Rihanna hits out at product-placement deals

Rihanna said to UK magazine NME: “I don’t like things to be so commercial. I hate product placement in my videos. Videos should just tell the story of the song.

“With product placement, it becomes this ad campaign. I just don’t like that. Sometimes, we have to, for whatever political reason, but it’s never my first choice.”

The Rude Boy singer admitted she believes stars should take control of their own style.

She said: “After my first two albums, I just said: ‘I’m ready to do it my way, completely.’

“So a few of us went into the studio, cut my hair, dyed it black. The label hadn’t seen anything – they didn’t know what was going on.”

Rihanna Planned To Collaborate With Elly Jackson

Apparently, Rihanna planned to record a duet with British singer Elly Jackson – but the project was shelved after the Feb 8 incident.

La Roux singer Jackson has been approached by several “big artists” about a collaboration, including Nelly Furtado and hip-hop stars N.E.R.D.

Rihanna also made inquiries about working with the Bulletproof star – but the plan collapsed when the Umbrella hitmaker went into hiding after Brown assault.

Jackson tells Britain’s NME magazine, “I’ve had three or four offers for collaborations in America. Big, big artists. Rihanna was very interested for a time… That was weird. My A&R (artists and repertoire) man said, ‘Rihanna’s gonna call!’ That was the last I heard of it. She didn’t call! It was around the time of, er, troubles in her life. To be honest, do I really want to work with Rihanna? Not really. I’m more interested in what the phone call would be like.”
