Rihanna Just Gave the Best Interview, But Some Can’t Get Past the Cover Photo

Rihanna just gave fans the next best thing to new music – a revealing magazine interview and photoshoot. RiRi is the cover girl for the Spring 2024 issue of Interview magazine where she talks about everything from how she met her partner A$AP Rocky to what she keeps in her diaper bag. And while fans usually love to soak up every bit of the “Rude Boy” singer they can, this time, some online have a lot to say about her look.

On April 9, the magazine posted the singer’s cover shots on Instagram. The mompreneur is dressed in a nun’s habit with a blouse that is slightly unbuttoned to reveal her cleavage for the magazine cover. But that outfit, along with her makeup – blue eyeshadow and an eye-catching red lip – was just a little too close to inappropriate for some who are not holding back their disappointment.

“I love u riri but this is not okay,” “This is just distasteful, I’m not even Christian or Catholic and I feel like it’s just disrespect and in poor taste,” and “That’s a no go, leave all religions alone,” are just a sampling of the comments left by people who felt Rihanna crossed the line with her look for the Mel Ottenberg-styled shoot.

But those critics who can’t get past the cover are missing out on some interesting photos, like this one:

And there’s also a great all-encompassing interview in which the “Umbrella” artist shares her fantasy plastic surgery procedure, “I want my titties pinned back to my shoulders, right where they used to be. I don’t want implants. I just want a lift,” and how much she loves being a mom, “The only thing that I knew I wanted, or that I could imagine, was motherhood. I didn’t know how it would come, but it is the best part of my journey so far. Everything else was a surprise,” she said.
