Northern Ireland farmer Alan Graham says he doesn’t know who singer Rihanna is, but she must keep her top on while performing on his land.
Rihanna, 23, flew to Northern Ireland over the weekend to shoot a video for “We Found Love”, the first single from her forthcoming 6th album, due Nov.21st.
During the video shoot Monday, set in Graham’s wheat field, Rihanna is forced to change clothes outside. She dons an American flag bikini and a bandana style bikini and jeans.
During one costume change, farmer Alan Graham saw more than he wanted.
Reportedly, Rihanna switched from a flannel checked shirt into a stars-and-stripes bikini, a red bra, a mesh black top, and finally went topless before Graham climbed off his tractor to protest.
“I have an ethos and I felt it was inappropriate,” Graham told the BBC. “I requested them to stop and they did.”
Graham said he granted permission for Rihanna and her film crew to use his field even though he wasn’t familiar with her music, which includes the hits “S&M” and “Disturbia.”
The shoot, for Rihanna’s new single “We Found Love,” has resumed in a different location, according to reports.
The two parted on good terms, according to Graham, shaking hands as he went on his way.
Graham says “I had a conversation with Rihanna. I hope she understands where I’m coming from. We shook hands.”
“I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends,” he said later. “Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God.”
