'Diamonds' hit-maker, Rihanna, accidentally broke LA Police Commission President Steve Soboroff's mobile phone while trying to take a selfie with him at the Los Angeles Clippers basketball game against Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday, May 9, 2014.
The star was, however, quick to turn the incident around by making a donation to help police cadets from underprivileged backgrounds and bereaved families of officers killed in the line of duty.
Soboroff revealed this when he tweeted: 'BIG @rihanna news: she's donating $25,000 to @LAPoliceFdtn for cadets & families of fallen officers.'
The pair have since met again at another basketball game, and Steve asked Rihanna to sign his damaged phone.
She complied with his request, writing: 'Sorry! I ♥ LAPD. Rihanna.'
The phone is now up for sale on eBay to raise money for the police foundation, and bidding has reached a staggering $10,000. The auction ends on Thursday, May 15, 2014.
