The picture, which she posted to her Facebook page with the caption "Yes Lebron!!" is a nod to the art for her single "Bow Down." The song drew a lot of criticism; many thought the song was misogynistic, thanks to her use of the b-word, and Rihanna even gave a little jab over it.

Both pictures feature the two as kids with "bow down" superimposed on them in the same font. It's the perfect way to say "Hey, look at this — we're both freaking awesome."
