The English ree-AN-ə pronunciation of Rihanna is likely influenced by the name Rhianna, and English variant of the Welsh name Rhiannon (pronounced in English as ree-AN-ən, but in Welsh as hri-AN-awn).
This name is mostly pronounced in English as ree-AN-ə, and then much less often as rie-HA-nah, as the entry currently states. There's confirmation from Rihanna herself in this video, minute 2:01: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJP6q7XzLrQ.This should be corrected in the entry. (Thank you). [noted -ed]
