You better believe Oprah Winfrey asked all these questions and more when she sat down with the singer last month in Barbados to tape an upcoming episode of Oprah's Next Chapter, which is set to premiere on Aug. 19 on the OWN network.
This will be the two ladies' first formal interview, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Rihanna's had a few huge months. Aside from releasing her sixth studio album in November (Talk That Talk), she starred in her first feature-length film (Battleship) and managed to spend a brief stint in the hospital for "exhaustion" and "dehydration."
Oh, and of course there was the fight at W.i.P nightclub in June, that sources say started when singer Drake taunted ex-boyfriend Chris about bedding Rihanna.
