Umm off the top of my head:
- GGGB: Rihanna came up with the idea to cut her hair, She wanted something different and was tired of the "innocent" look she had with MOTS/AGLM

- Rated R: Rih was very much involved this era. The label wanted her to continue with the Pop sound off GGGB but she told them No and didn't want to do that because it wouldn't have felt real (considering she was in a dark place in her life) Lyrically she worked alongside the writers and like Anthony said she was involved in the videos.

- TTT: The tomboy fashion is all Rih. Growing up she was a tomboy so she's more comfortable with being casual and dressing down. BC it was her idea to put Chris on it. They label didn't know about its release and didn't approve of it (which is why they didn't put it on iTunes)

- UNA: at this point I think DJ lets Rihanna do whatever. Cause I just don't see how a label who has full control over Rih (the biggest popstar on the label) willingly lets her era stall halfway.
She co-wrote many of the songs on the album and was involved in PIU and WN videos. (The concept was her ideas)

Ha Im watching RHOA too, do you know if Rihanna gets paid when movies use her songs in previews. Or does she not get royalty checks because she didn't write it?
- Im sure they needed permission to use it right?

When it comes to albums
Rihanna just has camps of writers and producers where her label just flies everyone in L.A. and they create demos for Rihanna. Rihanna will tell them what she wants and they create it. Most of the time when she receives the songs, she makes changes to the lyrics and such which is why she has credits often). Sometimes when it's someone who she is close to that is writing she will be more involved in the writing process.

Tour, performances, videos, photoshoot and all that.
Rihanna and her team have brainstorms. They throw ideas out and they picked the one that's the best and VOILA. (Which is how 777 tour was created)

Perfumes
Well I know for the first one, Rihanna actually came in the meeting with the perfume designers with her own mix that she created using 5 existing perfumes. I don't know if it was the same for the 3 others.
