Rihanna’s Director Sucks! She Totally Ripped Off M.I.A.!

Rihanna‘s latest video for “Rude Boy” looked an awful lot like M.I.A.‘s “Boyz” music video, but apparently Rihanna’s director Melina Matsoukas didn’t think about the obvious comparisons while shooting the vid.

She explains:

“I mean, you know that the video lends from a lot of Rasta culture and ’80s Atari vibe and that’s what we went with too. And then afterward I was like, ‘Oh, this sucks. They tore down my video.’ And her video’s great too.

“It definitely wasn’t trying to rip anybody off at all — it was just our approach and the animation stuff, it had a similar vibe. We’ve seen that before with Grace Jones and Andy Warhol, so I don’t know if anybody can lay claim to anything. We’re all inspired by similar elements and it came together in that way.”

That’s what everyone says when they’re called out on their blatant copying “inspiration.”

We wonder what M.I.A. has to say about it?

What do U think?
