Rihanna's top 10 nearest neighbors are almost entirely fellow musicians — nine of the ten share her subcategory of Musicians and Bands, with Jaden Smith (0.97) the sole exception, classified as an Actor. The scores span a narrow band from 0.98 down to 0.96, which is the defining feature of a flat shape: no single neighbor pulls dramatically ahead of the rest.
Drake sits at the top at 0.98, followed closely by Will.i.am (0.98), Cardi B (0.98), Alicia Keys (0.97), and Nicki Minaj (0.97). Kendrick Lamar (0.97) and Mariah Carey (0.97) round out the core musician cluster. The range across all ten is only about 0.02 — from Drake's 0.98 to J. Cole (0.97) and AKON (0.96) at the lower end — confirming that no single neighbor dominates and no clear outlier disrupts the set. The one non-musician in the group, Jaden Smith, sits mid-cluster at 0.97, indistinguishable in score from several of the musicians around him.
What the flat shape reveals here is an audience that maps tightly onto a specific corner of the music landscape — one where the neighbors are nearly interchangeable in audience composition — rather than an audience that bridges distinct communities.
