The baddest B in hip-hop is making a stop at Macy’s in Downtown Brooklyn on Monday, Aug. 31 — and she wants you to meet her there.

“Im coming to #BROOKLYN @Macys on August 31st!” Rihanna tweeted late Thursday afternoon. “Come try out my new @PerfumesbyRiRi fragrance #RiRi.”

Fans immediately starting freaking out in response tweets. When? Where? How? Why?

Lucky for Rihanna’s Navy, a social-media intern for Macy’s was on hand to link them all to the official event description.

In it, we discover there’s a catch: In order to meet Rihanna, one must be among the first 400 customers to purchase the singer’s new $116 purfume set, beginning at 10 a.m. on the morning of Friday, Aug. 28.

Full details below.

Beginning Friday, August 28th at store opening, be one of the first 400 customers to purchase our exclusive RiRi 3-piece set for $116.00 and receive a VIP pass to meet Rihanna and have your photo taken with her on Monday, August 31st!*

*Event subject to change or cancellation. While supplies last. While time permits. Purchases must be made at Macy’s Downtown Brooklyn between 8/28/15-8/31/15. Limited to the first 400 customers. No personal memorabilia for signing. No personal photos or cameras. One pass per person, per receipt. Customers under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

So if $116 and a Friday of elbowing past Rihanna diehards for one of 400 golden tickets is worth a selfie with the queen, Godspeed.

Alternatively, if you’ve never heard of Rihanna and the thought of spending $116 on three little pink jars of nice-smelling pesticides seems a rather preposterous one, perhaps take care to avoid the general vicinity of the Downtown Brooklyn Macy’s between now and Monday evening.
