Video Preview: Rihanna – Rude Boy

Thursday is just too far away for Rihanna fans. We’re dying to see the full video for Rih’s latest irresistible pop concoction, “Rude Boy.”

A few hot photos from the set were of the Melina-directed video were released yesterday, but it only heightened our need to see the clip. Today, we get a small sneak peek — oh, and I mean small — at the vid Rihanna calls “completely different from any other video I’ve shot before.”

The pop star looks like some kinda sexy ensemble cast member straight out of Lion King: The Musical, wearing a black and white bodysuit and platform heels as she sits on top a zebra.

It’s just one of the many scenes we’re sure to be talking about for days after the video premieres in full on February 11 on VEVO.com.
