From a simple haircut to her eyebrow-raising love life, Rihanna’s every move has been the subject of tabloid fodder since she leaped onto the scene under Jay-Z’s wing at 16-years-old. The songstress faces all the controversy — being single, drugs and Chris Brown — in a candid tell-all for the November issue of Vogue.
On being single:
“I have not been on a date in forever. Like two years. Haven’t gone to the movies, to dinner. Zero. I would love to go on a date. You don’t think that? I’m a woman. A young woman, vibrant, and I love to have fun. And I have too many vaginas around me at this point.”
“Seriously, all I want is a guy to take me out and make me laugh for a good hour and take my ass back home. He doesn’t even have to come up. All I want is a conversation for an hour.”
RIHANNA: ‘WORLD HASN’T LET GO’ OF HER PAST WITH CHRIS BROWN
On rumors she was doing cocaine at Coachella:
“They knew it was marijuana. It was completely clear to them. I just thought it was uncalled for. I don’t do cocaine. I don’t like being associated with anything that’s untrue.”
On the controversial “Birthday Cake” remix with Chris Brown:
“I didn’t think it could be anything detrimental to my career. I was on a tour bus ride between two cities, listening to my album, thinking, Oooh, maybe I should make this into a duet. And I started coming up with a bunch of people, and his name crossed my mind. I thought, We haven’t made a song in so long together…it could be a little shocking.”
On the public’s fascination with her relationship with Brown:
“I don’t know if people will stop soon, but I feel like as soon as they have closure to it, they will. … But they’re not on the inside. They can’t see what I see, unless they’re sitting in my point of view. I guess I’ll learn to accept that.”
On the Brown and Drake nightclub brawl due to supposed “feud” over her:
“I wasn’t even there. It had nothing to do with me”
