Someone is twerking in their new music video and for once, it’s not Miley Cyrus.

Rihanna released the music video for her song, “Pour It Up,” on Wednesday and it is exactly what you’d expect. Clad in bedazzled lingerie that leaves little to the imagination, she spends the majority of the video sitting (among other things) on a throne surrounded by strippers and money. Add in the excessive twerking and you have the makings of a very uncomfortable three minutes.

And we really should’ve seen this coming. In the days leading up to the premiere, Rihanna released sneak peeks featuring stripper auditions and pole dancing lessons. Insert head shaking here.

Not to mention the fact that female popular music videos seem to be taking a turn for the racy. Whether it’s the clothing, the dancing or the props (giant teddy bears, anyone?), they’re all trying to one up each other in making the most bizarre video. Though Miley Cyrus is leading the charge with the videos for “We Can’t Stop,” and “Wrecking Ball,” it’s safe to say that Rihanna is not far behind.

Rihanna is known for having racy music videos, but this one takes the cake. And not just any cake, but the kind where a stripper pops out (and starts twerking). Here is the video if you’d like to behold the madness, but viewer discretion advised.
