Rihanna is now the most popular woman on Twitter after overtaking her pop star pal Katy Perry.

The 35-year-old star of the upcoming The Smurfs Movie now has 108.3m fans on the social network which was recently purchased by Elon Musk.

American Idol judge Katy still racks up an impressive 108.1 million on the app.

Rihanna's followers have boosted recently on April 11 thanks to a viral post which showed Easter pictures of her adorable 11-month-old son.

She tweeted: "Eastuh!!!" alongside a series of snaps of her baby even though she is yet to confirm his name.

The post hit an astonishing 26.7 million views with over 3,000 comments, 41k retweets and over half a million likes.

Rihanna announced her second pregnancy during her musical comeback and performance during the Super Bowl halftime show back in February.

The singer had fallen pregnant with current partner A$AP Rocky's child for the second time, 11 months after giving birth to their first child whose name is yet to be revealed.

The singer-turned-beauty mogul became a mother after officially reaching billionaire status in 2021 when she has crowned the richest female musician in the world and the second richest female entertainer after Oprah Winfrey.

With hits like Pon De Replay and Diamonds and her fashion brands and her skincare and cosmetics company Fenty Beauty, Rihanna has garnered $1.4 billion throughout her decade-long career.

Rihanna may have a battle on her hands as Katy will perform during the upcoming Coronation of King Charles III in London on May 7
