“On behalf of the Cadets and the Los Angeles Police Memorial Foundation, I am delighted that Rihanna’s wonderful gesture of donating $25,000 plus her authorizing the sale of the ‘selfie phone’ resulted in the anonymous buyer turning around and donating the world’s most famous selfie phone to the Grammy Museum for display to the public,” Soboroff said. Rita George, deputy executive director of the Grammy Museum, said the artifact was happily accepted.
“We’re excited to welcome this interesting piece of pop culture into our permanent collection here at the Grammy Museum, and we are even more excited to show our support for the Los Angeles Police Department and the great work that they do,” George said.
