Rihanna’s new video features rape and killing her abuser
Rihanna has released the video for her new song Man Down and it seems likely to stir controversy because the star is shooting a man.
At the beginning of the video, Rihanna chases the man and shoots him in the back, in a train station, then looks at his corpse.
The video, shot in Kingston, Jamaica, then goes back to what happened a day before the incident. Rihanna is riding a bicycle, talking with friends and dancing in a club. Later, however, the star is struggling with a man who seems to rape her.
Rihanna said she had always wanted to shoot a video in Jamaica, and the song Man Down couldn’t have a video filmed elsewhere.
The star, who was a victim of domestic violence herself, posted a message on Twitter about the significance of the video.
“Its #Gritty #GULLY #Emotional #JAMRock Very strong underlying message 4 girls like me! #listentoyomama,” she wrote.
Rihanna’s previous video for the song S & M has sparked much controversy and was banned in several countries because it contains scenes inspired by sado-masochistic and fetishistic techniques that are too shocking.

i’m not saying she doesn’t deserve her status as a celebrity but she definitely wouldn’t be this big if it wasn’t for all the controversy she’s been causing. fact is controversy sells really well and makes it easier for them to get the attention and lack of morality that come with it..
