My 30th birthday was not great. I remember being very depressed for many different reasons. I’ll say this though: with every birthday after your 30th, you give less of a sh-t about all of it. You care less about birthdays, you care less about what people think of your age, you care less about other people’s opinions in general. That being said, I was recently carded going into an R-rated movie and it made my f–king day (the kid carding me didn’t even look 18, so I still don’t know how to feel about it). Obviously, though, none of us are Rihanna. Rihanna turns 30 years old today. She is evergreen though – she’ll probably love her 30th birthday, and she’ll probably throw herself a huge party and dance the night away with her billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel. According to E! News, Hassan and Rihanna are still happening:
At age 30, Rihanna is older, wiser and in love. The R&B and pop star is celebrating her birthday about eight months after she first stepped out with Saudi boyfriend Hassan Jameel. This relationship is different from the past ones Rihanna has been known to have. She has notoriously dated fellow music artists—there was her past relationship with Chris Brown, which ended horrifically, and more recently, Drake, with whom she had often collaborated and performed with. Hassan has nothing to do with the music industry.
He’s also probably the wealthiest man she’s ever dated. He is a billionaire who serves as the deputy president and vice chairman of the family-owned Abdul Latif Jameel, a conglomerate that is one of the largest businesses in the world and which exclusively owns Toyota distribution rights in Saudi Arabia. According to The Independent, his family fortune is estimated to be approximately $1.5 billion. His family is so rich that they even own their own pro soccer league.
Rihanna and Hassan keep their relationship private. The two do not talk about each other in the press. Rihanna has also never brought Hassan as a date to a celebrity event. Rihanna and Hassan have rarely been photographed out together and have tended to avoid paparazzi-ridden places. They have traveled together abroad to places like Spain—where they were first linked romantically in June, London—where they were seen dining together in September, and Boston—where they vacationed in October.
Last month, the two were photographed leaving a 2018 Grammy Awards after-party at 1 OAK in New York City, separately. A partygoer told E! News the two sat together at the owner’s table, “showed some PDA throughout the night” and hung out with Diddy and his girlfriend Cassie.
“Rihanna and Hassan showed affection throughout the evening,” a source told E! News. “It was cool because he can roll with Rihanna, he fits in great.”
Many blessings for Rihanna on her 30th birthday. May her billionaire lover shower her with gifts, private plane rides and Jacuzzi sex. May Rihanna’s empire grow and grow until it takes over the world. Rihanna for president/empress/queen. (Also: even though I’m happy that Rihanna is getting some and enjoying herself, I think that’s all it is – I don’t think Hassan is her Forever Dude.)

Go get it girl!
It’s never the milestone birthday that gets me. There is usually a fun party associated with that. But 31? Not fun. 41….51…..I’m dreading 61.
I was coming here to say the same thing, lol. Turning 30 didn’t bother me, neither did turning 40. This past autumn, however, when I turned 41…not fun. It’s the +1 that gets to me.
My 30 was terrible. Had gone through a broken engagement, potential wedding date was twi days after my birthday. Sadnes, tear, depression, crossed 30 and still single, with everyone else saying the same( broken engagement is huge deal with Indians). One of the worst ever. I threw the party on my 31. I still was single but couldn’t give less FCUK, was my best so far healthwise, fitness wise, was peaceful and making good money. I think it was one of the best birthdays ever. 32 is coming soon and life is positive and peaceful.
Is he a billionaire or his family a billionire family? Its an important distinction since Saudi families tend to be very large since they have an appreciation for extended family bonds plus polygamy is the norm. He seems like a socialite with a meaningless business title to me and in heir terms probably isnt worth very much once the wealth is split. Guys like that tend to bend to the familys will easily.
All that to say, she can and should do better. Surely theres a self made exec somewhere worthy. Maybe even the self made exec who actually does run this guys familys business
These are great points but I’d counter with look how fine he is. Just look at him! Sheesh! I doubt she’s gonna marry him but he’s definitely a great way to end your 20’s and start your 30’s.
@ Reef:
I had to google him. First time I’m envious of her. Dude is hotter than the sun.
Meh, I think Rihanna has the right idea. She got herself a casual pretty boy-toy who comes with some money. Good on her.
I mean, damn, we don’t even know the guy. He could treat Rihanna like a queen. Can we hold back on the she can and should do better until we have reason to know for sure. Also, it is silly to suggest a self made exec is automatically going to be better than this guy just because he’s self made. Look how things turned out with Chris Brown and Aubrey. Rihanna should be with who she wants to be with as long as the guy isn’t abusive, isn’t dragging her down, trying to get a hold of her coin, or mistreating her.
Like Patty said, it’s harsh to say “she can do better”…especially since she’s done a lot worse. Dude is good looking, has his own money and isn’t a big fame ho..I think that’s already a good start.
There is actually a rihanna fan made IG Page dedicated to their relationship. It’s called rihxhj. When you go over there you will see his titile isn’t “meaningless”. He actually runs the business alongside his father. They post countless of photos & videos of him working. You are just hatful for no reason with the assumptions you made up in your own head.
@krill I came here to say the same thing. I am actually quite surprised by her…and Janet Jackson. There’s serious anti-black racism in Saudi and other Arab countries and money and fame can only insulate you from that for so long.

I wonder what one buys for the girl who has everything?
A cashmere hot water bottle cover?
A solid gold Tiffany paper clip?
Must be nice!
Happy Birthday to Queen Rih!
nice article also see, Hope people will get some valuable information through this blog
I was just actively wondering if they were still together like, yesterday, so I’m grateful for this prescient information about the most important millennial of our time. #kween
It should be a National Celebration ..therefore I declare a day off.
I’m sure a Rhianna birthday will be fun and wild. Had huge parties for my milestone birthdays like when I turned 30 and 40. After 40 I don’t give a crap really how old I am, but I do want cake! 😋
Spending time with one’s billionaire boyfriend is the best way to celebrate any birthday, IMO.
She’s been looking the same for over ten years. Happy birthday, Rob!! Get yours, and bless you for what you do for this World.
I love my 30’s, but it is still hard getting older every year. Inching closer and closer to 40 LOL I’m surprised Rihanna has been with him for this long. She seems the type to not settle down.
It is soooo hard! I turned 42 in January. I still look OK but I must feel like my 40s are gonna be the toughest. My eyes now sag a bit at the corners. I get Botox for my crow’s feet around my eyes.but now, I think I’m starting to lose volume in my face and I can see some grooves from smiling, etc, around my mouth. And I see some changes on my neck. Nothing major but still, its hard!
I am so happy for her! After what she has gone through, she knows what she wants. ENJOY Ri-ri!!! & Yes he is fiz-ine!!!
I really love Rihanna, Sophie Turner and James Corden but I just have to agree with what you said. Rihanna is an amazing singer but she should really stay just there, James is an amazing person and very funny man but I dont think that voice acting is his thing and Sophie Turner is very beautiful, charismatic woman but not really good as an actress (except for her appearance in Game of Thrones but thats just because the role of Sansa fits her perfectly). However dont you dare say that Chris Pratt is going to ruin something. Hes the type of actor who could make even Twilight entertaining
