Bad girl Rihanna 'not welcome in Senegal' religious groups say ahead of her visit tomorrow.

They accuse her of being a member of the so-called Illuminati, a conspiracy myth which suggests that a shadowy group of global elites are working to establish a New World Order.

Such claims about Rihanna's beliefs have been roundly dismissed as outlandish by her musical collaborators in the past.

Rihanna will be visiting the West African nation in her role as an ambassador for the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).
