Why does Rihanna in her music treat men like objects yet still expect them to provide for her?

She's just selling an image to other women who want to buy into the same narrative and, ofc, there are still plenty of men with low enough self-esteem to think their only value is as a provider.

And considering her relationship history and the content of her songs, I don't think she has the healthiest outlook when it comes to finding romance, or at the very least is certainly not selling a healthy outlook on romance. Her schtick really is pretty much being the toxic self-destructive girl in a cycle of bad relationships.

I feel like she's a very tepid example of sexism in the music industry, especially when the rap scene circa 1990-2005 was rife with songs about feeling up skirts, getting girls drunk to make them more pliable, hell, some basically just describe rape, literal rape.

I'll say that there's no place in a civilised society for material which treats any gender, race, sexuality etc as a monolithic stereotype, but Rihanna is just such a lukewarm example.
