Rihanna Nude For British GQ, Poses As Topless Medusa: What Would Katy Perry Say?

With Rihanna nude for British GQ as a topless Medusa we have to wonder what Katy Perry would say.

As previously reported by The Inquisitr, we won’t see Avril Lavigne nude in paparazzi photos any time soon since she prefers to follow her own fashion sense and doesn’t like sexing it up.

Rihanna and Katy Perry are described as “best friends” who are “not shy about expressing their friendship, hugging, giggling and fondling each other during award shows and on the red carpet.” Katy Perry even called Rihanna out once before on her marijuana use:

“I think Rihanna always looks so fresh and I’m like, ‘How do you do that? We all know how much pot you smoke!’ And you don’t sleep because you’re on Instagram at four o’clock in the morning.”

But recently Katy Perry claimed nude pop stars like Miley Cyrus are flaunting their “sexy card” and overusing nudity in their art:

“Like females in pop – everybody’s getting naked. I mean, I’ve been naked before but I don’t feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. I’m not talking about anyone in particular. I’m talking about all of them. I mean, it’s like everybody’s so naked. It’s like put it away. We know you’ve got it. I got it too…. I’m just saying sometimes it’s nice to play that card but also it’s nice to play other cards. And I know I have that sexy card in my deck but I don’t always have to use that card.”

So when we saw Rihanna nude as a topless Medusa for GQ we figured Katy Perry’s previous comments might stand on their own. For the cover of GQ magazine’s 25th anniversary issue, Rihanna posed with snakes placed on her head, a large reptile wrapped around her neck, and reptilian eye contacts giving her a pretty creepy visage.

Things got even weirder inside the covers since Rihanna was given (photoshopped?) a fake pair of fangs, making her look like a vampire about to take a bit of the snake she was holding. And I don’t know about you or Katy Perry, but to me licking a snake is way weirder than Miley Cyrus licking that sledgehammer in her infamous Wrecking Ball music video.

Do you think Rihanna’s nude photo shoot is using Katy Perry’s “sexy card” once too often?
