Rihanna urges 'Navy' to aid Philippines; US Navy responds [corrected]

Singer Rihanna tweeted earlier about aid to the Philippines, and specifically called out the “Navy”:

Millions of children in the #Philippines need our help. I’m there. NAVY, are you? http://t.co/jGobMj9pLm #ThereAfterHaiyan @UNICEF

The U.S. Navy responded to Rihanna’s tweet:

@rihanna Yes, we're there helping the people of the #Philippines with ongoing relief efforts. http://t.co/YoQkiqgVB0 #USNavy

— U.S. Navy (@USNavy) November 26, 2013

Editor’s note: The title has been corrected to fix a spelling error and to clarify that Rihanna did not specify “U.S.” Navy in her tweet and was likely referring to a group of fans called “Rihanna’s Navy.” Tweets that took Rihanna’s tweet out of that context have been removed. Twitchy apologizes for the contextual error.
