In the issue 24-year-old "Diamonds"
singer talks about her controversial relationship with Chris Brown and her
album Unapologetic became her first album to debut at No. 1
in the US.
When I was making
this record I had no intention except the truth. So whatever is there is real.
It’s raw. That’s why the album is called Unapologetic
At one point, the interviewer asks
Rihanna why she makes a record about her and Brown's relationship if it really
is nobody's business.
Before leaving the restaurant for
the airport, Rihanna addresses one last question. It’s the biggest question
surrounding the song: If her relationship with Brown is truly nobody’s
business, then why make a record about it?
Her voice, usually warm and cut
with chuckles, turns cold. “Pardon me?” she replies, her eyebrow slightly raised.
Even after the question is repeated, she hesitates to answer. The hands that
moved up and down throughout the conversation suddenly fall flat. “It’s the
truth. Remember?” she says, turning toward the other side of the table to
gather her belongings. As she gets up to leave, she adds: “It’s a fun record
that The-Dream wrote and we loved the lyrics. You’re still asking me questions
about it so clearly you don’t know.”
