Joel Embiid Curves Rihanna
A few years ago, young upstart rookie NBA player Joel Embiid had one dream: to go on a date with Rihanna. According to legend, she told him that he should call her when he became an All-Star. For years, this became a running gag with Joel shooting his shot regardless.
Well, last night, it was confirmed that Embiid is now an NBA All-Star starter. So what happened? Embiid’s fans bombarded Rihanna’s IG. But that’s not all.
Embiid was asked about Rihanna after his nationally televised game last night and you won’t believe what he said! Hit the flip.
WOW. Joel Embiid just turned Rihanna down on national TV. That’s a thing that happened. (via @World_Wide_Wob) pic.twitter.com/Z4P9qkhNiE

That’s right. Embiid said he’s on to the next one. Of course, it’s not like Rihanna was ever interested, so he didn’t really “curve” her but it’s hilarious nonetheless. Twitter went haywire and comedy ensued. Keep flipping to see the funniest reactions.

I so dig Joel Embiid shutting down RiHanna. If a girl doesn't want you the first time, you shut it down if she starts coming around. You don't "get around" to me. I lived that code and wore it like a suit of armor.
