Rihanna has defended her ‘Rebelle Fleur’ tattoo after claims it’s the wrong French spelling and grammar.

According to reports she sent the artist behind the body art a message telling her what to say to the press.

It’s claimed Ri wrote: ‘Rebelle fleur translates to rebel flower, NOT rebelious flower, its 2 nouns so in that case fleur does not HAVE to be first! Fyi, cuz they will ask.”

Luckily for the Te Amo singer whatever the words really means they can be removed after three months.

The star had the tat’ inked temporarily while she decides whether to have it made permanent.

It’s only the latest tattoo that Rihanna’s paid for. She’s got drawings all over her body including one behind each ear and a music note on her ankle.

Last week she also revealed a piercing in a rather, er, intimate place!
