Fiji television has banned Rihanna's latest music video for being too raunchy.Fiji's Minister of Education, Hon Filipe Bole, said the video involved "raunchy scenes that make one's stomach cringe with disgust".
"To expose [young children] to adulterated music clips ... is no less than showing pornographic materials to them," he said.
He called for Fiji's free-to-air TV station Fiji One to be more responsible in selecting the programs it aired.
As a result, Fiji TV group chief executive Tarun Patel agreed to remove Rihanna's video from Fiji One's playlist.
"We have advised our programming team that this video clip 'Te Amo' featuring Rihanna will no longer be broadcast in on our free-to-air channel," he said in statement.
Patel also stated that Fiji One will use a tighter screening process to decide what videos it would play in the future.
