Rihanna Topless Pose

R&B star Rihanna declined to go topless during a recent cover shoot with a German magazine. The reason was her desire to be taken seriously as a musician. “I don’t like to wear things too skimpy,” said the Barbados-born singer.

“If I do shorts on the bottom, it’s gotta be something very conservative on top. If it’s skimpy at the top, it’s gotta be long jeans or something.”

She also said that she strives to be like Alicia Keys when it comes to balancing her music with her sexy image.

“That’s what I admire so much about Alicia Keys. She became so successful off of just her music. She was really conservative about her style at first.”

Rihanna is on the rise and this looks like a smart move on her part...
