He's not a rude boy! Rihanna bonds with a young fan as they cheer on their team at NBA clash

She was last spotted with her arm draped across Eminem’s shoulders in a fun snap taken on the set of their new music video.
But while its accompanying track breaks records on the Billboard Hot 100, Rihanna has some significantly younger company on Friday when she took in a basketball game at Staples Centre in Los Angeles.
The Bajaan beauty occupied a front row seat as home team LA Lakers took on the Oakland based Golden State Warriors, and she appeared to be in high spirits as she cheered on her team with close pal Melissa Forde.
