A group of Ottawans operating a YouTube comedy channel successfully pranked dozens of people into thinking that music superstar Rihanna took a walk through an Ottawa shopping mall on New Year's Eve.

Ayan Ali arrived at the mall in an expensive car with friends posing as bodyguards, fans, paparazzi and assistants, and it worked.
Dozens of people followed the group through the mall, occasionally managing to snap a photo with fake Ri Ri while the fake bodyguards shouted "Step back."
I bet all those vultures were beyhive... Are people from Ottawa that dumb to believe fhat paparazzi would be following around Rihanna in their mall and a real fan would know that is NOT her
Rihanna is several complexions lighter than this girl and if these were really fans wouldn't they question why Rihanna isn't with any of the people she's always photographed with. Lol. This was a mess.
