R&B star Rihanna has been granted restraining order against an obsessed fan, who broke into her neighbour's home because he mistook it to be her property, last week.
	The 25-year-old 'Stay' singer, who is currently rehearsing for her upcoming tour, secured legal protection against Steveland Barrow, who was arrested after breaking into her neighbour's home, reported TMZ online.
