Rihanna covers the latest issue of i-D magazine's music issue. Spooky Black, Dev "Blood Orange" Hynes, and Charli XCX, amongst others, will also appear in the mag.
The British publication teased the front page on Instagram this morning. Rihanna, of course, slays the covers—as she normally does. The Navy is already freaking out.

There are also some pretty funny comparisons to Felicia from Friday.
Yo somebody posted a comment on @rihanna cover for @i_D "Omg I thought It was Felecia."

The cover comes on the heels of the singer's surprise release of her new single, "FourFiveSeconds" with Kanye West and Paul McCartney, this past weekend. This also follows the announcement her new role as Puma's creative director.
RiRi season is in full effect. Now all we need is that R8 album.
UPDATE 2/5/15: i-D has released more photos from Rihanna's cover shoot, which you can view below.
