New York, Nov 9 : Rihanna refused a 10,000-dollar bottle of Champagne sent over to her by an American footballer during a night-out in LA, because she didn’t know who he was.

The Umbrella singer was partying at the exclusive Vegas, The Bank at Wonderland, when Jets receiver Braylon Edwards, who was also at the nightspot with his pals, sent her the Champagne.

However, Rihanna refused to take the bottle.

"She didn''t know who they were, so she sent it back," the New York Post quoted a partygoer, as saying.

According to Edwards'' rep, the footballer didn’t take long to introduce himself to the crooner and thereafter they chatted politely. (ANI)
