This year’s recipient for the NAACP President’s Award is none other than Rihanna. The organization announced on Tuesday that the singer would be awarded the honor during the NAACP Image Award show, according to Pitchfork.
The award, which is given “in recognition of special achievement and distinguished public service,” was previously awarded to Jay-Z in 2019.

“From her business achievements through Fenty to her tremendous record as an activist and philanthropist, Rihanna epitomizes the type of character, grace, and devotion to justice that we seek to highlight in our President’s Award,” NAACP President Derrick Johnson said.
Rihanna who last put out an album in 2016, has dedicated her time to other business and philanthropic ventures.
Clara Lionel Foundation, Rihanna’s organization named after her grandparents, was honored at the Diamond Ball for its outreach efforts back in 2019, as Blavity previously reported. The foundation works to provide health care and education to underserved communities.
