Nick Knight for British VogueRihanna believes her curves are what make women admire her body.
“Maybe it’s because I’m ‘thicc’ now,” she says in her cover story for the September issue of British Vogue.
“I’m about to get back into the gym and stuff, and I hope I don’t lose my butt or my hips or all of my thighs,” she adds. “I’ll lose some but not all. And I think of my boobs, like, ‘Imma lose everything, everything goes!’”
Riri, who recently starred Ocean’s Eight, says women should realize the quest for a perfect body is almost impossible.
“It comes with a price,” she says. “You want to have a butt, then you have a gut.”
After more than a decade of stardom, the 30-year-old superstar tells the magazine she’s careful about who she allows to get close to her.
“I don’t like to open myself up to everyone and so when you find people who are great and loyal, you don’t want to let go of that.” she says. “I’ve been out here on my own since I was a teenager, so these people become like your family.’
The nine-time Grammy Award winner has been involved in highly publicized relationships with the likes of Chris Brown and Drake, and reveals that women constantly ask her for guidance about romance.
“I think a lot of people meet people and then they’re dating the idea of what the person could become, and that person never shows up and then they’re just mad disappointed,” Rihanna says. “A person can always get better, they can always get worse, but you’ve got to be fine with what you met them as.’
Rihanna’s the first black woman to cover a September issue of British Vogue, according to People. The issue hits newsstands Friday, August 3.
