Rihanna Keeps Complex Sizzlin’ For the Summer: June/July Issue

Complex's June/July issue hits newsstands next week (June 12), and it’s bringing the heat. Our covergirl is none other than little-miss-sunshine herself Rhianna, who will release her highly anticipated album “Good Girl Gone Bad” this Tuesday. The sexy songstress sat down with us to discuss her music, a new CoverGirl Campaign, working with Jay Z, Hollywood drama, and how she’ll never be a sloppy starlet:

So when can we expect to read about you in US Weekly wildin' out like Lindsay and Britney?
Never. I'm just not the type to get sucked into bullshit. Everyone has control of what they do as an individual. I'm very sure about who I am as a person and what I'm here to do. I'm here in L.A., but I'm still not “here in L.A.” I come from a very different place, and it gives me an advantage.

Did you feel he (Jay Z) was too hands-off as a mentor?
He threw me out there but he guided every step of the way. He told me that the only way people can get to me is through my circle. If my circle is phony, then stuff will get to me.

Here’s some more Rihanna from the issue to hold you over till it officially hits the streets. And cause we love ya, here’s some bonus behind the scenes video from the photo shoot.

On the flipside of the mag we’ve got Knocked Up x Wu-Tang. Nope you won't see that collab in any over-hyped t-shirt, but we did get Judd Apatow's golden boy Seth Rogen, the star of the hilarious Knocked Up and the Wu's clan leader RZA for a duel cover story where the two share their success stories, gay jokes and freestyle rap/acting. Plus Bobby Digital talks about his crew having NYC on lock:

RZA on WU:
We was the elite of the whole borough.
Everybody in my crew was a cool muthafucka. Like U-God'back then they called him Ears. This muthafucka was the first nigga to come
out with the two [gold] cables on his neck. The rumor was, on his job he found a fuckin' money bag! [Laughs.] It wasn't a bunch of lame
muthafuckas looking for the next one to feed off of.

Speaking of success, everyone wants to get rich, so we've got some of industry's top movers and shakers like DJ AM, Hypebeast Kevin Ma, and Kim Jones to tell you how they came up, in our annual “How To Blow Up” package. And there’s a whole lot more, but we’ll leave the rest as a surprise, it hits newsstands June 12.
