With a career spearheaded by careful management, hit producers and well publicized aesthetic changes, Rihanna has oft been accused of being everywhere but in the driving seat of her own success.
However, perhaps in a bid to capitalize on her own brand for the first time, she has secured herself publishing credits for 12 songs found on her new LP, ‘Unapologetic’.
Details below…

Sure to secure her a sweet chunk of the album’s publishing, her alleged hand in crafting the album will undoubtedly see her rank highly in many a ‘Forbes’ ‘Rich List’ come next year.
Lists, which oft sees the likes of Beyonce & Lady GaGa dominate by way of finances earned from their songwriting credits. Quite interestingly, the album’s booklet doesn’t seem to concur with the information published on ‘Rihanna Now’, threatening to throw the star’s ‘songwriter’ claims into disrepute.
