The sexiest woman alive, according to Esquire, did not disappoint in her nude cover for the men’s glossy. Hitting newsstands October 16, 23-year-old Rihanna bares all (minus a few pieces of seaweed) including some tidbits into her psyche regarding her ex-flame Chris Brown, her raw (very uncut) nature and her sexuality. The “We Found Love” singer is very bold; we know this. But small instances that allow us to take a closer look at her gyrate-loving self are quite awing. Our favorite part? She flexed her boss muscle during the interview. Ha!
Check out highlights from the cover story below…
On Chris Brown’s success: It’s incredible to see how he pulled out of it the way he did. Even when the world seemed like it was against him, you know? I really like the music he’s putting out. I’m a fan of his stuff. I’ve always been a fan. Obviously, I had some resentment toward him for a while, for obvious reasons. But I’ve put that behind me. It was taking up too much of my time. It was too much anger. I’m really excited to see the breakthrough he’s had in his career. I would never wish anything horrible for him. Never. I never have.
On her hyper-sexed shows: Unless it’s a song that really calls for it, like “Skin” or “S&M,” or when I cover “Darling Nikki.” There’s a section that’s called “Sex” in the show, which is the obvious section for sexuality. Like, really? Honestly, even if it comes across sexual — it has to be a part of my subconscious thought. It’s never deliberate in the rest of the show. I don’t even really… I could see “What’s My Name?” — the dancing is pretty sexy. “Rude Boy.” But I don’t know. I guess people find different things sexy.
On what she eats on tour: “I’m very stubborn when it comes to food. I don’t like to try new things. When I came to America, there were so many different cultures and tastes. I haven’t acquired a taste for a lot of things. Like, calamari? Jay-Z had to make me eat it. We have this thing called Taste Test Tuesdays or New Flavor Fridays or Substitute Saturdays.
