At at the time of posting this news, the Barbadian singer has

according to Starcount, a data aggregator that measures social-media
popularity.
Slim Shady reigned as king of the social network since surpassing
Lady Gagaand Michael Jackson last February. MJ had previously been the
most popular celeb since his death in 2009.
Rihanna’s social popularity has surged in recent years; she dethroned
Lady Gaga as the top female celeb on Facebook last July. And what makes
this recent statistics truly phenomenal is the fact that less than two
years ago, Rihanna was five million less fans than Eminem, but that gap
quickly closed — likely thanks to Facebook’s recent purge of fake
likes, Starcount says.
The singer also dominates other social networks, including
YouTube,where she sits in second spot after Justin Bieber,and
Twitter,where she is fourth behind Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Katy
Perry.
Starcount ranks Rihanna as the third most popular social media star
in the world after Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber, but adds that based on
current trends, “We may soon be celebrating a new queen of social
media.”
