Get off the bloody phone

  • September 11, 2006

Three singles into her album campaign, it's time for Rihanna to start unleash­ing the rubbish. Here is the video for her new single — it's a video which, as we have now come to expect from Rihanna, involves a sort of sub-plot involving a telephone con­ver­sa­tion.

Instead of 'We Ride', you're probably better off watching this hilarious segment from MTV's 'My Super Sweet 16'. The story is that a buffoon wants Rihanna to be his 'date' for the evening. When she agrees, she does so without being fully aware of how she will be expected to make her grand entrance.

What the clip unfor­tu­nately doesn't show is that Rihanna was about four hours late for the party. We imagine she was busy texting her friends, plotting to kill boy­friends and so on. She is a very busy lady you see.
