Rihanna’s single, “Russian Roulette” faced a little bit of controversy lyrically and now she’s getting a little hit for the single cover.

Trust me Ms. Good Girl Gone Bad is defending her music.

During a radio interview Rihanna said:

“I definitely thought the barbed wire was cool. It was a symbol of strength but fearlessness all at once, that’s why we used it.”

And Rihanna explains the task of wrapping her in the barbed wire:

“We took our time and wrapped that barbed wire around me. It took forever because we had to wrap it round the front of me a few times more than the rest of me so that it would cover the necessary.”

Really who cares, I’ve heard worst lyrics and definitely the cover isn’t bad at all. Hell on a good day Rih Rih’s tah tah are on display regularly via a see through blouse. So who knew this album cover would get so much negative attention.

And check out more of Rihanna’s new promos for her new album Rate R.

Rated R, can’t wait!
