RIHANNA says she’s not unafraid of chumming around with sharks and not just this fake great white in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine — but also any “sharks” circling around the entertainment biz.

The 26-year-old songstress who is on the cover, said: “I try my best to avoid the sharks of life, but I have had my share of experiences with them, and in those cases, I just have to handle them accordingly. But I do not swim with sharks … sharks swim with sharks.”

The superstar — whose latest video, for the song “FourFiveSeconds,” features big fish Paul McCartney and Kanye West — sure has come a long way since she was just little Robyn Rihanna Fenty on the Caribbean isle.

Back then, she says, she was big into sharks: “I was obsessed with ‘Jaws.’ Steven Spielberg was my childhood hero.”

The singer also swam with three real sand tiger sharks — in a Chanel swimsuit, no less - for the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
