R&B star Rihanna has caused a stir this week by unveiling the risqué video for her latest single, S&M. The video has been banned by regulating authorities in 11 countries (so far) and has been deemed inappropriate by YouTube, who have given it an 18+ age restriction.
The S&M video depicts the Barbadian singer dressed in latex and holding a press conference for journalists who are gagged with rubber choke balls...controversial stuff. Another highlight features celebrity blogger Perez Hilton playing canine as he is dragged by the lead, rolling around subserviently forthe 'Umbrella' star.
Unsurprisingly with lyrics such as"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me", the song has been provisionally banned from daytime broadcast by BBC radio. Speaking on the single, a spokesperson from the BBC said:"We are waiting for an edited version before deciding whether it will be played in the daytime."
The news comes during an already eventful week for Rihanna, as nude pictures of the singer reportedly emerged online this week. The snaps have been circulated by a number of major celebrity bloggers, but Rihanna is yet to make a statement regarding the validity of the pictures.
Meanwhile, the singer has announced that she will be performing at the Grammy awards in February alongside herWhats My Name? hitmaker Drake. The pair were confirmed as the official Grammys Twitter channel posted earlier this week:"OFFICIAL& for our fans first: @Rihanna to perform w/ Drake (@drakkardnoir) at 53rd GRAMMYs!"
The pair will join the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Eminem and Cee Lo Green at the prestigious ceremony in Los Angeles next month.
