R&B Superstar Rihanna, who hasn’t shied away from skimpy attire and risqué innuendo and so on in her film clips and stage show is denying that a video of her having sex is doing the rounds.

According to report in the US, porn publisher Hustler has confirmed in writing that it is in possession of a sex tape which allegedly shows the ‘S&M’ singer knocking boots with Jay-Z’s latest protégé, J. Cole., who was her support act on her Loud tour this year.

According to Hustler, they have the tape in their possession, but “We have not made any decisions about what we are going to do with it yet.” Rihanna has been quick to pour cold water on the suggestion of a steamy session, tweeting “We don’t believe U, U need more people…AND of course an actual sextape! #slownewsday.”

This is despite Hustler’s statement to US media saying “Hustler are in possession of the Rihanna and J Cole tape.” Either way it’s sure to further confuse fans, with Rihanna’s attempts to ‘sex up’ her image with her song “S&M’ and its associated imagery contradicting the film clip director’s claims that it’s not about sex, rather it’s about her “sadomasochist relationship with the press… it isn’t just about a bunch of whips and chains.”

That is despite Rihanna telling an interviewer from Rolling Stone “Being submissive in the bedroom is really fun. In there I can be a little lady and have a male who has responsibility for the situation. That’s fun for me.”
