One woman who was constantly being mistaken for pop star Rihanna has decided to make a career of it. Andele Lara has benefited greatly due to the striking resemblance to the "Stay" singer: She has gotten into clubs for free, had drinks paid for and even scored some apparel contracts.

Rihanna had achieved mid-level fame by then with her first two albums, 2005's "Music of the Sun" and 2006's "A Girl Like Me." Once the singer dropped "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Umbrella" blew up, people really began to notice the similarities.

People began approaching me in the street asking if I was her and I would see photos of myself going viral on social media." Lara has yet to meet Rih, but she hopes to one day take a selfie with the celebrity, she told the "Mail." -
