The 'Umbrella' singer, who is currently in the UK preparing for her upcoming tour dates, enjoys being in London because she loves meeting her "loyal" fans.
The Bermudan star told BANG Showbiz: "I love Britain, especially London because you can get great West Indian food. The fans are great here, they're incredibly loyal."
Although Rihanna says she loves being in Britain, she doesn't appear to know which continent it is in.
The singer gushed: "It's like being in Europe, but everyone speaks English."
Rihanna, 19, revealed she teases her English tour manager and mocks his accent.
She explained: "I have lots of fun with my tour manager. He says the funniest things. Like 'free' when he means 'three'."
The R'n'B star has also apologised to her UK fans for 'ruining' the British summer with her hit 'Umbrella'.
The rain-themed song topped the singles chart for an incredible 10 weeks, coinciding with the wet and miserable British summer - leading many to believe the track was 'cursed'.
Rihanna said: "I feel bad about the curse! Maybe I'll release a song about the sun."

Just like Rihana most Americans are very ignorant such that they think that Africa is one big country with no cities coz they ask stupid questions like how did you get to America? Are there mosquitoes in Africa? Where did you learn English? Even president Bush thinks that Africa is a state in Nigeria because he hears that they import oil from Nigeria. Just excuse the umbrella girl coz it seems like Americans are never tought Geography in schools
