Barbadian singer and songwriter, Rihanna’s, song “Bitch Better Have My Money” was liberated in the year 2015. The favored song had previously landed as number four in Pitchfork’s, “Best of 2015” list. Just as the name of the music video urges, the key point is, “Bitch Better Have My Money”; a concept in which Rihanna indicates how someone owes her money and needs to pay it forward. This is not the only image an individual could draw from the song lyrics. In fact, the song could be referring to demanding respect from an individual, gaining ethnic dominance, instigation to violence, or even females being used as objects.

We see the group of girls buy snacks while Rihanna makes a phone call over on the side of the station. At this point, the cameraman blurs out the background, which is the foreign car and the girls, for a quick four seconds and focuses only on Rihanna. Her anger towards the phone being repeatedly banged on the telephone post shows that the person that owes her money is not talking good enough for …show more content…
This was the same part where she slammed the phone back into the post at the gas station. Megaforce seems to be showing different cuts of the video so that we can piece together why every time Rihanna was on the phone, she was angry and dissatisfied. We can see Rihanna walking up to the accountant in the last few seconds with her knife in hand, and a loud splat sound can be heard. In this moment, the screen goes black. This allows us to know that she has killed the accountant due to him underestimating her and not paying her the money. With amounts of blood all over her and the beginning of the music video playing again, we now know that the person sitting in the box was Rihanna and she is laying on a pile of money.
