Rihanna's 'see you next Tuesday' slip of the tongue
Last week she was being told to cover up by a farmer, this week she's been told to watch her mouth, Rihanna has official become the good girl gone bad.
The We Found Love singer, who is the cover girl of the November issue of Vogue UK, has told the fashion bible of her fondness for using the 'c' word and why she just wants to be left alone to make music.
"That word is so offensive to everyone in the world except for Bajans. You know African-Americans use the n-word to their brothers? Well, that's the way we use the c-word," the Barbados-born pop star said.
"When I first came here, I was saying it like it was nothing, like, 'Hey, c...,' until my makeup artist finally had to tell me to stop. I just never know."
The 23-year-old graced the cover of the magazine wearing a short blonde wig and adorned in never seen before Armani Prive couture.
She also spoke about how different the real "Ri Ri" is from her onstage persona who sings and thrusts about on stage in barely-there costumes to her chart topping hits including S&M.
"That's not me. That's a part I play. You know, like it's a piece of art, with all these toys and textures to play with," she added.
"They want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead. The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me, and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That's it."
The in-depth interview, her first in a number of years, also touched on her turbulent past and the highly publicised relationship with R&B singer Chris Brown.
"I saw too much. I was too mature for my age," she said of her upbringing in a broken home, shattered further by the effects of domestic violence.
"God doesn't give any more than you can handle. I had to get through a lot of ups and downs – big downs – and a lot of trial and error to get where I am now."
