RIHANNA ON THE NEW W MAGAZINE! SAY'S THERE WAS ALOT OF INSECURITY IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP!

Fierce fashionista and pop star Rihanna looks smokin’ hot in a white Gucci dress on the cover of the February 2010 issue of W Magazine.

In the gorgeous black and white spread, the pop princess tries on several daring looks, and it wouldn’t be a shoot with Rihanna if she didn’t go topless and flash a little boob.

For the cover story, Rihanna tells more about the therapeutic process of recording her album, Rated R, and how it helped her cope with the assault and break up with her ex Chris Brown. She also talks about some of the issues they faced in the relationship that could have been a sign that things might turn violent. “There were control issues, insecurity,” she told the mag. “When people are insecure they become very controlling and they can get very aggressive and in turn abusive. It doesn’t have to be physical. Like they would say bad stuff to you to make you feel lesser than them just so they would have control in the relationship. It takes a big toll on your emotions and on your everyday life. It changes you.”

She opens up about what some would say was an inappropriate spoof of Tiger Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren’s fight on Saturday Night Live in the same episode she would play musical guest. “Violence should of course be avoided at any cost, but Saturday Night Live is a show that finds humor in every serious situation, so it wasn’t offensive to me in any way.”

Rated R collaborator and longtime friend Ne-Yo chimes in on Rihanna’s growth as an artist, saying she went from a “puppet” to a full-fledged artist taking control of the creative process.
