Rihanna Defends Controversial Video for 'Man Down': "NEW YORK — Rihanna is defending her latest music video, which opens with a man being shot in the head.
'Man Down,' which premiered Tuesday on BET, is a song about a girl who shoots her lover in public. The video also portrays sexual assault.
On Tuesday, the Parents Television Council called the clip 'disturbing' and asked BET to stop airing it.
But on Thursday's '106 & Park,' BET's music video countdown show, Rihanna said the video is 'art with a message.'
'We just wanted to hone in on a very serious matter that people are afraid to address, especially if you've been victimized in this scenario,' Rihanna said."
