Rihanna is a homicidal maniac in her new super-NSFW video

The explicit lyrical content of "Bitch Better Have My Money" gets visuals to match.
So Rihanna released her new music video for “Bitch Better Have My Money” and it’s — well, it’s something. Basically, RiRi loses her shit and goes on a crime spree involving kidnapping, torture, assault, murder, and a ton of weed smoking. She also seems to be advocating for the #FreeTheNipple movement in the partial-nudity filled video, albeit in her own bloody and disturbing way.
Oh, and it gets better. The main target of her wrath in the video (which she co-directed) is a man identified as “The Accountant” a.k.a. “The Bitch” played by Hannibal actor Mads Mikkelsen. Turns out he might be a stand-in for Rihanna’s real-life former accountant: In 2012 the R&B star sued Peter Gounis and the Berdon accounting firm, saying their mismanagement of her money and piss-poor financial advice left her “effectively bankrupt” (apparently being left with ‘only’ $2M is effectively bankrupt in her world).
Even though Rihanna settled with the firm out of court last year, it seems she’s still a wee bit ticked off about it. With lines like “Shit, your wife in the backseat of my brand new foreign car/Don’t act like you forgot, I call the shots” and matching visuals, I think we can all safely say we’ve learned not to fuck with RiRi’s money. Ever.
