Rihanna and Drake Work hard to raise the heat at the Brits

Rihanna ruffled feathers this week when she released a pretty sexually explicit video for her track with Drake, Work.

The pair performed the song together tonight, where Rihanna crotch grabbed and gyrated on the rapper.

In the second video for the track, which starts immediately after the first on YouTube, the 28-year-old twerks on Drake, grinding against him in a steamy sequence.

At one point, viewers reckon Drake, 29, is supposed to be simulating a sex act with the star as she lap dances while he reclines on a sofa.

YouTube put an age restriction on the video, as it was deemed inappropriate for younger viewers. Her nipples are visible throughout.

Fans blasted the video for being “degrading” and “using sex to sell” online.

It’s not the first time Rihanna has been deemed too raunchy – she drew requests to cover up on Instagram over risque images from near-naked magazine shoots in 2014.

She broke away from Nivea in 2012 after their new parent company deemed her too steamy for the brand.

But in 2011, Ofcom ruled that while Rihanna’s pre-watershed X Factor performance “featured some gentle thrusting” it was “suitably limited”. Her S&M video also had complaints, after she suggestively ate a banana.
