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
When does it drop ?
It will drop when your faves have a hit record and top grossing tour and sell out a stadium in 57 minutes
Or when ur fave pays her p**** bill to Travis and Kanye ????????
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.
Beautiful pictures.
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”.
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.
Your immune system has turned against you sweetheart…. #DIET
She is slaying these pics……????????????????????????
This biitch is taking to long on the album
Great at what???
Perhaps, being the black Madonna?
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.
Hahahahahahaha..
trannyonces eyes are TOO big
nose is is too flat, nostrils are horse shaped
those huge ass gums make hubba bubba jealous
weight that makes ursala look like her mother
ugly t*****..ugly t***** indeed.
Bítch Beyoncé slays this e.t. looking w*****..
Cute pics sis
Another magazine cover with no music. I’m sure it’ll be another low selling edition like her Vogue cover kii
It will sell more than fantasy ride, basic instict , ciara and jackie combined
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
Gurl bye the media already established that Rihanna sells magazines bew that 1 vouge cover sold low but since then she has bounced back
#noRIHleasedate 🙁
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.
You spelled 25 wrong.
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.
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
HER ALBUM WON’T FLOP!! TO MANY PEOPLE ARE WAITING IT’S RELEASE AND SO ARE YOU.
I’m just waiting to hear the new timeless sound and the sales…???????? I wanna know what took three years to complete.????
Great at still outselling your fave at half the cost and at half the theatrics ???????????? anymore questions?
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Android how dare I forget the Baphomet eyebrows… rihgoat is all types of Satan. ANTI-300k will be the biggest flop since artpop.
She’s so afraid to drop that album lol
I normally like her magazine covers but this is basic….Um still anticipating that album.
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
They want her to get plastic surgery like Beyonce did on EVERY PART OF HER BODY
Can we get some recipients with those accusations please!
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.
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.
#B**** DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
Here is the article that goes with the pics she talks about doing business deal as a black woman in the game

she is so purday <3
she looks amazing… Wow! Some people up in here hating on a magazine cover, save your hate for when the album drops, you gonna need it to not jump off those stools
DAT REIGN AIN’T EVA LETTING UP! THE WHOLE WORLD IS WAITING ON HER ALBUM! MUSIC IS BORING WITHOUT EMPRESS RIHANNA!
GERMAN NAVY, FRENCH NAVY, CHINESE NAVY, KOREAN NAVY, US NAVY, UK NAVY, BRAZILIAN NAVY, ITALIAN NAVY CANADIAN NAVY MEXICAN NAVY, AUSTRALIAN NAVY IS WAITING FOR ANTI!!
Countdown to ANTI is coming!! WIGS WILL BE SNATCHED! EDGES will be blown away
Rihanna is the face of our generation
PERIOD!!!! Not even those wig flips can stop this chick.
This girl is lucky she’s pretty she wouldn’t be ish without looks lets be real navy
ICONICANNA!
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
Whats beytrannys excuse for 4…bwhahaha
same old spice. why’d i bite? not much better pics in the bait. stale af dip yo.
Navy talking real tough, let’s hope your girl manages to finally sell over 300,000 first week. With all this promo, she better.
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.
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
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
Ready for ANTi to drop already !!! I hope it drops this month , if not she’s playing games lol
To the fattest bish online @diabetes
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.
Slay miss Fenty.
Sam is one dumb fa9.
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
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
Cute sis
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.
Lmao!! Lets hope this model can scan 300k+ because if not… It will be a field day ????
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
