Peppa Pig has always been a pop girly, but she’s making her porcine-pop-star status official with a brand-new Rihanna cover and album.
On Friday (Jan. 30), Billboard Family is exclusively premiering Peppa’s music video for her new cover of Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” as her Peppa Pig Pop album arrives on all platforms.
The baby-pink star of the long-running British children’s series Peppa Pig gives an upbeat update to Rihanna’s uplifting hit, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in 2012. She also swaps out some lyrics, turning the shiny song into an ode to friendship as opposed to the romantic original. (Sample: “I knew that we’d become one right away” becomes “I knew that we’d end as friends right away.”)
Watch the Billboard Family-exclusive music video for “Diamonds (Peppa’s Version)” below:
We know from a previous A$AP Rocky interview that Peppa Pig is definitely playing in his and Rihanna’s house, with the rapper telling Dazed in 2022 after welcoming their first child RZA: “I will always remind my children to never lose their imagination, even as adults, no matter what. I actually love to watch cartoons,” he said, listing Peppa as well as Teletubbies, Blue’s Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba and Baby Shark. In addition to RZA, the superstar couple welcomed son Riot in 2023 and daughter Rocki last year.
“Diamonds (Peppa’s Version)” arrives on streaming services as part of Peppa Pig Pop, a four-song album that also includes previously released Peppa covers of BTS’ “Dynamite,” Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger” and Katy Perry’s “Roar.”

Last month, Peppa made more musical headlines when she joined forces with fellow preschool powerhouse “Baby Shark” to create a dance remix of the mega-viral original song and video.
