You don’t hear this every day! A man asking Rihanna to cover UP? What in the world? RiRi is out in Ireland filming her latest video “We Found Love” on location at a local farm, and the owner of the farm isn’t completely pleased with the sight. Ms. Fenty went from a flannel checked shirt into a stars-and-stripes bikini, a red bra, a mesh black top and finally went topless before the farmer, Alan Graham, had enough. Read about what went down after the jump.
Mr Graham – a member of the Democratic Unionist Party and Alderman for North Down Borough council, – objected to the raunchy sight and asked for filming to be halted.
The DUP is the larger of the two main unionist political parties in Northern Ireland. Founded by religious firebrand Ian Paisley Snr and currently led by Peter Robinson.
It has strong links to Protestant churches, particularly the Free Presbyterian Church of Ulster, the church Paisley founded, and is considered a Protestant political party.
Mr Graham had agreed that one of his fields could be used for yesterday’s recording but was not aware what the production team had in mind for the pop superstar when they moved to an adjoining piece of land.
The father of four said: ‘She understood where I was coming from. We shook hands and parted company on good terms.’
Earlier he had used his tractor to help pull free some recording equipment which got stuck in mud. He also helped fill in a hole with some of his straw.
Mr Graham, who owns 60 acres at Clandeboye outside Bangor, added: ‘I realised things had got to a stage which were not acceptable to me, Things became inappropriate and I asked the film crew to stop.
‘I never heard of Rihanna until someone called me requesting the use of my land. I knew on Monday who she was. Someone explained she was as big as it gets as far as pop stars were concerned. I am a bit illiterate about those issues.
‘If someone wants to borrow my field and things become inappropriate, then I say: “Enough is enough. You are not entitled to do that”.
‘There was no firm arrangement about borrowing the field. Everything was done on an ad hoc basis.
My expectations were not made clear to him (the man who requested use of the field), and everything that was going to take place was not made clear to me. To be fair to the people involved in asking for the field, I don’t think they were aware either of what would take place.
‘There was no agreement as such beforehand. I have not received any payment at this moment in time and I don’t know if I will be paid.
