Rihanna’s not what you’d call shy. She is, incidentally, what you’d call topless. Often.
This week, Rihanna‘s been posting a series of bare-chested photographs on her Instagram account – most of them from a Vogue Brazil editorial, all of them gorgeous. The coy Hand-Bra style ones were allowed to stay – like this one here.
But when 26-year-old Ri-Ri posted a photo with her nipples showing, Instagram officially banned it and took it down from her profile.
Rihanna and her 13 million fans obviously strongly believe that The Nipples Ri-Ri should be free and untethered by the laws of Instagram. So they’ve responded to the banning decision in a number of pretty-cool ways.
But first, here’s the photo that was banned (nipples blurred). She’s on the cover of Lui magazine, who clearly do not have a No Nudity policy.
Here’s the illustrated version a super-fan drew so that Rihanna could still have her nipples – illustrated though they are – on Instagram.
And here’s the meme Rihanna posted, also made by a fan. It’s Ri-Ri’s face superimposed on a photo from the ’80s, obviously.
And, finally, to really prove her point – that The Nipples Ri-Ri deserve an airing – Rihanna posted a photograph of a bus with the magazine cover on it.
Man, this bus really makes Instagram look like a prude.
And if you need some more Rihanna time, here she is again…

Hi guys. The bus photo was taken in France. The French love naked bodies. That's why they wouldn't be ashamed to put it on a bus. Believe me. My dad is French and he always spoke about how beautiful the naked body is. It's not until I went to France last year that I realised they really embraced it.

This is a non-issue. Instagram's rules are quite clear. Rihanna broke them, so her picture got taken down. Boohoo for her. She and her fans need to get over it. The picture is on the front of a magazine. Either buy the magazine or look at the photo at one of the many sites that are publishing it uncensored. I saw it at Jezebel yesterday afternoon but I've seen it pop up at other sites since.
