Rihanna quite literally directed, casted and produced BBHMM. And most other pop stars have creative directors and set/costume designers. In other words, you haven't made any groundbreaking discovery

Do you just not get the concept of a pop star? Or?

OK so basically what you two aren't understanding is that Rihanna is an entertainer, not an artist. You can steal all the credits you want on work, that doesn't make you legitimate.
Beyonce is an artist. She may steal her songwriting credits, but she is very much so in tune with the visual aspect of her career.
Lady Gaga is an artist. She writes most of her songs and once again is very much so in charge of the visuals she provides to her audience.
Sia is an artist. She writes her own music (along with Rihanna's) and creates a very unique image for herself.
Rihanna, however, is NOT an artist. She does not write her own music, she is not in control of her image, and she is solely a music label's way to attract audiences and gain revenue.
