Rihanna : “White People Want Me To Be a Role Model”

Rihanna channels her inner Marilyn Monroe and graces the November ’11 cover of Vogue UK, talking cunts and role-model ish. Peep the excerpts.

On being a role model:

“See, people — especially white people — they want me to be a role model just because of the life I lead….The things I say in my songs, they expect it of me and [being a role model] became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That’s it.”

On the use of the word (or jewerly for that matter) cunt:

“That word is so offensive to everyone in the world except for Bajans. You know African-Americans use the n-word to their brothers? Well, that’s the way we use the c-word …When I first came here, I was saying it like it was nothing, like, ‘Hey, c-nt,’ until my make-up artist finally had to tell me to stop. I just never know.”
