Superstar seems to have a very genteel way of riding a jetski according to snaps from her Barbados break in 2011

THE internet has gone into meltdown after a bizarre snap of Rihanna on a jetski resurfaced online from 2011.

For some reason the superstar, 29, is riding the jetski with her legs crossed in the picture, which has left her fans scratching their heads, seeing as it is normally ridden with legs either side.

With her huge hairdo blowing in the wind, Rihanna’s unusual sidesaddle riding – and bored expression – have left her fans in tears of laughter.

The usual Twitter caption competition kicked off as soon as the picture found its way online again after six years.

One fan wrote: “Rihanna is waiting for her pizza order on a jetski.”

Another joked: “Only #Rihanna is allowed to ride a jet ski like this.”

And a third chipped in with: “I didn’t think it was possible to look unhappy while riding a jet ski, but Rihanna proved me wrong.”

Other pics from the same afternoon in 2001 show Rihanna looking slightly more cheerful as she jokes around with pals in a white bikini.

It seems Rihanna has given the world major life inspiration merely by choosing not to ride a jetski in the conventional way.

Her fans have been saying her jetski outing really reflects their personalities, with one gushing: “@Rihanna all “idgaf” on a jet ski will FORVER be my mood.”

Rihanna, who recently stripped nude to promote her collaboration with a shoe designer, is still as fabulously morose today as she was in 2011.

But her sense of humour shines through occasionally, as it did when she pulled a hilarious face at an event with Karl Lagerfield.

She’s now about to grace the world with a major acting role as Nine Ball in Ocean’s 8, which she hopes will set her on track to win an Oscar.
