Rihanna Pour It Up Video banned from YouTube 10 minutes after going up? Rihanna has taken the bad girl thing to a whole new level with her latest music video for her hit song “Pour It Up.” The singer’s fans have been anxious for months as they were waiting for Rihanna to drop the music video. After teasing them with photos from the video shoot, Rihanna finally dropped the highly anticipated video this past Wednesday and caused all sorts of chatter to start up as quite a few people felt the singer took things way too far this time around. And apparently so did the folks over at Vevo. According to InStyle UK, Rihanna’s new “Pour It Up” video was just a little too raunchy for Vevo’s taste as the video went private within 10 minutes of it hitting the Internet. Of course both Rihanna and her Navy were highly upset with Vevo for snatching her video from the web in a matter of minutes. And Rihanna took to her Twitter account to express her anger and tweeted:
“IN TEN PHUCKING MINUTES BRO?”
Vevo wasn’t against giving Rihanna’s new video another chance on the web as they requested for the singer to provide them with a less explicit, more Internet-friendly version. Rihanna took them up on the offer and responded by saying:
“I’ll have it right to you.”
Rihanna did supposedly water down the video somewhat but apparently it’s not much different than what it originally looked like. In the video, Rihanna is rocking a diamante bra similar to the one she wore in Barbados this past summer for Carnival. And as far her dances moves are concerned, Rih is showing off her pole dancing moves and tossing money up in the air.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, check out Rihanna’s “Pour It Up” video below:
Why make a video that won’t get played on TV??
What a boring and tasteless video.
People just don’t understand Rih already won with this video. See how we’re still talking about it?
That’s a rather clueless comment to make. Miley twerked at the VMAs on AUGUST 25th. See how everyone is still talking about it? Rihanna dropped her porn advertisement..I mean “music” video a couple of days ago. Of course people are still talking about it.
The things people do for attention.
I’m sure that made her feel big and bad.
The thirst is real…
Sexism let it been a Lil Wayne Video or any male rapper with hoes in the background it wouldn’t been a problem. Whenever a woman is portraying a go getter, diva, money maker, female player its always drama. Rihanna’s always been raunchy nothing has changed except for getting more raunchy. No matter what haters say about her she still among the most relevant in the game with a net worth higher than any male rapper out except Jay Z. P.S. I’m not a die hard RiRi fan I rep for the Beyhive but Rihanna is in my top five and nobody cannot say she isn’t one of the biggest pop stars of the 21st century.
Men don’t have to strip naked and twerk on stripper poles. It’s a desperate act and women need to do better. Stop letting the industry pimp you ladies.
All that and it still wasn’t a good video.
90% of porn and 1% music.Clear and simple.If feel like we’re taking 2 steps back again, cuz female artists are taken as back again with this Sexism sh-t.Instead of empower women they’re seding the message to women to whore themselves is do way to go and be sucessful.This is why I admire and stan for Beyonce,Adele,Jennifer Hudson,Jill Scott,etc, who only use their vocal talent to impress and sell records.
Trashy and pathetic.
Hot A-s Mess is all I have to say about this video. It so so degrading. Like, what were you really thinking when you made this video. Ugh
When is Beyoncé uplifting? She is on the same boat nothing about her is classy. Her a-s popping is Tina knowledge creation attire doesn’t scream anything righteous. These women today all sell SEX. 90s era please come back.
Yawns. The 90s was just as slutty. The 90s is over, get over it.
Sometimes I wonder, Are you guys writing your opinion or passing judgement.. I swear your write things as if it is a fact…
Yall don’t know this girl from a can of paint, yet still you comment as if you’re speaking a fact..
No, I’m not Navy.. I’m just sick of of the same people saying the same thing about the same people, all the time…
Yall actually have time for dat??? lol
We’re writing our thoughts and opinions on the subject of the post, just like you are right now. I don’t know why anyone else’s opinion bothers you that much that you keep bringing it up on Rihanna posts. For you to swear you aren’t Navy, you sure do take these comments to heart every time I read a comment from you. Oh the irony…And yes, we’re on here killing time just like you are. Your point?
Girl goodbye! You ought to be thankful there’s still a handful of women left in the world that want more from female artists. You ought to be thankful that there’s still some women out here that feel women shouldn’t have to get naked, twerk and dangle off stripper poles to succeed in the music business. That’s the problem now. Women are so messed up that when you see someone talking sense on here because they are tired of being reduced to sexual objects and black whores for a record deal, you should just respect it. Too many of yall have no standards and can’t even recognize when something is wrong anymore. So yall bring up the whole judging card like young children who despise the truth and can’t deal with opinions you don’t agree with. No one on here is saying anything that isn’t the obvious, the video was disgusting and has set women all the way back. You on here defending a black woman being reduced to twerking and looking like a hooker to make a music video. We deserve better period but that won’t happen if people can’t even say the obvious without people needing a box of tissues on here.
Yeah, you’re a Rihanna fan. That’s the only reason your overreaction and over-analyzation on this post can be justified. About 99.9% of the comments on here are about the MUSIC VIDEO. My goodness, this blog used to be a place people can write what they really believed and disagree without people taking it so personally. What happened? And I’m not talking to all of the Navy on here, SMH, Navy, and Get Busy can come on here and debate and don’t catch feelings…my bad for thinking that was normal.
For the record, the music video is raunchy. You can’t be shocked people don’t have nice things to say about it. #shrugs
Yall it’s just a music video! I think she’s so misunderstood! Love Rihanna!
