Rihanna accused of plagiarism

Really, the last clip of Rihanna, shot to promote her latest single M & M never stops to generate controversy. First scandal: Rihanna offers a spectacle of debauchery, too hot for some. Youtube has banned less than 18 years, and many countries have simply not broadcast! Extremely rare in the world of song, and in the career of a public singer.

Admittedly, the lyrics are at least gratin: "Sex in the air, I love this smell, sticks and stones may break my bones well. Chains and whips excite me ..." But today, here's a new controversy swells. Rihanna she plagiarized one of the most famous photographers in the world to stage his video? Yes, according to several witnesses who saw the shooting or who shot the clip.

David LaChapelle plagiarized? Perez Hilton, the blogger known as the United States who participated in the filming of the clip (shown to be a walk on a leash by Rihanna) is not gentle with the pretty singer. On his Twitter account, it says: "The next time you make a video clip by David Lachapelle, you probably should hire David Lachapelle.

During the presentation of the clip to the press, many commentators were quick to point out the many similarities between some scenes and pictures of the artist, published in 2002 in the famous fashion magazine Vogue. For now, the singer did not react to defend themselves, and the photographer did not know his views.

But the charge of plagiarism seems to be true, as several people who attended the video shoot argue that the technical staff, including director Melina Matsoukis had their hands the series of photographs by David LaChapelle.
