Is Rihanna digging into her box of tried and tested tricks?
Per a new report, the model may be set to revive her kinky ‘S&M’ look in a bid to resuscitate her troubled ‘ANTI’ album campaign.
More on Rih’s racy play after the jump…
Via TMZ:
Rihanna had a fetish store working OT this weekend when she put in a rush order for some pricey custom-made latex.
A rep for The Stockroom, a popular BDSM store in Silverlake, CA, tells TMZ, Rih Rih’s stylist reached out over the weekend for product that had to be churned out in 48 hours.
The $2,000 plus order was for custom latex catsuits to outfit the “S&M” singer for a music video she’s shooting Monday and Tuesday in L.A. We’re told the stylist requested full-body black and dark navy catsuits created by Syren Couture latex, a high-end latex company.Since the order was for some out there fetish gear … Rihanna had to fork over some VERY personal measurements such as ‘nipple to nipple,’ ‘shoulder top to top nipple,’ ‘crotch,’ etc.
When all else fails, “shock and awe” seems to be the only route.
The only issue here is that, at this point, we’ve seen all there is so see of Rihanna (and we mean that literally). As such, there’s little left to be shocked or in awe about.
Needless to say, this should be filed under “that awkward moment when you realize you should have taken vocal and dance classes seriously.”
‘ANTI’ arrives….your guess is as good as ours.

Poor girl she’s so lost.
1. Lack of respect for live performances
2. Poor live singing
3. Drugged out live performances
4. Drug usage on Instagram and setting a horrible role
model for girls of color
5. Nasty tatts all over her hands
6. Her brand is tarnished
7. Late showing up to concert performances
Her poor excuse for dedication and respect for her fans and performances has caught up with her.
FLOP ERA
Again.. Selling s** is her only talent
B6 and 25 are all people care about at the moment sorry rih you missed your chance but then again its fun seeing you struggle ki
Lmao I don’t care, that made me laugh!
People care about 25. Never read anything bout b6
It’s been rumors everywhere about B6 stop lying so far they confirmed she’s worked with deputy, future, details, boots even hinted they did a “haunted” 2.0, & MikeWillMadeit confirmed new music as well as Bone Thugs
Taylor Swift sold out a S** STORE for the wardrobe of her Bad Blood video. Latex can be used for many things creatively. Too much reaching TGJ…
I’m confused. Rita’s album is pushed back further and further and its highly anticipated and Rihanna’s is serially delayed.
Rihanna’s songs are called a flop although they did reasonably in the uk and us, Rita’s songs faired well in the uk and not so well in the us and its not a problem.
I’m no fan of Rihanna but this type of journalism is pants.
It’s not journalism. Simply, it’s just professional sh*t talking.
I hope not. I hated the video for S&M.
Rihanna you already did this when you stole David Lachapelles iconic shoot, VERBATUM, for your s&m video. Girl you’re so lost
Do you have the script or insider info for the video?
Lmao you would think…
If she’s really taking this route AGAIN, then its pretty obvious she’s really confused about the direction of this ‘project’. Desperation at its finest, like we haven’t seen ALL of rih already… *sigh*
And her team; a bunch of yes men… smh!
As long as it’s not like S&M I’m good tbh
I’m a Beyonce fan all day and secretly wished Riri would fall hard on her face,but now that it’s happening I realize Rih does have a place in music,I can’t deny that her music is really good, I hope her team regroups and do their jobs properl. If only these Stan wars ,unnecessary hate and dragging would stop, many of our black sisters in music would be winning like the Adeles and Taylor swifts
What’s good about Rihanna’s music? It’s corny and vapid. Sounds like something a live action Bratz doll would walk down the street to. Everything about Rihanna and her music screams high school lunch table. It’s juvenile and so is she. I remember when 20-somethings were ADULTS and behaved as such. Why does she think it’s cute to act like she’s still 17?
so corny and she has how many more #1’s than your favorite
Lol she has not fallen off tho… But with the rest I agree.
She’s such a circus clown at this point. I’m sorry, but Rihanna looks totally stupid.
Ooop! TGJ ain’t lying tho. Riri should have been taking them Dance and Singing classes seriously. Gurl I’ll pray ANTi sees a release date before 2020.
Why Sam be dragging Rih like that ? lmao I can’t take
Well, “professional journalism” was never this site’s strong or selling point so the constant and continuous degrading and demeaning of particular artists, whilst favoritism is ignorantly shown toward others, is not surprising.
This is nothing more than your inadequate, low-budget ‘gossip’ blog based on mainstream urban music headed by a salty, British-Nigerian F***, and that is all it will ever be – people come here more for the ‘stan wars’ and ‘comments’ more than anything else so I’m not MAD at all. 😉
ANYWAY HUNTY… Do your thing Riri; I can’t wait for the new when it finally arrives and I wouldn’t care if it took another YEAR for that to happen. I also can’t wait for “25” and “B6”. CIAO. 😉
The best comment I’ve read on this site. They’re very bias, unprofessional, and wack. They’re post are for kids and teenagers. You say you’re tired of seeing Rihanna,but everyday theirs a post about her. Stop with this album crappie already, in the past 10 year’s she has released
Sorry, the whole message didn’t send.

You say you’re tired of seeing Rihanna,but everyday theirs a post about her. Stop with this album crap already, in the past 10 year’s she has released more albums then any other female artist, not to mention all of them were certified platinum or multi platinum, besides her debut, which was gold. She’ll put out a release date when the album is ready. Until then, it’s not delayed! Take your advice and take some journalism classes while she’s taking her “vocal/dance” lessons.
Yep! That’s timeless for sure.
If u do it Ri, b**** u better COME THRU AND STEAL MY EDGES! I too hated the S&M video, but that song is still the song that made muah Navy.
Whaaaaa! I’m surprised. S&M was my favorite video in the LOUD era outside of Man Down. From the massive, red hair to the to the pink dominatrix outfit, the video was everything to me
I only like the Perez Hilton part. Everything else waz a try hard. The Man Down video on the other hand remains my favorite Rihanna video to date! It is EVERYTHING!
The mandown video is everything! I love when she acts in her videos where it tells a story. Her smiles in the beginning were infectious. The video showed how easy it is to take ones’ innocence.
Queen of creativity ,that’s why she is so successful ….always reinventing herself ,trying out new things everyday unlike the stale ass popping weave flying fat redundant ugly stealing cow called …my guess is as good as yours
Girl pull it together and give us a cute bop!!!!
This era of her’s has been real messy and somewhat sloppy.
I don’t wish failure on her because I feel she has a place in music. I just need her to get it together.
As a Rih fan, you’re absolutely right, and I appreciated what you said. We both need her to get it together
We have to keep Beyonce and Rihanna both at the top. I’m. No racist but you best believe the whites are going to keep adele and Taylor at the top, and not compare them either.
I support both of them !!!!!!
Exactly I mean Bey and Rih are the biggest black females in pop culture today lets just learn to embrace and celebrate them without tearing each other apart
@Richie_Richie and @ShutUp You both are exactly right! We have to continue to support are black superstars. I get so tired of listening to Taylor, Selena GoHome, Demi, Ellie, and every other pop tart who STEALS from Bey and Rih receive so much shine. We need them both to succeed
@RICHIE RICH
From a ‘Bey Fan’, that was really nice.
I’m a Rih. fan and I am ONE of the few who like and adore Beyonce and I would never wish her the same.
I wish some other fans would OR could follow suit.
Rihanna has all her ducks in a row and will release the album accordingly. Why is everyone so impatient? Why do people think she’s in trouble? REALLY? She’s still fierce in the game and her TRUE fans know nothing is lost but lots to gain. #ANTIwillcomeoutwhenreadybitches
The only albums I cant wait to get are
1.XTINA
2.TINASHE
3.IGGY
4.ADELE
Rhifund seems to be lost muscially her era is a big ass mess!
#TIMELESS
@Ricky Amm where have you been this is a complete MESS.
What happened to her “Ray of Light” moment, Lovebird/Shakira Stan?????
She wasted tooooo much time with this album and now she’s rushing to finish it. Get it together gurlll
I love the “S&M” music video and I’m still confused as to why it’s not Very-certified. Anyway, I always have to give a sister to anyone that says the song only went to #1 because of the remix with Britney. Ooh, that’s a laugh indeed! I’m just getting more sceptical on whether the album will even be released this month, but I hope the rumor that the track list will be composed of 26 songs bus true. It would be a great way to say, “Thanks for the wait!” Plus, she’s sure to get another #1 with all of those songs. I don’t want to say Kanye is the real reason whybthe album is still not released because ges working on other projects, but I dont know why Rih doesn’t’t want to work with any other producers this era. It makes no sense. But I’m CERTAIN those first week sales will be CRAZY HIGH because of how long the whole world has been waiting…and NOTHING has been leaked!. She’ll sell a million worldwide in the first week. She’s on track for it.
S&M is not VEVO certified because there’s a child restriction on it. Where did you read about 26 songs? That would be crazy! Also, Kanye believes in perfection. He believes that an artist should take as much time as possible for the creative process which is why his own album SWISH is even more delayed. Rih could definitely do some crazy first week numbers ONLY IF the rollout is enough to make non-fans want to buy
I read about the rumors on somewhere I forgot, but I’m certain she won’t do a double album. Her father is the one who gave an interview to The Sun and he said that she’s struggling with picking the BEST 26 songs to put on the tracklist. But ONLY REAL RIH STANS KNOW we cannot trust ANYTHING that abusive drunkard says about his daughter, even though he only gives like one interview per year to a no name magazine. Plus, their relationship has been flawed for years and she doesn’t even talk to him. I’m curious about how you’d like for her to roll-out the project. What did you have in mind?
Ronald gave an interview with the ‘Sun’ and was quoted as saying, “Robyn is not happy with the album. She’s not comfortable with it.” He also supposedly said Rihanna “doesn’t know which of the 26 songs to use” for ‘ANTI’. So it sounds like she has 26 songs recorded now versus the 10 or so Ne-Yo talked about earlier this year.
Personally, I’d LOVE to see her do a double-disc album. Kinda like her own spin on ‘I Am…Sasha Fierce’. I mean, the album *IS* called ‘ANTI’ after all. And it just makes even more sense to me since her output (singles and teases) have been very different from one another. So why not find two distinct threads (of a common theme) that run throughout her songs and divide/assign them accordingly to a disc where each disc represents the “antithesis” of the other??? It would be BRILLIANT! A whole lot of people loved her song, “Half of Me”. So why can’t Rihanna give her fans BOTH sides of her this time around (musically speaking)? Rihanna has grown up, become a kick-b*** business woman, kissed some frogs, learned some lessons, had a lot of experiences, and now she has a different outlook on life. She’s also focused on the next half of her career at this point since she’s said with ‘ANTI’ she’s thinking of songs that have meaning to her that she could do in the next 15 years. Seems to me Rih liked the success of ‘Stay’ a whole lot more than “We Found Love” which is probably why she tinkered with it live and slowed it down. So from that “I” get less “S&M” and more relationship oriented songs. So I’m not buying the “S&M” reference here.
And when Rihanna said, “I try to battle myself and outdo everything I’ve done and that’s been the hardest thing to do. You start overthinking things at times.”, this right here is the MAIN reason ‘ANTI’ is taking so long. She’s the head of her own label now and ‘ANTI’ is coming out on that. I think her overthinking/perfectionism on this project (her BIGGEST one yet) is causing her to shut down and question herself.
I’m just as lost as Rih. Come thru b*tch.
I agree we definetly need to keep Rih & Bey up there with Taylor & Adele they are our only hope to give these white chicks a run for their money. I just hope Rihanna gets it together I love bey more but I adore Rihanna’s music as well. She’s to hurry & release ANTi I know it’s going to be some dope songs on there & I’m so ready for B6
S’n’M RihBoot? gosh. and… well… who doesn’t like latex?!? lol who she’ll get there. whatthefreak

I don’t give a s**t about your dirty stuff girl, what about the music?! It’s time…
So old and boring. And by old and boring I mean the writing on this blog. I still don’t know what a B6 is, but the pest need to come up with their own ish.
