Last week at an NBA game, she was seated next to 65 year old L.A. Police Commission President Steve Soboroff. So while she attempted to take a selfie with his phone, she mistakenly dropped the phone, cracking the screen. She decided to make up for it by handing over $25,000 to a charity fund for officers. She then shared a friendly Twitter exchange with Steve afterwards, saying:
Sorry I broke your phone @SteveSoboroff 🙂
He then tweeted
BIG @rihanna news: she’s donating $25,000 to @LAPoliceFdtn for cadets & families of fallen officers.
He is also auctioning the phone to raise more money for the good cause, after getting her to autograph it writing: Sorry! I ♥ LAPD. Rihanna.
Steve said:
I asked her to take a selfie with me wearing LAPD wristbands to show support for our officers. Rihanna took the phone from me and wanted to take the selfie herself! While she was taking our selfie, she dropped the phone and the screen cracked!
The phone, which still works despite having a cracked screen, is currently for sale on eBay, with a current top bid of $1,375.
