Rihanna Admits to Feeling “Unsafe” in Success, Reveals Her Biggest Turn-Ons

Rihanna
Rihanna sat down with T Magazine to discuss her music, biggest turn-ons, and why success makes her feel "unsafe" — read more from the interview here!

On to the next! Rihanna has sold 41 million albums, topping the charts with 13 No. 1 singles, but according to the pop princess, she's just now fully able to appreciate her blockbuster success.

"Only now are things hitting me, like I'm feeling them emotionally," Rihanna, 27, told T Magazine. "I used to feel unsafe right in the moment of an accomplishment — I felt the ground fall from under my feet because this could be the end. And even now, while everyone is celebrating, I'm on to the next thing. I don't want to get lost in this big cushion of success."

One way she stays in touch with the real world? With her beloved (and racy!) Instagram account. "Yeah, [I post the photos]. That's the only way it'll actually work!" said the "Bitch Better Have My Money" singer, who Instagram once banned for posting too many revealing photos. "My fans can sniff the BS from very far away. I cannot trick them."

Rihanna didn't just gab about work, though; she also dished on the kind of man she's attracted to. "I'm turned on by guys who are cultured. That'll keep me intrigued," she shared. "They don't have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught. I like to sit on that side of the table."

That said, boys, beware! Rihanna's not looking for a lover right now. "Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then," explained the songstress, who famously dated Chris Brown. "I'll give it to my family, I'll give it to my work — but I will not give it to a man right now."
