You know how it goes with some friendships: ride or die through it all, even the ups and downs that come with fame. 

That’s definitely the case with Rihanna and her best friend Melissa Forde. Rihanna travels the world performing at shows and posing for high-fashion photo shoots, and Melissa is along for the ride, the fun, the company and of course, the ganja, but that doesn’t mean she can’t have a hustle of her own.

Melissa is the woman behind some of Rihanna’s sexiest Instagram photos and Rihanna’s “Diamonds” single artwork. She’s even working on a coffee table book compilation of photos of the Bajan superstar, and she’s finally decided to give us all a look inside.
