Rihanna has been endlessly teasing the music video for her latest single on social media. In fact, RiRi even showed a teaser for the "B-ch Better Have My Money" music video at the 2015 BET Awards.
It seems as though all the teasing was worth it, as the video shows a lot of craziness than most actually imagined it to be. Directed by Rihanna and Megaforce, the seven-minute video is actually very dark and cinematic.
This is Rihanna's first attempt at directing, and she surely didn't disappoint. There's really no need for any "anxious" feelings, RiRi.

The video shows a lot of nudity, some angst, and a whole lot of money. The plot highlights Bad Gal RiRi with her squad as they kidnap a wealthy blonde woman and torture her continuously in various locations.
What's even better is the plot twist, showing that the "b-ch" isn't even a woman, but a man portrayed by "Hannibal" actor Mads Mikkelsen.
Rihanna shows a darker side of herself in the video, donning long brown locks with a dark pout throughout the video. As expected, Rihanna gets her money at the end of the video as a close up shot reveals the singer drenched in blood.
The last scene is actually very reminiscent of the film, "Carrie." But this isn't the only cult classic that bears a lot of similarities with the music video.
In one scene after Rihanna kidnaps the blonde bombshell, she and her squad make a quick getaway in a sky blue, top down, American vintage sports car as they drive into the dessert. Now, the scene has an uncanny resemblance to "Thelma and Louise" who drove off in a 1966 Thunderbird.
"Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill" tells of a story of three female go-go dancers that kidnap an innocent woman and zoom across a dessert in a sports car. Rihanna's #BBHMM squad, including herself, actually does the same in the music video.
