Rihanna has remained silent about the details of the attack she allegedly suffered at the hands of cocoa-smooth R&B warbler, Chris Brown, but her silence has not discouraged fan support.

“Rihanna’s been blessed with an outpouring of love- her fans have always been solid,” said Rihanna spokeswoman Casheeda Orlinn. “She’s received everything from boxes of chocolate, to bouquets of flowers, to 50% off coupons for [the local video rental store]. Her fans are thoughtful that way, they are sending her tokens of support that will allow her to enjoy some quiet time at home, a chance for her to recover and regroup free from the public magnifying lens.”

But arguably, the gift that has made the biggest statement is the poem and a custom made, combination Benelli M1 Super 90 Shotgun Umbrella that was left anonymously with the doorman of Rihanna’s New York City penthouse.

The fully functional semi-automatic shotgun, housed in the handle of a purple umbrella (also working) and encrusted with thousands of glittering Swarovsky crystals, is fitted with a 14 karat gold target aperture sight. Included with the gift was a custom silver leather umbrella holster equipped to hold 20 rounds of ammunition.

Protects against Chris Brown and the weather

“There have been other umbrella shotguns on the market, but this weapon is really something quite extraordinary,” said gun collector and fashion designer Farland O’Duefer. “Not only is it a fine specimen of a Super 90, but it is an exquisitely crafted fashion accessory as well.”

The gun was left with a handwritten note in the style of the chorus of Rihanna’s pop hit “Umbrella” and read:

“Keep your head up, girl. We got your back, and so does this new Gunbrella. Next time, sing this:

When the gun shoot
You’ll bleed forever
Now that you’re bleeding more than ever
I don’t want to get chunks in my hair
Open my ‘brella stick it up into the air
And it sure keeps blood away like weather
Know that you’ll never hit another
You got blasted with my gunbrella
You got blasted with my gunbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Blastin’ my gunbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
With my gunbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
With my gunbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)”

Orlinn says that Rihanna, although touched by the sentiment behind the gift, is not yet prepared to sport the violent accessory, at least not in public. “Safety remains a top priority with Rihanna, but she’s not quite comfortable with flaunting a weapon this obvious. She might be interested in traveling with a smaller umbrella weapon, though, perhaps a poison dart gun fitted in a paper drink umbrella. She loves the idea of self-defense items that have been inspired by her music and is now considering working with a weapons artisan to design a product line that revolves around her music.”

Possible themed weapons include a knife with a breakaway blade inspired by the song “Break It Off” and a bullwhip inspired by the not-yet-released single “Slap Leather.”
