Rihanna also talked about her involvement in the Haiti telethon where she performed "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)" from London with music legends Bono and Jay-Z.
"We had just recorded it a couple of days before," Rihanna told Carson.
She said it was her first time meeting and working with U2's renowned frontman.
"It was awesome. Bono is amazing."
"You meet people like Bono and Jay-Z, Madonna...they're very down to earth," Rihanna added. "These are people you look up to and you have no idea what they're really made of. Then when you meet them they are just normal people "
