In September of 2015, Q magazine created an article on the controversy of Rihanna 's 'Bitch better have my money' music video and how it wasn't much of a music video but more of a mini - movie.
The article states that Rihanna created the video to get attention, she hadn't been getting much press time recently and her controversial video got her just the amount of attention she needed to make a good comeback. The article states that in the video 'Rihanna want to be seen as a no - fuck - giving badass but comes off as somewhat desperate' which I completely agree with. The idea of having a mini movie as a video can also be a good idea as we saw in Kendrick Lamar's video for 'alright' which contained brilliant camera shots and a relatable video. Rihanna 's video, contained a lot of nudity and drug use, also related to the song but she could've come off with a different idea than kidnapping and humiliating an innocent woman.
