RIHANNA loves hanging out with her girlfriends — because they are often mistaken for her!

The Rude Boy hitmaker is lucky because her group of gal pals often deflect attention from the superstar so she can sneak away from fans and paparazzi unnoticed.

“Often we get noticed by an older person and they don’t know who I am,” said Rihanna “For example, I will be with a bunch of my girls, and someone will tell them ‘Look there’s Rihanna over there’ then this person will just run over and my best friend will pretend to be me.

“They will run up to my best friend and say ‘Can I have your autograph?’ So she pretends to be me. It’s great.”

Rihanna, 22, recently revealed how she watched her dad take drugs — and it made her swear off illegal substances for life.

“I just remember that made me know it was wrong,” she said.

“It ruined my parents’ marriage. “My mom was like, ‘You’re either going to kick that drug habit and see your kids, or you’re not going to see your kids at all’.”
