Rihanna has reportedly decided against moving to East London and is now favouring a more secure, secluded property.
It has long been rumoured that Rihanna is looking for a more permanent place to stay when she visits the UK and wanted to move into a London property when she returns to Britain in the Summer.
The 'We Found Love' star will be in Britain to shoot a fashion TV show with Nicola Roberts and has instructed those close to her to find a highly secure mansion like property for her to invest in.
"Rihanna is coming back to Britain to shoot her Sky Living reality show and has decided to settle down a bit while she's over. Although there may be occasional trips away, she'll be based in London. Rihanna has instructed her team to find a mansion in or around the capital," a source told The Sun.
Adding: "Earlier this year she considered buying a property in east London but now she's looking elsewhere as she's decided the pad will need gates to keep away superfans and photographers."
Meanwhile, it was reported over the weekend that Rihanna's family fear she will end up like Whitney Houston if she does not curb her party antics.
