Rihanna releases sultry new kill video for 'Needed Me'

WASHINGTON, April 20 (UPI) -- Rihanna bares her chest under a flowing sheer robe before shooting a tattooed man in a strip club in her new "Needed Me" video.

The pop star and self-proclaimed bad girl from Barbados released the new video at noon on Wednesday, teasing images from the Miami-based clip on social media ahead of time.

Harmony Korine directed the video, which shows Rihanna walking through a strip club to murder a tattooed man throwing handfuls of $100 bills at dancers.

Scenes of serenity on the veranda of a mansion fronting Miami's Biscayne Bay contrast with others showing gun-wielding men in a poor neighborhood and a busy nightclub with men throwing bills at strippers doing pole dances. In the end, Rihanna's tattooed target bleeds on the floor surrounded by his own money.

Rihanna was spotted in Miami shooting the new video in mid-March, according to TMZ. The singer also launched her world tour from Miami that week.

"Needed Me" is the latest single from Rihanna's eighth studio album Anti, which was released earlier this year.
