Rihanna just released the music video for her newest single ‘Needed Me,’ from her latest album ‘ ANTI,’ and she looked absolutely stunning in it.

The video was directed by Harmony Korine; the director of the movie ‘Spring Breakers,’ starring Vanessa Hudgens, Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson.

She announced the video via a series of Instagram posts, in honour of 4/20. The video had already earned itself 100k views in only 10 minutes!

As soon as the video dropped, fans took over Twitter in a matter of seconds and were going crazy! They have made #Needed Me a worldwide trending topic.

The video features masked wearing gunmen, strip clubs, dirt-bikes and lots of cleavage. We see her show up at a strip club and she walks in like she owns the place, with a pistol in her hand. She assassinates a guy covered in tattoos, who was in the middle of getting a lap dance.
