10 Things You Didn't Know About Rihanna

By Rachel Bailey /

8. She Is Vulnerable

Rihanna admits to having a vulnerable side, despite what some her music and lyrics depict. It's easy to assume the 'Bitch Better Have My Money' singer is tough and independent, and also to forget that she's an occasionally-emotional woman like the rest of us. She told Kanye West in an interview: "I think a lot of people have a misconception of me. They only see the tough, defen­sive, aggressive side. But every woman is vulnerable. They have vulnerability. So of course I'm going to have that side. It's not a major part of who I am, but it's definitely there. I just don't like people to see me cry - I don't like to let them know when I'm bothered. I just prefer it to be all about business...I don't want it to affect anything in my professional life"
