What did she have to say about working with Rihanna?

Comedian Luenell shares about her love for stand-up and being a lingerie model

She’s known for in-your-face comedy that she’s been performing on stages across America for years. You’ve also seen her in TV shows and in movies. Now, Luenell is heading to Detroit for one night of comedy. Live In The D host Tati Amare caught up with the comedian to talk about her stand-up and working with Rihanna.

Luenell says stand-up comedy is her first love, adding that the love she gets from audiences is, “overwhelming and like nothing you can get form anywhere else.” She also says she likes the fact that when she’s on stage she gets to talk about her opinion on things and there’s no discussion about it.

Luenell has also been a spokesperson and model for Rihanna’s Savage x Fenty lingerie line. She says it all happened after meeting with Rihanna. She had asked if Rihanna made her lingerie in larger sizes and how could she be a model. As Luenell put it she was, “just talking our of the side of my neck.” But, Rihanna liked the idea and wrote up a contract to have Luenell be a body-positive spokesperson for Savage x Fenty. Luenell says she loved working with Rihanna.

There is also a new Christmas movie that will be coming out that Luenell is a part of. To hear more about that, and when you can see her this week in Detroit, watch the video above.
