Rihanna strips down to skimpy lingerie for a sexy GQ magazine photo shoot to promote her upcoming album. In an in-depth interview, Rihanna denies the much-publicized scrap between ex-boyfriend Chris Brown and rapper Drake was over her.
“There’s no proof of that being for my love.”
On being a multi-million dollar enterprise:
RIHANNA: “Sometimes a person looks at me and sees dollars. They see numbers and they see a product. I look at me and see art. If I didn’t like what I was doing, then I would say I was committing slavery.”
On striking a delicate balance between her deeply religious upbringing and being a sex symbol:
“That comes from my culture. That’s just the way it’s always been, and I think that for people, especially in America, they make it like the forbidden fruit, but that only makes kids more curious. I was a lot more naive about the way I moved and the way I was being perceived. The more you hear people talk about ‘Oh, you’re a sex symbol,’ it just makes you think, ‘Why are you saying that?’ And I figured it out.”
On what turns her on:
“I like to feel like a woman. I have to be in control in every other aspect of my life, so I feel like in a relationship, like I wanted to be able to take a step back and have somebody else take the lead… I could absolutely be dominant… But, in general, I’d rather… How do I say this in like a… non-X-rated version? Love makes you go places you probably wouldn’t ever go, had it not been for love. But I think everybody still has their limits.”
