what the description said, before and after
Like many of his peers, the global superstar grew up amid poverty and violence. Yet he stands apart in the world of rap. He rejects homophobia and misogyny, embraces being 'Mr. Rihanna' and is open about caring for his children. A Chanel ambassador, he is both an heir to the tradition of Black dandyism and the embodiment of a modern masculinity less bound by traditional norms.Like many of his peers, the superstar grew up amid poverty and violence.

« Les 15 ans de M » (2/22). Comme ses pairs, la star mondiale a grandi dans la pauvreté et la violence. Pourtant, dans son milieu, le musicien détonne. Il rejette l’homophobie, s’oppose à la misogynie, assume être « monsieur Rihanna » et de s’occuper de ses enfants. Ambassadeur Chanel, il est autant l’héritier d’un dandysme noir que l’incarnation d’une masculinité moderne moins normée.
