Rihanna's life was almost put at risk this past weekend after a woman named Ivanna Lisette Ortiz reportedly fired shots at her home while the singer and her three children were reportedly inside. Luckily, Rihanna and her children did not get hurt in the incident, and the woman is already in custody following her failed shooting attempt.

Reports also revealed that Ortiz was in her Tesla when she opened fire on Rihanna's front gate, as well as a nearby vehicle parked outside. Ortiz tried to flee the scene but was later arrested by authorities. It has now been revealed that Ortiz is a known critic of the singer.

Online Tirade About Rihanna's Nose, Forehead

As of writing, there is no indication that Ortiz ever met Rihanna in person. But months before the shooting incident, she recorded a video of herself criticising the singer. In her lengthy online tirade, Ortiz claimed that God judged Rihanna by giving her a huge forehead and an 'ugly, ugly nose.'

Rihanna's fans accused Ortiz of being mentally unstable because she talks about the singer as though they have already met.

'Watchman' and a 'Witch'

In another compilation video, Ortiz called Rihanna a witch and then called herself a watchman. She also accused the singer of stealing her thoughts and alleged that Rihanna is jealous of her. Ortiz criticised Rihanna's music and said that none of her tracks have reached the public because she just released them for witchcraft.

Ortiz used to preach about God and the Bible as well. This has left Rihanna's fans confused because even though she seems Godly, Ortiz appears to have so much hatred in her heart.

Mugshots Aplenty?

Following her arrest, mugshots of Ortiz throughout the years circulated online. It is unclear if she had already been arrested before, but one post on X shows her appearance changing over time.

Ivanna Lisette Ortiz, the woman who was arrested after allegedly showing up outside Rihanna's home, had previously posted messages on Facebook mentioning Cardi B. In one post she wrote, "You ain't messing with me Cardi B." Some online are now pointing out the posts and saying it sounds like "Garbz" behavior. Ortiz is now behind bars, and many fans are saying it's a good thing the situation was stopped before anyone else could have potentially been targeted. #Rihanna #CardiB #CelebrityNews #HipHopNews #BreakingNews

A video of Ortiz impersonating Cardi B circulated online following her arrest. The clip was uploaded on TikTok, and it shows the accused shooter calling out to the rapper. She repeats her sentences, but the context remains unclear. In the video, Ortiz is wearing a long blonde wig, and her hairstyle resembles the rapper's hairstyle.

A Frustrated Rapper

Ortiz appears to be a frustrated rapper. She can be heard rapping about jealousy in one of the videos she uploaded before. It is unclear if her dislike for Rihanna stems from the fact that the singer has such a successful career. As for her, she has not made a name for herself in the music industry.
