Fans of Rihanna's have gone into overdrive amid rumours that she is pregnant.

The singer-turned-beauty and underwear mogul has been taking over the world with her business ventures. This week there was speculation that motherhood was next on the cards for her. It was Rihanna herself who ignited the rumours when she told a magazine; "I’m going to give birth to a black woman.”   [caption id="attachment_481104" align="alignnone" width="594"] Rihanna and Pharrell Williams perform at the Diamond Ball in New York City.[/caption] Speaking to Essence at her Diamond Ball charity event, she said; "I’m a black woman. I came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, who came from a black woman and I’m going to give birth to a black woman.

"My mother is an incredible example of how to fight through obstacles in life," she continued. "I’m sure her mom taught her that and that’s how I’m going to be.

The statement sounded fairly general but many fans took it as an announcement.
