The Pride of Barbados continues to shake things up overseas. Rihanna is outraged after learning her controversial track “S&M” has been renamed “Come On” by the UK’s BBC Radio 1, presumably because of the sexual connotations affiliated with the song’s original title.
The latest single from Rihanna’s Loud LP features risque lyrics about sex, whips and chains. Just days after the song’s video promo — in which she sucks on a banana and ties a man to a bed — was banned in 11 countries and censored on YouTube, it was introduced to listeners under its alternative title by Radio 1 DJ Reggie Yates on Sunday.
Oh — did we forget to mention that song had been banned from airing on The BBC’s flagship station before 7 PM?
A bewildered Rihanna was alerted to the change by a fan, who inquired about the name change via Twitter: “Are you fucking kidding me?” she replied. Another fan asked if she was okay with the title change, to which she firmly stated: “Absolutely NOT!” According to MTV News, the UK’s Official Charts Company, who compile the country’s chart stats, was also unaware of the change.
