It is safe to say that the industry is hers (and Beyoncé's). It is safe to say that when it comes to fashion in music, there are many, but none quite like her. She is one of the most dominant women of our time. Robin Rihanna Fenty has done everything there is to do in her profession, but still has so much more to come. 

In a recent interview with Miranda July, a blogger for T Magazine (NY Times style mag), Rihanna opens up about many things as she takes the cover of the magazine with Karl Lagerfeld and four others, all appointed as "The Greats". 

Want to know what Rihanna has to say about sex, guys and her career? Here you have it: 

What does Rihanna search on the Internet ?

"Oh, random things. Like I will be sitting around Googling childbirth. Childbirth is putting it the not-gross way. I was searching the size of certain things, and how much they expand, and then what happens after. ..."

Social Media.

Rihanna was asked what apps shrines on her phone. She revealed that squaready is what she uses for Instagram. She also informed us that she does Instagram herself, no one else does it for her. "That's the only way it'll actually work. My fans can sniff the BS from very far away. I cannot trick them."

The pop star also mentioned her "feeling unsafe after an accomplishment". "I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. I don't want to get lost in this big cushion of success."

Guys.

(Btw, THIS QUOTE... BITCH!! SHE SNATCHED ME BALD!) 

"Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then. I'll give it to my family, I'll give it to my work- but I will not give it to a man right now."

Sex.

Rihanna was asked when she first learned about sex.‘‘Well, there’s always this human instinct about that, even from a very, very young age.’’

So... What turns Rihanna on?

"I'm turned on by guys who are cultured. That'll keep me intrigued. They don't have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught."

Race.

A very controversial subject, Rihanna was uncomfortable with answering "How does it feel to be a young black woman with power in America?"... So Miranda had to rephrase the question. She then asked if she had suddenly felt aware of race in a different way when she moved to New York. (Rihanna was about to slap u girl, Bajan style). 

‘‘You know, when I started to experience the difference — or even have my race be highlighted — it was mostly when I would do business deals.’’ Meaning that these people who run these agencies are okay with black folks singing dancing and singing and performing, but oh no, don't u dare try and negotiate a deal... That's a white people thing. She went on to say,‘‘And, you know, that never ends, by the way. It’s still a thing. And it’s the thing that makes me want to prove people wrong. It almost excites me; I know what they’re expecting and I can’t wait to show them that I’m here to exceed those expectations.’’
