Rihanna is once again making headlines with her latest music video. We recently discussed the recording artist's controversial "Man Down" clip, which received criticism from influential groups such as the Parents Television Council. This time her video is getting much more positive attention.
According to Rolling Stone, Rihanna's music video for her latest single, "Cheers (Drink to That)", is filled with "shots of her partying backstage with friends and celebrities such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Cee Lo Green and Avril Lavigne." Indeed, the music video's unusually high amount of cameos is stirring up quite a bit of commotion in the entertainment industry.
Even MTV has reported on Rihanna's "montage of celebrations" video. According to MTV, the clip is a "a behind-the-scenes concert montage with brief cameo appearances by Avril Lavigne, Jay-Z and Kayne West" that is sure to "keep the party going for a little longer," despite the fact that the summer is winding down.
While Rihanna has been seen many times with Jay-Z and West, some expressed confusion about Lavigne's appearance in the video. MTV reports that "Cheers (Drink to That)" actually contains clips from Lavigne's 2002 single, "I'm With You", "so it's only appropriate that the visual includes sporadic blink-of-the-eye appearances from the pop rocker."
Check out the video below, and remember: Cheers to the freaking weekend!
