It was an itsy-bitsy, teeny weeny, red handkerchief bikini and it might have gotten Rihanna kicked out of grain field. KSAZ reports an Irish farmer told Rihanna to put her clothes back on.
“A guy by the name of Alan Graham said okay as long as you follow the dress code. Well, she didn't follow the code. She started with a flannel shirt; but took it off and Graham, who happened to be on his tractor, hopped off and had a serious talk.
According to Graham, the Rude Boy singer behaved herself while performing in front of a crowd -- but she got more comfortable later in the day. He explains on the BBC:
“Most of the video took place adjacent to a main road which is a public place. It was when the film crew went to a further-away field that I felt things were getting inappropriate...
The issue was that I felt, she was in a more state of undress than a bikini top.”
If Graham wasn’t clear, she was topless; but Rhianna is known for edgy videos such as her S&M video that was banned in eleven countries. So should Graham have known what to expect? According to ITV, Graham didn’t know the singer’s work:
“[Graham] agreed that one of his fields could be used for yesterday's recording but was not aware what the production team had in mind … He said today ... "I never heard of Rihanna until someone called me requesting the use of my land.”
Reports say there’s no beef between Rihanna and the farmer, but the religious father-of-four did have some advice for her. Us Weekly quotes him as saying...
“I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends ... Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God.”
But throwing religion into the mix has a writer for Now Magazine stirred up -- saying the farmer is the one out of bounds.
“Someone should have told the farmer that just a few days ago Rihanna visited a Brazilian chapel at the famous Christ The Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro. Probably best to leave out the bit about the C-word necklace she was wearing at the time...”
Rihanna finished the shoot in a different field. Graham says he hasn’t been paid yet and isn’t sure if he will be.
