TIME revealed their annual list of 100 influential people on Thursday with Rihanna and Cardi B among the certified group.
Cardi B's place on the list came with a letter of support from actress Taraji P. Henson who said, "When you are cool with who you are, no one can use it against you."
Rihanna's letter was written by Adele. "Whenever I’ve met her, she’s been the most gracious, loyal and funny goofball of an icon. She glows like when someone’s taken a picture with a flash and you’re dazed for a few minutes after. But it’s also very clear in that glow that she genuinely doesn’t give a fuck; she’s fearless and full of all the right kind of attitude to be everything that she is and will be forever," the U.K. singer said
The TIME 100 list also includes Tiffany Haddish, Issa Rae, Ryan Coogler, Chadwick Boseman, Virgil Abloh and more.
