Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Gets in the Sheets for ‘California King Bed’ Video

Rihanna is taking it to the bedroom in her latest music video. The pop siren has filmed the steamy visuals for “California King Bed,” the next single from her platinum album Loud.

RiRi was on set earlier this month shooting scenes as Roc Nation boss Jay-Z looked on while puffing on a Cuban cigar. The sexy clip will be underwitten by skincare brand Nivea, who hired the red-haired singer as its spokeswoman.

Rolling Stone describes a scene where she caresses a male model while lying in bed. She selected her hunky co-star after viewing applicants on the Internet, handpicking the one with the best abs. “Hi, I’m Rihanna, nice to meet you. No boners!” she jokingly told Nathan, whom she selected.

Rihanna will join Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles to perform The Runners-produced ballad live for the first time at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday, April 3, in Las Vegas.

I love Rihanna but I want to see a different type of video other than the over sexual stuff. CKB is a slow, heartfelt ballad. I want to capture emotion in this video.

@Flexxx, When I listen to the song and I hear the lyrics sexual doesn’t come across. A little sensual connection that’s long distance but okay.

@RAH RAH,

How about you let the damn video come out before you complain about it?

@Why So Pressed?, The song is about her longing for her man in the bed, so obviously the video will be sexual.. its not a sad song, its just a song about a girl missing her man with memories of what it was like in that CKB.. ANyways, RIHANNA always come out with the best videos cant wait to see this one xox

Hmmm..I do like this song, and I think it has potential to be a hit, but if does become a hit she is gonna have to start performing this song live and…..we all know how she sounds live. A HOT ASS MESS! SMH!

She is gonna butcher this song live! I don’t know what kind of magic tricks they pulled off in the studio to get her sound like that but we all know she could NEVER pull that off live! She should have picked a single that she could at least attempt to sing live. Although…she tends to butcher all her songs live.

I want the video to be classy sexy, not overtly sexual. After S&M I want to see a stripped back Rihanna to suit the song

Wait a minute aside from wanting to see the video which i know is going to be beautiful, didn’t anyone notice in the description that JAY-Z is there watching her film with a cigar in his mouth?! I bet his getting off on her & she doesn’t even know it! JAY-Z getting the best of both worlds i see Beyonce & Rihanna! RiRi, with in your success just keep a close eye on Jay he might be more than watch meets the eye!

I doubt the video is gonna be raunchy! It does fit the message of the song plus if Nivea is associated with it, I doubt they would want something overtly sexual! I’m wondering why Jay-Z was there! Random!!! Can’t wait for her perform it! That’s definitely her most vocally-challenging ballad yet!!! I hope she nails it at the ACM awards!!!:-*
