Jay-Z is concerned that fame has gone to Rihanna’s head — so he’s hired a bodyguard to keep an eye on his protege, The National Enquirer has revealed.
The hip-hop heavyweight plucked the Barbados-born beauty from the island in 2004 and “invested his heart and soul into transforming Rihanna into a superstar,” but her behavior in the months since her brutal brawl with ex Chris Brown has concerned Hov so much that he recently assigned one of his bodyguards to look after the 21-year-old.
Before she shot to international infamy with hit singles like “S.O.S.,” “Take A Bow,” and “Umbrella,” fashionista bombshell Rihanna was just Robin Fenty, a carefree teen from the island of Barbados.

Rihanna’s mom is “devastated” at claims that her daughter reunited with abusive former flame Chris Brown at the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan last weekend.
Monica Fenty is furious about their latest meeting. “I’m devastated, but what can I do? Rihanna is her own woman with her own mind and very, very independent,” she told Star. “We love her but can’t stand to see her play Russian roulette with her life.”
She added, “Chris has a bizarre power over her. She still loves him and he knows it. In her eyes, he’s a god. Even after all this time, and even after what he did, it’s not diminished.”
