According to reports, former Spice Girl Mel C has termed some of Rihanna’s music videos and stage performances as being “inappropriate”.
Speaking to the Mirror newspaper Mel C stated: "It’s a very hot topic at the moment and is something we do have to talk about. People have to take some responsibility because we’ve got to a point where over-sexualisation of young children has gone too far.
"I think music is a big part of that. Women in music, very successful women, are extremely sexual and they have young fans. It is inappropriate."
When asked how the Spice Girls dealt with criticism that they were ‘too sexual’ for their young fans Mel stated: "It's a long time ago since the Spice Girls were first together and we were criticized for being sexual. Yes we wore crop tops, look how much has changed, but we always sat down as a group and if somebody felt something was inappropriate for our young fans, we did something about it."
She added: "I think that's something young people in the music industry today, like Rihanna, should do now".
Mel C is in the process of releasing her fifth studio album entitled The Sea - which marks her first new material in four years.
