Rihanna’s Rated R Was Originally Called..

Such a F***ing Lady.

I actually wanted to name my album, Such a F**king Lady, but a couple of stores, a couple of major outlets didn’t allow that.

That was the title for a while, but Rated R made more sense because of the overall story. It’s a movie really, the album. But Such a F**king Lady - we take everything back to that - especially in our style.
