#Freethenipple takes centre stage in Rih's long overdue, violent, Hannibal-inspired emvee from R8.

Chameleon Queen Rihanna has once again changed up her image in anticipation of her upcoming 8th LP, and this time she's gangsta like never before, hard and rugged yet still keeping it feminine. Okay let's get to the story. If you've thought that Rihanna was ranting about another woman owing her money all along, well you've thought wrong. The truth is, the “bitch” who owes her money is actually a man, played by none other than Mads Mikkelsen of psycho-thriller Hannibal-fame.

The video opens with a pair of woman's legs peeking out of a huge trunk before cutting to Canadian actress Rachel Roberts getting ready to go out. It's not long before she is kidnapped by Rihanna and her femthug posse who bring her on a severe, forced trip across the country – to a desert bonfire, a tour on a large boat with blow-up pools and a drug/booze-fueled motel party.

The other Roberts on BBHMM is Eric Roberts, who plays an unsuspecting cop in the vicinity. But Riri and her team manage to evade any suspicion each time by resorting to extreme measures at the expense of the kidnapped lady. As the story progresses we discover that the “bitch”, aka Rih's accountant, has actually swindeled her out her money and spent it on all-out debauchery, prompting bad bitch Rihanna to take matters into her own hands.


The bloody finale of the cinematic emvee reveals that the earlier pair of legs actually belong to Rihanna herself and this bitch finally has her money. What happens to the sorry accountant? Watch it to find out.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars.
