Rihanna Primps Carib-Style For “Rude Boy” Video

Categories: Are You Feelin This Get Up?, News, Rihanna

We haven’t seen Rihanna rep Bajan culture much since her first album, but it’s looking like her next video will do just that. Def Jam came up off some photos from her “Rude Boy” video, which is set to premiere Thursday. Check the flipside for more shots and some details on the video.

“[It's] completely different from any other video I’ve shot before,” Rihanna told Carson Daly on his Amp Radio show. “A lot of my videos are really dark and edgy and tough. ‘Rude Boy’ is more playing along the lines from my roots.”

“We used a lot of color, but also the costumes were very Jamaican dance-hall queen type,” she added.

The video is directed by Melina Matsoukas. Seems like it doesn’t really matter what the influence is for Rihanna’s videos, she’s not gonna be leaving much to the imagination when it comes to the costumes. Are you feeling her dancehall stylee?

    I’m tired of this wannabe white fake. Seriously, she is an insult to everyone in the Caribbean. She doesn’t give a damn about her Caribbean heritage.

  • drenk

    EVERYBODY KNOWS THE ILLUMINATI GAVE HER THOSE CLOTHES!!

  • zoe

    um….it is me or does she look really rather U.G.L.Y with longer hair??!!

  • Elana

    RIHYUCKI THE LEAST TALENTED OF THEM ALL IS TRYING HARD. MAYBE SHE WILL MAKE IT, IF SHE TAKES SINGING LESSONS. SHE IS BLEACHING MORE THAN ANYONE. RIHYUCKI WILL NEVER BE ON BEYONCE, AND LADY GAGA’S LEVEL, BUT I DO WISH HER WELL. CHRIS BROWN, ONE OF MY FAVOTITE SINGERS IS SO MUCH BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER. GOOD LUCK, CHRIS.
    THE BEST-LOOKING, MOST TALENTED, YOUNG SINGER IN THE WORLD.

  • SMDH

    rihanna does not bleach her skin check her background
    her family is mixed with white, she also have a aunt that is white.

  • NYC Gal

    I hope Ri Ri get Lady Shaw or Patra to do the remix! Cos those ladies got the voice for dancehall.

  • gigi

    she looks pretty especially in the first picture. go girl u look fab

  • oh well

    HOT!!!!

  • La Mexican AKA Shamerika

    @ Beyonce-a$$-licker (BEYONCE IS ABOVE ALL BLACK WOMAN)- get your typing right. It should read BEYONCE IS ABOVE ALL BLACK WOMEN, not woman. IDIOT. Rihanna looks fab as usual. Can’t anyone do it better than her. Rihanna don’t give a f*** and “RUDE BOY” JAMS! WHO DAT!

  • Bk chica

    LOL @ Dark Skinned ugly girls are Jealous! WTF are you Crazy??? You have yet to see a beautiful dark skinned woman, especially from the Caribbean. Gabriel Union is just an ok dark skinned woman.
    I am from the Caribbean Black and Indian, dark skinned, long black hair smooth skin, straight nose, nice lips…. Beyonce has nothing on me but fame and money. I love my light skinned black girls but I get lots of damn attention. Go to the Caribbean Bish, you’ll see what I’m talking about. You dont have to be pale like Beyonce to look good. After all, there are light skin chicks on the streets of Bklyn that look better than Beyonce….So GTFO w/ that shyte

  • bluekid

    Rihanna is looking old in these pic’s, she even looks to be in her thirty’s in the first picture. Some lite skin chick age just as fast has some white chicks.

    Russel Simmons is putting a lot of money in to chicken head. I see all you Rihanna fans are not talking about her upgrade Matt Kemp, what happen did he drop her?

    ROFL! Chicken head Rihanna can’t keep a man.

  • bluekid

    Let’s stop with the dark skin/lite skin bit, white folks have used that against us for some time. It is a divide and conquer technique used against black people. Inner beauty will always out shine outer beauty.

    Rihanna is OK, nothing special.

  • bluekid

    She has really lost her beauty when she 1st came out she was stunning her skin was glowing her eyes spoke too you, now she wears too much makeup and trying too hard, her eyes have no soul, her skin is dry and she dress with no sense

  • n_satiable

    Not really feeling the first or third outfits, but the one with the zebra looks really good. Chick’s body is on point, and she looks great in that.

    Not a hater (because several of her songs are in my playlist — Limewire of course!), but I think that her success comes more from the strong beats (thanks to the producers) and her look (thanks to the stylists, hairdressers and makeup artists). She will never be accused of being overly talented….

  • KaniGitADolla?

    uMMM Umm gOOuT! hOLLaTcHaBOi dOLLA!

  • hell naw

    Since when does this ho care about the Caribbean?

  • bajan beauty

    bout d a m n time she starts reppin’ her culture

  • Tee3

    Yaayyy!! She bought the bright colors back. That’s the from power of the people. I like where this is going – please don’t punk out, Ri.

  • Rai

    BLUEKID: Oh s— now u r the second coming saving souls and sh–. U r a wackadoo. CUKCOOCUKCOO. Take ur meds and try espousing that religous BS tomorrow or when ever another Rihanna post is up. loser.

  • a somebody

    i agree with holla bak girl i liked the first image she had when she first came out and i hope next year she can go bak 2 it but still i like all her new hair styles she iis never ugly and beyonce and rihanna are friends so ppl stop trying 2 say that beyonce is better who cares cause they not competing aganist each other. if u dont like rihanna then dont comment on her stuff

  • Please stop…
