Rihanna unveiled her upcoming album's title name and cover art on Thursday, Oct. 11.

Known for never shying away in front of a camera, the pop singer gave the album a title that helps explain her naughty antics.

The "S&M" singer posted on Instagram the album cover art, which features a topless RihRih, and its title, "Unapologetic." For censorship purposes, she has one elbow covering one breast and the album is designed with a graffiti-style group of words adorning her body. "Love," "Happy," "Fearless," "Fun," "Diamonds," "Side Effects," "Censored," "Victory" and other words appear all over her body.

The 24-year-old tweeted a link to the Instagram image on Thursday.

"My NEW album "UNAPOLOGETIC" will be released on NOVEMBER 19th WORLDWIDE #Navy," she announced. She later explained via Twitter why chose the album title.

"Unapologetic = Unwilling to make or express an apology♥," she wrote.

The Twitter hashtag for her album cover, #Unapologetic, has already started trending worldwide, and Rihanna was quick to share the accomplishment with her fans.

"I really owe it to my navy gang," she tweeted. "Job well done, Rihanna Navy!"

Her fans reacted very quickly to the cover's title and art.

@Fancy_RiRi wrote, "that album cover is something special, something never seen before. I love that," and @johndepula said, " I love the name "UNAPOLOGETIC"... that's exactly what Rihanna is. the album cover is so unique tho :')"

In the comments section in the E! Online report, fans, however, gave the opposite reaction.

"Borihanna gettin naked is NOT news... she's a better stripper than a singer.... not that i'm complainin lol..."

"Isn't getting naked in front of cameras just an average Tuesday in Rhianna's life?" Nicole R. wrote. "Put some clothes on!!! I am tired of seeing her naked...smdh."

Even the pop singer retweeted one of her critics, @SbuJay_Ngalo, who said, "I seem to be against everything she does lately :'(" it's okay! Refer to: album title"
