Ms Rachel Reveals Surprise DM From Rihanna on Podcast

Ms. Rachel, a popular children's content creator known for her YouTube series 'Songs for Littles,' recently revealed on Kylie Kelce's 'Not Gonna Lie' podcast that she had been unintentionally ignoring direct messages on Instagram, including one from pop superstar Rihanna. Describing herself as an 'elder millennial' not adept with Instagram, Ms. Rachel did not recognize Rihanna's handle '@badgalriri' and only realized who it was after asking friends, which she described as a 'tiny, little flex' and admitted to gasping in surprise. Despite her fame and celebrity admirers, Ms. Rachel remains humble, focusing on helping children develop language skills through music, a mission that has earned her fans among parents and celebrities alike, including Robert De Niro and John Legend, with whom she has performed. Rihanna, who has two toddlers with A$AP Rocky, is among the 3.5 million people who follow Ms. Rachel on Instagram, highlighting the broad appeal and influence of Ms. Rachel's educational content. This anecdote underscores Ms. Rachel's down-to-earth personality and the unexpected connections social media can foster between stars and family-friendly influencers.
