    Rihanna congratulated Adele on her new addition in a unique way - with some new underwear

    Rihanna has made no secret of her admiration for Adele, earlier this year she admitted to being a ‘big fan’ and that she ‘loved her’, so following the birth of Adele’s baby boy, the Bajan beauty decided to express her congratulations, but in a unique way.

    ADELE TARGETED BY INTERNET TROLLS

    While other celebrity friends including Jessie J sent more traditional gifts, Rihanna wanted to treat the new mum as well as the baby and sent Adele some lingerie.

    The Sun reports it was of the ‘saucy' variety and arrived with a note reading: ‘You gotta stay sexy yummy mummy. Enjoy yourself. Congrats!!! [sic]’
