BBC defends Rihanna track
Written by admin on February 13, 2011 – 11:54 pm
BOSSES at the BBC have defended a radio-friendly version of Rihanna’s controversial track S&M, saying the special edit of the song was provided by her record company.
Rihanna reacted with fury after learning her latest single – which features risque lyrics about sex, whips and chains – was introduced to Radio 1 listeners on Sunday as Come On.
Taking to her Twitter.com page, she raged, “Are you f**king kidding me??? I’m on it!”
But BBC chiefs have spoken out about the toned-down track, revealing Rihanna’s music bosses provided a risk-free radio edit of the song so younger listeners could hear it on the airwaves.
A BBC spokeswoman told WENN, “We couldn’t play the edit we had so we asked the record label and they provided us with a radio edit.”
