Rihanna says naked pics online are from 'when I was skinny'

New York, Feb 3 (ANI): Rihanna has admitted that the nude pictures leaked over the Internet are hers.

According to the New York Daily News, the diva revealed on Twitter that it was indeed she when a fan sent her a tweet that linked to one of the pictures and asked, "what is this?"
