14 DAY TRIAL // Rihanna’s newest single, “[B-word] Better Have My Money” or “BBHMM” for short, has been out for a while, and she took her time in releasing an official visual companion. Once you see what she came up with, you will understand why production was so slow.
Stepping in the shoes of the likes of Beyonce and Lady Gaga, Rihanna has released a short film in lieu of the usual, light music video. The comparison still stands when you look at the nature of the content she delivers: there is no conceivable way to depict this video as PG.
It’s violent and shameless, revealing and unfiltered. An NC-17 rating would probably best suit it, so I won’t embed it here for the obvious reasons. You can, however, see it in full and in HD on Rihanna’s VEVO), *but please be advised that discretion is highly recommended because of its graphic nature.
Rihanna plays an angry woman double crossed by her accountant. To get her money back (the title refers to her accountant, not some random woman), she takes the accountant’s wife hostage and drags her around until she gets a promise that she will see her money.
Eric Roberts makes a cameo as a dirty cop who turns a blind eye to the fact that RiRi and her posse are keeping the accountant’s wife hostage, while the accountant himself is played by Mads Mikkelsen.
If there ever was an actor typecast as the bad guy, he is it. You just know and expect him to want to double cross Rihanna but, as you will see, she’s not the type to take these things lightly.
