Coming in as the follow-up to her Grammy-nominated debut album, WORSHIP SOULVINTAGE WORSHIP trails its predecessor’s path by shining as a collection of soul-tinged gospel gems.

Joined by the ever-unemployed Melissa Forde, last night saw Rihanna rock the worlds of her fans when she debuted a bold and brave new hairstyle, inspired by ‘The Pink Print‘ beauty Nicki Minaj.

Indeed, in moving onto visual pastures new, Rihanna debuted a bright pink hairdo at last night’s Oklahoma City Thunder vs Los Angeles Clippers game, before the release of her eighth studio album.

Quite interestingly, after citing the ‘Super Bass’ rapper as the inspiration behind the new look, Fenty saw hairstylist to the stars Terrence Davidson take to ‘Instagram’ to claim some responsibility for the look….after filing a $30 million lawsuit against Minaj for “stealing” his signature designs.
