Rihanna’s new “Russian Roulette” single has garnered significant attention in beginning the build for her upcoming album release.
But the latest buzz comes from an unlikely source–former WWE performer and ECW boss Paul Heyman.
According to Heyman, the edgy art used on the cover of Rihanna’s new single appears copied from the 1998 ECW “Extreme Music” album release.
“It’s pretty obvious this was copied from, or at least extremely inspired by the ECW album cover,” said Heyman in an interview with The UK Sun. “From the barbed wire and the right arm up in the air to the blood dripping off the logo.”
Added Heyman, “Hey, I don’t blame them. If you’re going to copy someone, copy from the best.”
Heyman’s “Heyman Hustle” website features the two images head-to-head here.
Heyman is the man. First of all, he’s right. That album cover is a ripoff. Second of all, he’s smart. That album cover has worldwide publicity, and he reached out and touched Rihanna. Booya!
Not the same at all. Hot chick wrapped completely in black barbed wire and sporting an eye patch made of leather. Chunky, corn fed redneck with barely visible silver barbed wire and no eye patch. Not the same, sorry.
