Rihanna's Crazed Fan Has a Message for Her After Being Released From Jail

Calling all Rihanna Navy members!

UPDATE (5/30/17, 2:00 p.m.): If she didn’t already plan to before, as we predicted, the Barbadian bad gal Rihanna may want to seriously consider recruiting some maximum security from here on out.

According to TMZ, the Roc Nation music and fashion icon is still quite the apple of an obsessed fan’s eye — and no arrest or jail stint will change that. The site has reported that Salmir Feratovic declared he would not let up on his hunt for RiRi, even after being arrested for the second time when he stepped foot on her New York penthouse property last week. Reportedly, Feratovic entered a guilty plea for criminal trespassing as prosecutors sought out five days behind bars for the infraction. After the judge counted time served from a previous jail stay as part of the sentence, he was released only a day after the arrest.

Unfortunately, the knife that TMZ reports law enforcement discovered in his possession during the trespassing must not have been taken into much consideration either. Reports add that the 33-year-old claimed he had it only for his personal protection and not to harm the Anti songstress.

Regardless of what the judge orders, however, we hope RiRi steers the Navy ship clear of any run-ins with him in the meantime.  

Original story: 

Roc Nation’s Barbadian bad gal Rihanna and her global Rihanna Navy is known for turning the fandom all the way up for her tours, music, fashion and all things RiRi.

But when a 33-year-old obsessed fan literally turned up for the Anti songstress at her penthouse, his consequential arrest should serve as a lesson for any other fan taking things a bit too far. 

According to E! News, Salmir Feratovic was booked on criminal trespassing charges after making his way to the New York City apartment building. The arrest came after a member from the NYPD reportedly confirmed that he had been there before, but was prohibited from returning. E! News further states that he had a rap sheet of earlier arrests that included a May 2016 arrest for the same trespassing offense at the same location.

Though officials didn’t directly mention the bad gal, there are mysterious (and rather creepy) Facebook postings from an individual with the same name as Feratovic’s to consider. In March, the user left a comment on Hollywood Life’s Facebook post about Rihanna’s Bates Motel sex scene, asking, “Why [is she] not with me?” No statements from Feratovic or Rihanna’s camp have been reported.

But don’t be surprised if RiRi beefs up security after this one, Navy.
