Remember a few years ago when Joel Embiid took to social media to try and woo Rihanna?
A quick refresher:

Shortly after those tweets, Embiid said that a “famous” woman told him to come back when he was an All-Star. He never confirmed it was Rihanna, but that was left for us to assume.
Well, on Thursday, Embiid was officially named an All-Star. After the Sixers beat the Celtics, he was asked about a potential date with Rihanna. In true Embiid form, he gave a memorable answer:
“She denied me back then, so why go with her again? I might have to pass that and move on to the next one… Trust the Process.”@JoelEmbiid has a special message for @rihanna… 😳

You heard that right. Embiid had the unique opportunity to deny Rihanna on national TV.
Trust the process, folks. This is where it can lead you.
