Rihanna is no stranger to getting her kit off in the name of fashion. This time, the B*tch Better Have My Money singer is flaunting her bod inside V magazine for their neon issue ahead of her eighth studio album's release.

Despite critics saying she went on a two-year break, RiRi insists she's actually been quite busy. "I didn't actually take time off. The past two years are the hardest I've ever worked," she said.

"I've been working on two albums, an animated film, shooting for multiple magazines, designing for Puma and Stance, a new line of fragrances, a summer tour, I launched my first annual Diamond Ball at the end of last year, and I've also been developing several projects to be revealed in the near future."

With over 17 million eyeballs watching her every move on Instagram, the Bajan star admits privacy isn't a big deal to her these days. "Do I even give a d**k about that anymore?" said the pop star when asked about maintaining her privacy.

What she does care about, however, is her music.

Speaking about the forthcoming album - which will feature her song with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, FourFiveSeconds - RiRi says the album is "soulful and aggressive, whether it’s lyrically, musically, or just the tone of my voice".
