RiRi also got some love from host Jerrod Carmichael, who poked fun at her long-awaited album: "Rihanna, you take all the time you want on that album, girl. Don't let these fools on the internet pressure you into nothing."

Rihanna took the joke in stride with a knowing giggle.

Niecy Nash-Betts also couldn’t resist using her time on the stage as a presenter to send a message to RiRi: “Rihanna, I love you and I dressed up as you for Halloween. I just had to say that.”
