It was with funny or to some the unfunny man Russell Brand. Rihanna recalled the incident for an interview with Australian magazine Cleo.

"I first met him when he was interviewing me on TV. I was sick and it was the worst interview I've ever done. I was throwing up in a bucket and a doctor gave me a shot in my butt. Nothing was funny to me. I thought it was the most stupid f---ing interview I ever did in my f---ing life. Why am I talking to this idiot? He made me want to throw up again.Then we did another interview on MTV and I realized he was funny. I was probably a complete b---h, but only months afterwards did I get it."
