Joel Embiid continued to try to win the internet once again on Wednesday, and he tried to do so by playing off of his date invitation to singer Rihanna on Tuesday.

In case you need a reminder, Embiid stated on twitter Tuesday afternoon that he has moved on from his obsession with dating Kim Kardashian and would now be pursuing Rihanna. He extended a lovely dinner invite to the pop star at a Philadelphia restaurant.
To follow that up on Wednesday, Embiid photoshopped a picture of Rihanna walking down the street sporting his jersey.
Take a look…

Man, you really have to give this young man props for shooting for the stars. First he tried to get LeBron James to come to Philly, now he’s on twitter putting the moves on both a married Kim Kardashian, and someone like Rihanna, who as we found out during the most recent World Cup may actually hate America.
The funny part about all of this is that with the way that Rihanna has been acting lately, would it surprise anyone if she actually did oblige Embiid’s request at some point just so she could draw more attention to herself?
Probably not, to be honest.
