Rihanna's “S&M” Video Is Banned In 11 Countries

Immediately after Rihanna dropped her “S&M” video on Tuesday, people started talking about how controversial it was… like the song isn’t called “S&M”.

By Wednesday, it had been banned in 11 countries and the U.K.’s BBC 1 Radio said listeners won’t hear the song before 7pm. Which, to the video’s director Melina Moustakas, means she and Rihanna did their job.

“When I go out to make something, I kind of go out with the intention to get it banned — [well] not to get it banned, I always want my stuff played — but to make something provocative,” Matsoukas told MTV News. “So when you do something that’s provocative, that’s usually a repercussion. It’s gonna be talked about or banned or slandered in some way. But it’s making an effect and people are having a dialogue about it, so, to me, that’s successful.”

For Matsoukas, it’s the video’s harshest critics who are the most amusing.

“I mean, the song is called ‘S&M’!” she laughed. “So I think that the imagery follows suit with what the song is. I wouldn’t play down the imagery for a song that’s so strong. It makes sense to develop it further and really take it there. So if they don’t want to play it, [fans] can watch it somewhere else.”

One of those places airing the video uncensored is MTV. Matsoukas, who previously directed Rihanna’s “Rude Boy” and “Rockstar 101″ clips and Beyoncé’s “Why Don’t You Love Me,” said it’s the first time MTV hasn’t requested changes to one of her videos.

Juelz Santana Calls His Arrest A Joke

Dipset's own Juelz Santana recently was on New York Hip Hop Radio station Hot 97 to speak about his recent incarceration, defending his image. Yesterday (February 3rd), Juelz explained what went down earlier this week.

"I'm a free man out on bail," Santana told radio host Angie Martinez. "I'm just doing my regular thing, I'm still me. It's just an unfortunate situation, got caught up...They raided my studio, said things was going on. The charges was just kind of crazy...For one, I wasn't even in my studio when they raided. They raided my studio, they found whatever they want to say they found, and they just put a bunch of charges on me...They had a warrant out for my arrest since last week. I had just turned myself in and I was supposed to be out right there -- but once I get in there, they're like, 'Oh, the computers is down because of the ice storms and all that.' I'm like, 'Wow.' ... I'm definitely going to be fighting this, because like I said, they didn't catch me with nothing. My studio is a place where a bunch of people come in and out. They put me out as selling dime bags of weed. That's a joke! ... I wasn't even there. Never in the case of history would you find Juelz selling no dime bags of marijuana." (Hot 97)
