Joel Embiid says he is no longer interested in Rihanna (Video)

January 18, 2018 by Larry Brown • Comments

Rihanna has missed her window of opportunity to date Joel Embiid.

Back when he was drafted in 2014, Embiid had a crush on Rihanna. He later said on Twitter that a famous woman told him to come back to her when he was an NBA All-Star because at the time, he wasn’t big enough for her to have interest.

Fast forward to today, and the Philadelphia 76ers big man earned his first All-Star nod. Many fans kept that in mind and let Rihanna know about it.

This is the truth… I was trying to get with this famous girl and she said " Come back when you're a All Star" bruhh pic.twitter.com/CFBnRqnKMA

Then after the Sixers beat the Boston Celtics on TNT Thursday night, Kristen Ledlow asked Embiid during an interview whether he had a message for Rihanna now that he’s an All-Star.

Embiid’s answer? I’ve moved on.

"She denied me back then, so why go with her again? I might have to pass that and move on to the next one… Trust the Process."@JoelEmbiid has a special message for @rihanna…

Embiid’s message is pretty simple: If she didn’t want me then, I’m not interested in her now.

You have to respect Embiid for his attitude. Also, Trust the Process.
