"Thank you 2 all my supporters!You're one of a kind and ANYBODY would be lucky to have you! It feels good to have real fans #loyal #navyRdie (sic)" she posted on Twitter.

Fans were quick to reply and Rihanna retweeted one message.

The 26-year-old beauty isn't just popular among her navy, but also with Germany's football team.

Germany won 1-0 against Argentina in the World Cup final on Sunday and Rihanna was live in Brazil to watch the game.

"Congrats to my German boyz! This was the most epic experience of my entire life! You guys made me so proud to be here," she excitedly posted.

"I touched the cup, held the cup, kissed the cup, took a selfie wit the cup!!! I meeeaan...... what is YO bucket list looking like bruh? (sic)"

The star was later spotted at Urca Beach in Rio de Janeiro, where she took a dip in the sea. TMZ posted pictures of the singer, adding it was unusual she decided to brave the water, as it's said to be polluted.
