Following the captivating moment between both stars, the 22-year-old has now revealed how it felt meeting one of the most famous people in the world who’s a huge fan of her talent.
“So I knew she followed me on Instagram two years ago after the world championships in 2022. I think she must have seen me somewhere and found me and followed me and I was like ‘Oh Rihanna, that’s so random’. And I was like, oh, should I follow her back or should I not follow her back,” said Adeleke on The Late Late Show.
“And so after that, like, her team started reaching out to me, like send me products, send me goodluck notes for my races and stuff. So I thought maybe it was like her team. Like, she didn’t actually know who I was.
