Rihanna Declares Mychal Kendricks 'Man Crush', NFL linebacker Reacts
Rihanna's recently let the world know that she has a crush on NFL player Mychal Kendricks, and now the Philadelphia Eagles linebacker is responding to the claims.
Rihanna, the 25-year-old Barbadian pop star, took to Twitter to take part in a popular Twitter meme known as "Man Crush Mondays." Rihanna decided to name Kendricks, 23, as her man crush this past Monday, prompting the Eagles player to get some extra media attention.
Kendricks was questioned about Rihanna, the former girlfriend of Chris Brown, by CSNPhilly.com after her tweet. He acknowledged that he had heard about being named by the pop star.
"Some of the guys told me about it," Kendricks told CSNPhilly.com. "They were busting my chops a little."
However, it did not seem that Kendricks was willing to publicly entertain any romantic possibilities with the pop star.
"I don't want to talk about this, y'all," he told the CSNPhilly.com reporter.
After breaking things off with on-and-off again boyfriend Brown last May, it seems Rihanna has been enjoying the single life. However, she did reportedly give some relationship advice to a fan last year.
When one fan asked the popular singer for relationship advice in a private Twitter message, he shared her response for the world to see.
"Hey Rih, I hope it's not a bad time to message. Just been down lately and wondering if you had any words of encouragement. Trust issues with men," @Jamar84's original message to Rihanna reads.
Rihanna surprised her fan with her compassionate response.
"Anytime I have trust issues, I often assume that it has a lot to do with myself. Most of the time it's difficult to differentiate. Intuition and insecurities," she responded. "But no one ever wants to wait to figure it out. Whatever we do, we don't want to feel stupid!"
The singer continued by adding, "So we tend to jump the gun with no evidence to back it up. That's the biggest mistake anyone could ever make."
