Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Covers GQ’s ‘Men of the Year’ Issue

It may be a man’s world, but that isn’t stopping Rihanna from covering GQ’s “Men of the Year” issue. The “Diamonds” singer breaks boundaries and bares all in the men’s magazine, which reads “Men of the Year (And One Hot Woman).”

She poses naked except for a cropped leather jacket over her shoulders and some strategically-placed hands. She’s in good company with fellow “Men of the Year” Channing Tatum, Ben Affleck, Quentin Tarantino, and Usain Bolt.

“GQ’s man of the year?! When will your fave?” tweeted RiRi, who will release her seventh album Unapologetic in seven days.

UPDATE: See more photos from the sexy shoot below.

@Diego, and yet there are people in the industry that have been out longer than her and still cant get a single to go #1 or stay on the charts as long as her songs do. Every album she puts out is GUARANTEED to got about 3x , 4x Platinum . Most artists out cant even say that.

LETS BE REAL THE NAVY ARENT DEDICATED WHY CANT YOU GET HER TO #1 IF SHES THE BIGGEST POPSTAR OUT RIGHT NOW? HUH – BECAUSE THOSE OTHER ARTISTS WHO YOU SPEAK OF (BADDIEBEY) CAN STILL SELL ARENA’S HIT #1 WITH ALBUMS AND GET BIGGER ENDORSMENTS!!! WHERE WAS THE B.NAVY WHEN HER SHOW GOT PULLED FROM LIVING TV???

I would really prefer she focus on her craft at this point. It’d be a welcome change from “Rihanna’s naked again. She changed her do. She wants us all to know she’s high. Rihanna and writers rush out another album and single for x,y,z.”

Why is she naked? This is why she has so much drama and disorganization in her life. She really needs direction. Talent is NOT her forte if she needs to go in this direction. Respect from peers is a stretch as well, especially from the men. Chile…

*sigh* so quick to judge. Funny how she just gave a listening party to her new album and everyone that went had to give a mandatory gift to the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Rih alone gave 1,000 sleeping bags to shelters for the victims too. No one cares about the positive she does. Has everyone one forgot about the “Venus De Milo” statue? Exposing skin isn’t PORN. It can be seen as art too. Women’s bodies have been praised since the beginning of time.

@Neysie, To clarify, it’s not hating if people voice their opinions on a public blog because that’s what it’s for. She did an amazing thing for the victims of Hurricane Sandy but it’s like she takes 2 steps forward and 3 back. Let’s be honest, she never leaves much (if anything) to the imagination. And NO man that’s trying to be serious w you is going to wife you up if you’re constantly exposing yourself to the world … ask Kim Kardashian. She’s been in the game now for 6 or 7 years, I think the people that she turns off (both men and women, inside and outside of the industry) would ease off of her if she got a little more serious about her craft. She’s quick to do a magazine to spread but goes on an awards show to perform & sounds a mess!?! In this day & age, talent is not that important … ass injections, an “artist’s” willingness to strip, etc that’s what makes some of the “stars” hot. Hoe’g is the new hustle I guess.
