A TikTok user who's a doppelgänger for Rihanna went viral over the weekend, and the real-life singer even commented on the uncanny resemblance.

User Priscila Beatrice (@poliakov71) posted a video of herself on Saturday dancing to "Back Up" by Dej Loaf in front of a 2019 picture of Rihanna. In the video, Beatrice dances with her back to the camera before turning around and revealing just how much she resembles the "Umbrella" singer.

Multiple outlets took notice of the video, and The Shade Room even reshared the clip on their Instagram page, with the caption, "sis look like #Rihanna to y'all?"

Most of The Shade Room's followers were in agreement that Beatrice was a total doppelgänger for Rihanna — including Rihanna herself.

The fashion and beauty mogul hilariously trolled Beatrice in the comments of the post, asking, "where the album sis? #R9."

Rihanna's comment was in reference to the numerous inquiries about her upcoming album that she regularly receives from eager fans.

In recent months, fans have criticized her for seemingly focusing more on her fashion and makeup lines instead of releasing new music. While Rihanna launched a luxury fashion label and published a visual autobiography in 2019, in addition to continuing work on her lingerie and makeup lines, fans have been vocal about wanting new music — leaving comments like "We want the album sis" on her posts.

But Rihanna has remained coy about the album's release, joking in December that she had recorded "R9" but was "refusing to release it."

And although the beauty mogul originally said we could expect its release in 2019, she hasn't offered any updates since the year ended.

Rihanna was featured on the 10th track of PARTYNEXTDOOR's March 2020 album, "Partymobile," singing the hook of "Believe It." Her verse consisted of exactly two lines, and caused fans to joke about how grateful they were for Rihanna's "crumbs."
