London, Sep 28 (IANS): Singer Rihanna was ordered to cover up her skimpy outfits during a video shoot in a muddy field because a local farmer deemed her racy costumes "inappropriate".

The 23-year-old was filming a promo for her new track "We Found Love" on agricultural land in Bangor, Northern Ireland Monday. She was spotted wearing a variety of sexy garments including a red bikini beneath an unbuttoned shirt, and a cropped black mesh top.

But camera crews were forced to halt the shoot when the farmer named Alan Graham complained about Rihanna's outfits.

"I thought it was inappropriate. I requested them to stop and they did. I had my conversation with Rihanna and I hope she understands where I'm coming from. We shook hands.

"From my point of view, it was my land, I have an ethos and I felt it was inappropriate. I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God" femalefirst.co.uk quoted Graham as saying.
