The Many Woes of Riri’s S&M

First the S&M music video has been banned in several countries then You Tube places a restriction on the video for people under 18. These are just some of the woes that have followed the release of Riri’s S&M (3rd single from “Loud”) video

The most recent is that Rihanna real name Robyn Fenty ripped off David LaChappele’s work in the S&M Music video. The video is reportedly is similar to images taken by the photographer in (LaChappele) his previous works.

Peep the picture at M is for Music and be the judge, if you think the visuals are a rip off or not.

But seriously people can be so hypocritical and sentimental at times. When Lady Gaga (i have nothing against her #justSaying) shows skin or goes nude in her Music Videos (see Love Game) and pictures it is called art bur Riri does not go to that extent and people are making a fuss….purhlease.

Also we don’t hear Madonna complaining about Lady Gaga rip-offs of her but when it is Rihanna everyone goes kaboom.

On the bright side UK rising star Jessie J took to twitter yesterday to express her love for the buzz generating video

“Just watched @rihanna new video L.O.V.E.I love the humor in it and she look incredible. Still one of my icons”
