the man is Oraine Barrett... he's actually a jamaican model... (he does alot of work for ralph lauren).... he was in Jamaica and he was attacked. robbed, held at gun point and then got slashed in the face.. hence the distinctive scar on the side of his face.. overall good video...
it would of been more intresting if they had the man stalk her from the beginning to the dramatic rape scene. instead of just throwing it in the end. oh well, i like the song :)
I have been on set where they actually say okay these people will be the "ghetto people" and put darker skin blacks together for a shot on set. Hollywood is very racist they care about race even if you don’t.
Why are people bringing race into it?? It doesn't matter if he is dark skin or light skin at the end of the day BLACK IS BLACK! This is why white people don't respect us because we don't respect ourselves smh!
She should have tanned before shooting the video, she looks so white beside all the people in that video at list shee dance like a caribbean gal lol that will never change
I do not like that she used a dark skin man to show rape in this video and a light skin man for California king bed showing love. Her abuse came at the hands of a light skin man .Stop using darker skin blacks to show cruelty and abuse, stop putting fear in America’s heart with these false perceptions.

I agree that she does look scary in some points (like the girl from The Ring) but I think that's the point - she's supposed to look scary & disturbed. She's portraying a woman who was raped & just killed a man. I love this song. Can't wait to hear her perform it live.
i love it! she always have a message behind what she does and when she try to deliver that ppl arent ready! just like s&m vid they wasnt ready and def aint ready for this! love me sum RIRI!
The fear in her eyes is apparent! It was greatly acted out and the video is soo symbolic and lovely....And this was shot in the perfect place. Everything is just right in this video. Perfection <3
I liked it, something really different, and how do you not get it? lol he raped and beat her, the next day she saw him or waited for him and shot/killed him lol sheesh.
only talented artist can affect so much, im almost in cry. I understand her message: women, respect yourself and dont let badasses to harm you! great work! :)
@TikiTubeable It's a coconut and the water is known as coconut water....a very refreshing drink. what some roadside vendors do is cut the coconut, put in a straw and let u drink straight from the fruit just like Ri Ri did.....refreshing!
@iHunterHill hey there, wat was the plot exactly supposed to b? did she get raped in teh end of beat up or something? and why? y does it just end really quickly..after the kinda fight scene?....
@SolyBeatFreak more like... 90% of Jamaicans are of black heritage, and approximately a quarter of that can be considered mixed... I'm Jamaican and there's a lot more skin tone variation where I'm from what is shown in this video, but it's cool it could just be the area they filmed in - I don't know why I get hype when my country is on film :)
in this video, the implication is that he raped her. the sexy dancing in the club, she pushes him away, in the alley he forces himself on her. that's why she shot him. he deserved it.
This song really makes me think that rihanna might be a legend. like this isnt some pop bullshit, this is a song that i feel like you could look back and think "damn, what a unique talent". like bob marley
@Detrice3000 kind of what really happend to her, all of her songs befor chris brown punched her were "sweet girls songs" ..but then..rihanna got baaaaad!!!
I thought the video was ok and she looked hott, but I think there were too many unnecessary shots in in the clip. Too many shots her in the in town, on the beach, and in the water. They dragged on for too long and took away from the impact of the story.
@MBabehG4L hmmm I thought it was Barbados but whateva, she lossed cool points with that. Shoulda shot it there.
