Rihanna is mourning the loss of someone who was very dear to her. Monia, one of Riri’s loyal Navy fans has been battling cancer for the third time according to her Instagram and sadly passed on Christmas day. Monia and Riri shared a lot of special moments from visiting her in the hospital as well as keeping up with her on social media along with a lot of people following her battle with cancer.
When looking at Monia’s Instagram it’s very clear how much Rihanna meant to her with her profile photo as a picture of the two, and one of a post with a screenshot of a comment from Rihanna sending positivity and support while going through a difficult time.
Rihanna took to social media to share how hard the loss for her by posting a picture of them along with a very heartfelt caption:
This Christmas, we lost a beautiful spirit who was such a pillar of strength to us! Most of our friendship she’s spent in a hospital or doctor’s office! This picture was just a few months ago, she looked at me and said “Rih the cancer is back” I’ll never forget the fear in her eyes this day!
Still she pushed forward, fighting the fight everyday with the Navy behind her supporting her every step of the way! We are all heartbroken about this!!! You will never be forgotten! Love you my angel @moniasto fly in peace.
Riri followed up another video of the two talking and wrote “Miss you already sis”
