Rihanna has already appeared on several magazine covers this year, but her latest is a special one, as she has been named one of "The Greats" by T Magazine of The New York Times. RiRi is listed among a select group of auteurs that includes Quentin Tarantino, German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, author Jonathan Franzen, "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen, and health technology entrepreneur Elizabeth Holmes.

For her T Magazine profile, Rihanna was interviewed by author and filmmaker Miranda July, who asked the "Bitch Better Have My Money" phenom about her love life, among other things. Due to the level of attention that a male partner requires, Rihanna said that she doesn't have time for a relationship at this point in her career.
"Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then. I'll give it to my family, I'll give it to my work -- but I will not give it to a man right now."
Thus, if there is anything going on between Rihanna and Travi$ Scott, it would seem to be little more than a fling.
In the same interview, Rihanna revealed what kind of guys turn her on.
"I'm turned on by guys who are cultured. That'll keep me intrigued. They don't have to have a single degree, but they should speak other languages or know things about other parts of the world or history or certain artists or musicians. I like to be taught."
