Rihanna released a new explicit video on Wednesday night for her single B**** Better Have My Money. The plot is so serious that one of the characters is believed to be based on a real person.
The 27-year-old co-directed the racy video with the French collective MegaForce.
Rihanna took time to set the scene of her epic revenge piece, with the music not even beginning until over 90 seconds into it.
The seven-minute video was rated for mature audiences for its language, nudity and violence.

Riri said that the concept came to her eight months ago, which is basically about the singer getting revenge on a shady accountant.
The story began with a pretty blonde woman getting all made up and donning a plunging white suit before kissing her husband goodbye, grabbing her small dog and hopping into her building's elevator.
Meanwhile, Rihanna makes her way into the same building, suspiciously dragging a heavy trunk. She maintains a poker face as she's joined in the elevator by the woman.
As soon as the doors open back up, and the music begins to play, and Rihanna will be seen holding pup and the blonde girl was nowhere to be found.
Throughout the mini-film, the sly guy, a.k.a. “the b***h,” is seen not taking her demands seriously, until she had enough and physically prepares to take matters into her own hands.

Hannibal star Mads Mikkelsen made an appearance in the wild video. He may be the villain in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale did the torturing of Agent 007 but this time around he found himself tied up in a chair by Riri.
According to The Fader, this representation may not all be fiction. Although Rihanna did not tie her accountant up like in the video, but she did have a similar money situation in 2009.
The 'Diamonds' hitmaker filed a lawsuit against her accountant Peter Gounis and the firm Berdon LLP, claiming 'gross mismanagement' of her income after they gave her the green light to purchase a $7 million home despite the fact her account was in the red.
As a result, she was left effectively bankrupt. Rihanna eventually won the case and fired her money advisors.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Rihanna has an estimated net worth of $140 million.
