According to the source, “I tried to get the Papa Smurf role but It didn’t work out,” she apparently joked at the Las Vegas event. Rihanna is also going to write and record original songs for the film.
“Getting to do animation is a fun journey for me,” Rihanna also said, according to IndieWire. “I’m usually front and center with everything with my likeness… but this was fun, I got to imagine, I got to show up in my pajamas in my third trimester, and be a blue badass.”
