Singer Rihanna has released a shocking music video of one of her latest songs, B***h better have my money, where she is seen naked and dripping with blood.

The 27-year-old singer is seen kidnapping and tormenting a woman in the music video, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The morbidity continues with the introduction of Mads Mikkelsen, the leading actor of TV show Hannibal, as "The Accountant", who is bound to a chair and murdered, before Rihanna finally gets her money and soaks in the rays while covered in his blood, naked.

The Diamonds hitmaker looks stunning throughout the video, which she has directed alongside Megaforce, with producers Bridgitte Pugh and Ciarra Pardo.

Rihanna now has the most Digital Single Awards, and is the first and only artist to surpass RIAA's 100 million cumulative singles award threshold, according to a statement issued by RIAA on Thursday.
