Rihanna has that kind of sex appeal that penetrates the skull and lingers in your brain. Her face can be innocent at times or radiate sensuality at others. From her risque tattoos to her daring ensembles, Ri Ri is just a pleasure to watch and for some, fantasize about. Complex Magazine released seven covers with the “Diamonds” superstar gracing each of them. Each cover is a remixed version of the album art from her seven different albums. Aside from the fabulous photos, Ri Ri spoke out about the making of her latest project “Unapologetic” and why “Diamonds” was exactly what she needed!

On “Unapologetic”

“When I was making this record I had no intention except the truth,” she says. “So whatever is there is real. It’s raw. That’s why the album is called Unapologetic.”

“I held back before. I didn’t show a lot of myself. I was very guarded,” she says. “I needed to be open and free and fearless. Basically say, ‘Fuck it.’ What’s the worst that can happen? They’ll hate me? They’ve done that before.”

On her single “Diamonds”

“It was so inspiring and uplifting,” she says. “It was giving me hope, that song. I was tired of angry love songs. Love doesn’t always have to be about breakups, and ‘We’re never going to be together again.’ It could be sweet. It could be, ‘Hell yeah! We’re diamonds!’
