Rihanna's 10 Most Bizarre Moments Involving Weed

October 8, 2012 - 4:38 pm by Chris Yuscavage

We're not sure exactly when it happened. But, at some point over the course of the last few years, Rihanna got really, really comfortable with the idea of smoking weed. As a result, she's smoked it out in public. She's promoted it on T-shirts. And, most recently, she's used it to push her music. As you can see in the image above, Rih-Rih put out the artwork for her new single, "Diamonds," earlier this week and it features a handful of diamonds surrounded by some rolling paper on the front of it.

So, what gives? Is she trying to become a marijuana advocate or something? We don't think so. But, then again, it's clear that she loves the green stuff. To show you what we mean, we put together a list of Rihanna's 10 Most Bizarre Moments Involving Weed. Before you press play on her new song (which hit the 'net early Wednesday), click through this list to learn more about Rih-Rih's dirty little (not so) secret.

The Moment: Blowing weed smoke into model Dudley O'Shaughnessy's mouth during a scene in her "We Found Love" music video What It Was So Bizarre: It was so blatant! Here Rihanna was creating a video for one of the biggest singles of her career, and she used the video to show off her love for weed.

The Moment: Smoking a blunt during a vacation in Hawaii in January 2012 (part 1) What It Was So Bizarre: Shortly after sending out a tweet that included the Drake lyrics, "Kush rolled, glass full…I prefer the better things," Rih-Rih got caught by the paparazzi smoking weed outside in Hawaii. And, she wasn't done there…

The Moment: Smoking a blunt during a vacation in Hawaii in January 2012 (part 2!) What It Was So Bizarre: Again, Rihanna? After the paparazzi captured her the day before getting her smoke on, she walked around again with a blunt hanging out of her mouth.

The Moment: Rocking a "how-to-roll-a-joint" T-shirt during a night out at a restaurant in Los Angeles in August 2012 What It Was So Bizarre: One, because she looked like she was headed home after a long night at a rave. And, two, because she was actually headed to a nice restaurant. Was this really the best outfit she could put together for it?

The Moment: Getting caught walking out of a marijuana shop in Amsterdam in October 2011 What It Was So Bizarre: We know she was in Amsterdam. But, damn! Weren't there any other sights she wanted to check out?!

The Moment: Rolling weed while sitting on top of her bodyguard's head during the Coachella festival in April 2012 What It Was So Bizarre: First off, doesn't she have someone else who can roll up for her? And, even if she doesn't, why'd she have to do it out in public—and on top of her bodyguard's head? So many questions on this one, so few answers.

The Moment: Getting "THUG LIFE" written across her stomach and smoking with Snoop Dogg and Warren G What It Was So Bizarre: What the hell was going on here? From the fact that she let someone take a Sharpie to her stomach to the fact that she's got a super joint hanging out of her mouth, there's too much going on in this photo.

The Moment: Blowing smoke out of her mouth on the cover of her 2011 album, Talk That Talk What It Was So Bizarre: She was trying to portray a good-girl-gone-bad image—and this did it!

The Moment: Getting kicked out of a hotel in her native Barbados for smoking weed and setting off several fire alarms in the process in June 2010 What It Was So Bizarre: At the time, Rih-Rih wasn't really known as a big pot smoker. So, we weren't sure what to think. Now, it all makes a little bit more sense.

The Moment: Rolling diamonds in rolling paper on the artwork for her new September 2012 single, "Diamonds" What It Was So Bizarre: We get the point that Rihanna is trying to make with the photo she chose for the single. But, she is still a pop artist, right? So, does anyone else think a few kids out there (and, more importantly, the parents of a few kids out there) might have a legitimate beef with the image she picked? Yeah, we think so. But, hey: It's Rih-Rih's world. We're just living in it. Now, pass that...
