Rihanna Covers ‘W Magazine’ As Post-Apocalyptic Queen

Published: Tuesday 2nd Aug 2016 by Sam

Rihanna may not be accustomed to slaying stages, but there’s no denying that she knows how to razzle and dazzle in front of a camera.

Such is the case on the cover of W Magazine‘s September issue, where the 28-year-old stuns as a post-apocalyptic queen.

Lensed by Steven Klein, the edgy shoot is the latest of many lined up to promote the diva’s eighth studio album ‘ANTI.’

Slim on sales, the project has managed only 500k in the US since January. On the relative upside, it’s been a streaming force. Though, the differential between those willing to purchase the LP and those content to hit play only as part of a monthly streaming package is both glaring and telling. Especially in an era where her argued contemporaries such as Drake and Beyonce are managing both.

Will this new shoot help make ‘ANTI’s x2 “Platinum” plaque less of a punchline? Who knows.

What is is certain is that a fierce photoshoot awaits after the jump…

    Reach for the stars Sam. He must have been reading the shade torwards his fav and had enough kiii

    • Nahh August 2, 2016

      She ate thissssssssss on a side note sam, every single post doesn’t have to have some kind of shade involved. Let the fan bases do that but I do see your job as a blogger to call out the facts but seriously it doesn’t have to be EVERY SINGLE POST you throw some kind of shade. Just say it’s a nice editorial and go on

    • Baddiebeymyfav August 2, 2016

      Rhigoat is NO APOCALYPTIC QUEEN. She’s the QUEEN OF DEEP THROATING, GEETING GANG BANGED BY MULTIPLE ( her father included), H***** V****, PROSTITUTING….ETC. ???

      This Cover is the biggest try hard I have ever seen! She looks sooo rediculous! Screaming!?????

      • Baddiebeymyfav August 2, 2016

    @Sam Oh the shade!!! I live for it!!! But on the real it’s time to lay off her. Im here for the shade when the Navy try it, but these articles with the shade are so unnecessary. Leave them to Rashad if the Heaux grinds your gears that much. No shade tho.

      • Speak August 2, 2016

  9. Molly #TheMostRelevantBitch August 2, 2016

  22. BEY>RIH August 2, 2016

    Ok rih… I see you!!

  23. #JACKIE August 2, 2016

    She can’t sing for s*** but she can take a picture!

    • Selenator *Buy We Dont Talk Anymore* August 2, 2016

      Rihanna is a better singer than Ciara.

      • #JACKIE August 2, 2016

        And b**** everybody sings better than Selessor. Who the f*** asked you?

      • Selenator *Buy We Dont Talk Anymore* August 2, 2016

        “And b**** everybody sings better than Selessor” – not Ciara lmao! I stan both but Selena is a better singer than Ci. And no one needs to ask anyone boo, its a blog where you are free to comment where ever.

      • #JACKIE August 2, 2016

        Selena’s basic voiced ass couldn’t sing her way out of a cardboard box. Ciaras buttery tone and runs > Selessors monotone humming ANYDAY! Stay pressed.

  24. Jamon August 2, 2016

    Rihanna is winning!! Sam, I don’t remember you posting anything about Ciara’s, Brandy, Rita Ora (who still can’t come out with an album) sales!! No shade to them, by any means. The point is you sound so pressed and bitter!! Did she turn down an interview a few year’s ago, or pull a Mariah and say “she don’t know you”, which I’m sure she doesn’t!! Where is your Favorite on Forbes? Cause she’s in the top 15 with $75 million!! Stay writing cheesy, hating ass blogs for chump change!!

  25. TRUTH SERUM August 2, 2016

    Gorgeous!!!!!!!

  26. Danzou August 2, 2016

    I tell you guys all the time that gay men are the most misogynistic pieces of crap. They’re worse than straight men sometimes. Sam is a prime example. This is beyond not being a fan of hers. This is simple disrespect and it’s deplorable coming from a man ALL THE TIME. If rih was a man sam wouldn’t shade her he’d wanna f***. If I was rih I’d get a couple n***** to meet him outside.

    • Jamon August 2, 2016

      100

  27. Danzou August 2, 2016

    But anyways POSE BIH!

  28. RICHIE_RICH August 2, 2016

    She ate this . POSE BISH!!!!??????????????

  29. Thando August 2, 2016

    This woman is made to be in front of the camera. S*** beyond words. And she can make cardboard look sheek. Absolutely gorgeous.

  30. Rihboy August 2, 2016

    Slaying a photo shoot without having the same dry wig on and same stances! This is what a true model looks like! This is how a true model slays. Ciara and bey need to get with the program.

    • BEY>RIH August 2, 2016

      Your fave should stick to modeling because that is all she is good at. The other two mentioned are talented and not modes with mics….

    • BEY>RIH August 2, 2016

      Btw although rih is beautiful, the picture in my avi slays any rih look tbh..

  31. Selenator *Buy We Dont Talk Anymore* August 2, 2016

    She is gorgeous, but we already knew Rih can slay a photoshoot. When will Gigi Hadbland or whatever her name is?

    • Danzou August 2, 2016

      molly shut up

      • Selenator *Buy We Dont Talk Anymore* August 2, 2016

        Im not Molly though, you tried it. Stick to pounding out essays about how you hate white people

  32. ow Reddish tran ivy blokz Need UK timely Ukuyikiji August 2, 2016

    She looks nice on the cover

  33. Test August 10, 2016

  34. Mel Kinsinger August 21, 2016

    Stylist Edward Enninful says Rihanna was very involved with the styling and clothes featured in the photo shoot.
