Even though Ghost frontman Papa Emeritus III is dead, with the group revealing Cardinal Copia is the new leader, it looks like not everyone is ready to say goodbye. The band noticed actress/singer Rihanna’s fashion attire at last night’s Met Gala and despite the public eye adoring her pope-like gown, the group distinguished i’ts darker essence. Ghost posted on their social media how flattered they are on Rihanna’s Papa Emeritus III imitation. Let’s be honest, this isn’t the first time the singer shared subliminal hints that she could be a metalhead.

 

[MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY] We wish to inform you imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thank you, @badgalriri. #metgala2018 #metgala
