Rihanna is asked to walk through Miami airport security scanner FIVE times then is forced to take off her boots

You would think someone as VIP as Rihanna would be able to effortlessly navigate her way through the airport.

But it appears that isn't necessarily the case.

MailOnline has obtained exclusive video of the 26-year-old star having trouble going through airport security as she took a flight out of Miami on Thursday.

It may not have helped that she was carrying a clutch with handguns printed on it.

She arrived for the flight a bit too blinged out as the singer, born Robyn Fenty, struggled as she had to remove articles of jewellery and clothing piece-by-piece until the metal detector stopped beeping.

As she was forced to take off more and more of her belongings, the singer seemed to become increasingly upset until she finally tossed one of her black leather boots to the ground.

Perhaps it was a steel toe on her choice of footwear that caused the problem as she was able to get through shortly after removing the shoes.
