Rihanna Covers NYT Style Magazine / Named One Of “The Greats”

Published: Monday 12th Oct 2015 by Sam

With new album ‘ANTI’ finally announced, the Rihanna promo machine has cranked into overdrive. And it seems the reaching has too.

The New York Times Style Magazine is the model’s latest cover and brings with it an interesting assertion.

The publication christens the 27-year old as one of “the greats.”

Of course the term is open to interpretation, but we’re left wondering what exactly she is great at? Certainly not singing. Or dancing. Or much else.

But, ay, confusion pretty much defines Rihanna’s career, so there’s nothing new there.

Peep more pics below…

    She’s slaying these pics

    I thought they said she wasn’t respected? Just a model with a mic eh? Kiii

    Slay the naysayers Rih. I have the haters on s****** watch until #anti drops..including Sam

    • Faf October 12, 2015

      When does it drop ?

      • RIHANNA>beyonce October 12, 2015

        It will drop when your faves have a hit record and top grossing tour and sell out a stadium in 57 minutes

      • Faf October 12, 2015

        Or when ur fave pays her p**** bill to Travis and Kanye ????????

  2. Carey Like Mariah October 12, 2015

    One of the greats of what? Mediocrity? Smoking? Performing fellatio? Whatever it is, it’s definitely not music.

    Also, Rihanna really does not look cute in these photos. She’s aging horridly. And her tattoos aren’t helping. I really don’t see it for her anymore… She’s gonna flop just like the previous Light-Skinned it-girls of the moment; Amerie, Ashanti, etc.

    Anyway, where is Arianator Barb? Omg he’s so cute.

  3. Stephy. October 12, 2015

    Beautiful pictures.

    • Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans October 12, 2015

      Yes! “The Roof (Back in Time)”! I always wondered why the single artwork has the “(Back in Time)” portion of the title, but the actual album back cover just had it listed as “The Roof”.

  4. DIABETES UNBOTHERED October 12, 2015

    I can’t even hate on these pics. Most models are “ugly” Android rih Android that fivehead is given me all types of model tease. No hate.

    Perhaps, being the black Madonna?

  8. DIABETES UNBOTHERED October 12, 2015

    Eyes too far apart

    Nose as wide as outside

    A forehead to make Tyra jealous

    Lips that would make jayz look like he is the father.

    A true beauty indeed.

    • Lover of music October 12, 2015

  10. #JACKIE October 12, 2015

    Another magazine cover with no music. I’m sure it’ll be another low selling edition like her Vogue cover kii

    • BeyRihLiyah October 12, 2015

      It will sell more than fantasy ride, basic instict , ciara and jackie combined

    • CT October 12, 2015

      Your B Scott teas fav could release ten more albums rihanna never has to release another to remain relevant and cierror could never catch up to rihs record sells. #jackoffhasntreached100kyet

    • RIHANNA>beyonce October 12, 2015

      Gurl bye the media already established that Rihanna sells magazines bew that 1 vouge cover sold low but since then she has bounced back

      • #JACKIE October 12, 2015

        #noRIHleasedate 🙁

  11. CT October 12, 2015

    ANTI is officially the most anticipated album of the year. The fans and haters(undercover fans) can’t wait to get there copy. I hope janet album can hold me over until it’s released.

    • Lover of music October 12, 2015

      You spelled 25 wrong.

  12. Slay_Hive October 12, 2015

    One of the greats? lol The desperation to build her brand and over hype her, this era. Just release the album and let the music speak for itself, already. ???? This is her make or break era. Time to step ya pusssy up and leave the modeling for the amateurs.

    • CT October 12, 2015

      Even if her album flops she will come back stronger cierror has flopped three times in a row and still constantly putting out music. Speaking of overhype that describes your fave last album and any future singles she releases. #iwasinhighschoolwhwnshetoppedthebbhot100

    • RIHANNA>beyonce October 12, 2015

      HER ALBUM WON’T FLOP!! TO MANY PEOPLE ARE WAITING IT’S RELEASE AND SO ARE YOU.

      • Slay_Hive October 12, 2015

        I’m just waiting to hear the new timeless sound and the sales…???????? I wanna know what took three years to complete.????

    • Rihboy October 12, 2015

      Great at still outselling your fave at half the cost and at half the theatrics ???????????? anymore questions?

      • Slay_Hive October 12, 2015

        Selling her out in what? Dollar singles? Because you can’t be talking about albums and touring..???? biitch sit down. I can’t wait to see what Anti-Platinum Plaque will sell. One last question. Where is that album Rihlease date?? ???????????? She betta hurry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. DIABETES UNBOTHERED October 12, 2015

    Android how dare I forget the Baphomet eyebrows… rihgoat is all types of Satan. ANTI-300k will be the biggest flop since artpop.

  14. DA BEYHIVE October 12, 2015

    She’s so afraid to drop that album lol

  15. Lover of music October 12, 2015

    I normally like her magazine covers but this is basic….Um still anticipating that album.

  16. CT October 12, 2015

    Death at BLACK ppl on here attacking a BLACK woman for having prominent BLACK FEATURES. That s**** conditioning is real. And the main person who is doing it looks like a whale in heat. People can’t control there facial features but most people can control there weight. #getittogethereorillgetyoutogether

    • RIHANNA>beyonce October 12, 2015

      They want her to get plastic surgery like Beyonce did on EVERY PART OF HER BODY

      • HailBeysus October 12, 2015

        Can we get some recipients with those accusations please!

      • Pray for the Youth October 12, 2015

        Your response to someone pointing out that people are attacking a black woman is to attack another black woman? The thought process of a child.

    • HailBeysus October 12, 2015

      Preach!!!! I mean seriously I can’t believe people are attacking Rihanna for embracing her natural features. It so tasteless and disrespectful. Everyone that has bad things to say about another women’s features are part of the reason so many young girls of today are insecure about themselves.

    • DIABETES UNBOTHERED October 12, 2015

      #B**** DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • ANTI (hives scared of R8) October 12, 2015

      Rihanna has the facial features a beautiful black woman is suppose to have.The hives are so dumb.Bey’s daughter is a spitting image of Jayz lmaoo.And they act like their fav’s nose isn’t flat and wide.It’s only the hives.

  17. Kee October 12, 2015

    she is so purday <3

  18. blue October 12, 2015

  24. DIABETES UNBOTHERED October 12, 2015

    Top 5 reasons why ANTI will flop:

    5. Flop singles
    4. Flop album cover
    3. Flop album title
    2. No buzz/hype/steam/momentum
    1. Beyonce

    • jdek October 12, 2015

      Whats beytrannys excuse for 4…bwhahaha

  25. ugh okay October 12, 2015

    same old spice. why’d i bite? not much better pics in the bait. stale af dip yo.

  26. Unbiased October 12, 2015

    Navy talking real tough, let’s hope your girl manages to finally sell over 300,000 first week. With all this promo, she better.

    • God Don’t Like Ugly October 12, 2015

      Precisely. It’s like celebrating before you win the war. I don’t think they understand that anticipation is not an accomplishment. That anticipation doesn’t mean anything if it doesn’t translate into SALES. Celebrate sales, not hype. That doesn’t even make sense.

  27. Taylor Tori Azalea October 12, 2015

    Not ya’ll seething over this unknown irrelevent anonymus magazine
    .
    I was about to go berzeck when they said great in the same sentence then realised i’ve never seen or heard of this magazine

  28. Taylor Tori Azalea October 12, 2015

    Now you’re reaching what and how is Beyonce destroying this Era…..
    Please do us a favour and remove that name and place the person who destroys everyone male or female or Janet species
    TAYLOR

      To the fattest bish online @diabetes

  29. RihYonce October 12, 2015

    Ready for ANTi to drop already !!! I hope it drops this month , if not she’s playing games lol

  31. God Don’t Like Ugly October 12, 2015

    I don’t know how Rihanna’s album is going to do or sound. And I get that the navy is hype. But I do recall them screaming from the rooftops how much she was going to slay when she came back from her hiatus. FFS came and went. BBHMM has been forgotten. And when they heard the snippet for AO, they were so excited… but they didn’t buy it. So, I’m not saying anti is going to flop, but what I am saying is that the navy is singing a very familiar song, where they praise their fave on a meaningless blog but aren’t willing to actually put up money.

  32. .::Centurion::. October 12, 2015

    Slay miss Fenty.

  33. Ijustwanna October 12, 2015

    Sam is one dumb fa9.

  34. Ijustwanna October 12, 2015

    This girl may not be the greatest vocalist of all time but she’s already achieved something. She got a strong presence in pop culture. #Respect #Anti #R8

  35. Oscar October 12, 2015

    calling Rihanna the black Madonna is an insult to Madonna… she actually wrote and produced most of her music and can put on a captivating show… she dances better than rih and she’s almost 60

  36. Ciah’s Turtle October 12, 2015

    Cute sis

  37. jdek October 12, 2015

    GIVE IT UP TO THE PRETTIEST WOMAN IN THE GAME , MOST VERSATILE, ICONIC RIHANNNAA!! The hives are truly pressed their fave can’t be a rihanna bwhaha. Nothing about old tiered cellulite bey is exciting. She’s just one big bore…she couldn’t even dream of having a down to earth interview like this.

    • BEY>RIH October 12, 2015

      Lmao!! Lets hope this model can scan 300k+ because if not… It will be a field day ????

      • Jamie October 13, 2015

        But why?.she has scanned 200 million album/single sales in 10 years. 110 million in US sales alone.

        TGJ know this too.why else would explain the passive aggressiveness
