Rihanna certainly knows how to get people talking... Her latest video for single S&M has just been deemed 'inappropriate' by streaming site YouTube.

REMEMBER WHEN RIHANNA USED TO LOOK LIKE THIS?

Released on Tuesday, the raunchy video sees Ri going all out in suspenders, latex bondage costumes and bunny ears, sharing lesbian kisses and being tied up - while singing the lyrics: 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me.'

One notable scene also shows celebrity blogger Perez Hilton on all fours, being whipped and walked like a dog by Rihanna.

Now YouTube have deemed the video 'inappropriate' due to the levels of nudity and adult images on display, and have implemented a warning which flags up with the single, asking users to sign in and confirm they are over 18.
