39 Questions We Have About Rihanna's "BBHMM"

by Orli Matlow

"Bad Gal RiRi" dropped her major new music video upon the world after months of anticipation, and watching it will make you excited, scared, and confused. The "Bitch Better Have My Money" music video is like an even crazier Spring Breakers, condensed to 7 minutes and with full-frontal nudity. It even has some trippy lighting like Spring Breakers. However, it has Mads Mikkelsen of Hannibal instead of James Franco, although Mikkelsen suffers just about the same fate as Alien did. The song is a great entry into the "beautiful women behaving badly" genre like Spring Breakers, and has EVERYTHING: naked torture, girl gangs, murder and weed. But it also leaves me with questions about Rihanna's "Bitch Better Have My Money" music video that I need answered.

When the music video opens with a "Mature Adult Warning" due to language, nudity, and violence, they really mean that "viewer discretion is advised." This one is darker than your average video. RiRi heightens the revenge fantasy of Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" to even crazier proportions. Instead of kicking and beating up paintings, RiRi beats up people, and, instead of seeking revenge on someone from her "long list of ex-lovers who tell her [she's] insane," she is seeking revenge on... you'll have to watch and see, it's actually a cool twist. "Bitch Better Have My Money" is starting to give us ideas for if our roommates can't pay rent. It's as easy as kidnapping, torture, and murder to make sure you get what you need.

Without further ado, here are 38 questions we had while indulging in this trippy experience.

This is a beautiful tropical location (based on the palm trees).
