Joel Embiid still going hard after Rihanna with new avatar

Joel-Embiid-Rihanna

Joel Embiid is not ready to give Rihanna the Kim Kardashian treatment just yet. After all of his tweets about Kim K. were ignored, Embiid has moved on to courting the R&B singer. The Philadelphia 76ers rookie went on a fictional date with Rihanna last week and has even changed his Twitter avatar to make it look like they had dinner together.

Embiid continued his path toward making “Johanna” a reality on Thursday night by sharing some hilarious photoshops of him and his fake girlfriend.

The former Kansas star then must have gotten frustrated with some of the feedback he was getting, because he threatened to get off Twitter.

Savages should not be allowed on twitter. Some people are just hating

Don’t worry, Embiid kept tweeting and we’re guessing he’s not going to stop. If he’s going to keep posting funny stuff and working to build a following, he’ll have to learn to deal with the keyboard warriors. We hope he tunes them out, because his Twitter is pretty damn entertaining.
