Rihanna on being unapologetic

Talking to Alexis, Rihanna explained that she is not someone who is worried about being labelled ‘bossy’. “I have been bossy all my life. Ever since I was a little girl, but [this performance] is riding on me, you know? There are a lot of people who are a part of this show, and huge part of the reason why this show’s gonna be as incredible as it is, and I couldn’t have done it without them,” the Umbrella singer said.

She further added that her name is associated with all the projects she takes up, and that she has to stand by them regardless they succeed or fail. “And so I really get involved with every aspect of anything that I do, whether it’s the Super Bowl, whether it’s a makeup product, whether it’s Savage lingerie, like, whatever I do, I’m that annoying girl who’s gonna talk about everything. I want to see the copy on the website! I want to name every lipstick that I make. I care about it. I love it. I love it, I really do,” the mother of one said.
