Rihanna has declared she doesn’t care about keeping her life private any more as she stripped off for a sexy photoshoot.

The 27-year-old singer – one of the most photographed people in the world right now – graced the cover of the May issue of V magazine and gave an interview where she spoke openly about her total lack of privacy these days, saying: “Do I even give a d**k about that any more?”

She’s no stranger to the limelight and regularly posts revealing photos on her Instagram page, proving that she has given up trying to hide away from the public eye.

Rihanna also spoke about the hard work she’s put into various upcoming projects.

She revealed: “I didn’t actually take time off. The past two years are the hardest I’ve ever worked.

“I’ve been working on two albums, an animated film, shooting for multiple magazines, designing for Puma and Stance [socks], a new line of fragrances, a summer tour, I launched my first annual Diamond Ball at the end of last year, and I’ve also been developing several projects to be revealed in the near future.”

She certainly has been keeping busy but it seems to have paid off as she spoke proudly about her highly anticipated studio album saying: “Dude, I’m in love with my interludes” and revealing that her eighth album is much more “soulful and aggressive.. whether it’s lyrically, musically, or just the tone of my voice.”

The summery magazine photo-shoot showed the starlet posing topless with pale blue bikini bottoms, in a pool with a blue fur Popsicle draped seductively around her over a pale pink bralet and rocking a pink bikini and bright yellow fur. She’s gone for a striking look with platinum blonde hair, electric aquamarine eye make-up and her signature sultry pout.

The cover also showcases her numerous tattoos as the collection of stars on her back and small gun tattoo by her ribs are visible.

The issue of V magazine will be on stands on May 7.
