Rihanna Song Toned Down For BBC Radio Broadcast!
Bosses at the BBC have defended their decision to play a radio-friendly version of Rihanna‘s controversial track S&M – because the special edit of the song was provided by her record company!
The singer 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 (6th February, 2011) as Come On.
Posting on her Twitter account, she rages:
“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 tells WENN:
“We couldn’t play the edit we had so we asked the record label and they provided us with a radio edit.”
