Rihanna's new video for "S&M" is causing quite a stir.
UK's Daily Mirror is reporting that the clip has already been banned in 11 countries, Youtube has tagged it as "age-restricted" content, meaning you have to verify that you're over 18 to watch it. MTV are said to be considering re-editing it to make it more tame for daytime viewers. And BBC Radio One won't play the track before 7pm.
So what's all the fuss about?
“S&M is not about sex, well it’s about metaphorical sex," Rihanna said. "The video has lots of whips, chains, dominatrix leather, latex…”
Ok, that pretty much explains it, Rihanna likes it kinky, but this video pushes the envelope a little too much for many.
Nevertheless, Riri loves the video and took to Twitter to talk about it and urge fans to watch it on RihannaNow.com instead of Youtube.
"I had tons of fun in the pink zebra room! My bff M, Perez, Trannys, a hott little person and a silver fox! Can't be crazier."
The video is still doing quite well on Youtube despite being flagged, with almost 3.5 million views in just 2 days.
