Early last week, NBC announced that after three seasons, Hannibal was getting the ax. The Internet blew up with outrage—why is NBC canceling its best show? Why can't we have nice things? How are we going to fill this Hannibal-sized hole in our hearts?!

NOW IT ALL MAKES BLOODY SENSE. Our girl Rihannakilled him. What a turn of events. In her new video, "Bitch Better Have My Money," Riri tapped Mads Mikkelsen A.K.A. DR. HANNIBAL LECTER as THE BITCH, and holy shit, it is unreal. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor:

Obviously, this resulted in the Internet flooding itself with Rihanna/Hannibal jokes. The main theories are 1) Rihanna canceled Hannibal by killing its titular character and 2) Rihanna is bringing back Hannibal. God, I hope it's the latter. Rihanna should create a TV network just to revive Hannibal. And then she should star in it. She should play Clarice. She should play Hannibal, I don't fucking care. Anyway, here are some of the best Rihanna/Hannibal tweets:

Who knew @rihanna would be the one to finally catch Hannibal instead of Will Graham? #BBHMMVideo
DOES THIS MEAN RIHANNA WATCHES HANNIBAL WOW just when you think she can't get more perfect pic.twitter.com/lGJxzgAJoL
of course rihanna had the balls to do what will graham and scully and laurence fishbourne and everyone else on hannibal couldn't
I really hope this is NBC right now #BBHMM #Hannibal pic.twitter.com/1uYnZGwPdJ
What if this is how Bryan Fuller chooses to end #Hannibal #BBHMM
DID RIHANNA CANCEL HANNIBAL?
Rihanna's new video is a very elaborate campaign to save Hannibal.
NBC canceled Hannibal because @rihanna didn't get her money #BBHMM 💰 💰 💰
