Rihanna spanked a very pregnant Slick Woods with a whip at the Savage X Fenty show last year
Remember when model Slick Woods gave birth to her baby right after her Rihanna's Savage X Fenty lingerie show in September last year? It made headlines for days - an about to pop Slick, decked up in nipple pasties, thigh-high stockings and barely-there lingerie, owning the ramp like no one else. Never before had the world seen a heavily pregnant model strut her stuff in lingerie, so confidently.
As it turns out, she was also spanked by Rihanna with a whip, right before she went into the hospital. Yes, you read that right, like rest of Twitter who just cannot seem to wrap their head around it.
Whipping a pregnant woman - correction, a heavily pregnant woman, sounds extremely dangerous, doesn't it? Plus, who knows how much discomfort Slick may have been feeling in the clothes, hair and makeup and some seriously high heels. We praised both Rihanna and Slick for pulling off the feat last year but that admiration for Slick at least, came from the part of us that wondered how in the world, could she do it all with so much going on with her body?
Rihanna received the applause for apparently showing the world that pregnant women can feel sexy in their skin and we were indirectly told - if she can look and feel like that, we can too. The standards were a tad bit high, though, no?
Rihanna is known to be the goddess of inclusion, diversity, and sass and from the looks of it, also a little adventurous. She's the singer that gave the world the track 'S&M' so we can't really be entirely surprised by this whipping situation - it seems like Slick isn't.
She told Vogue about the fateful night she had Saphir, "My last memory before going into the hospital is of Rihanna spanking me with a whip. I was already 2cm dilated when I left the show, and I was in labor for another 18 hours. The delivery room was out of control. There was my agent and my baby’s daddy and Erykah Badu on FaceTime, acting as my doula. Then suddenly there he was: my miracle. I have no words for what it felt like to hold him for the first time."
At this time, there are no more details about the spanking and as Twitter is throwing up over the matter, one can also think that this was just a kinky situation in a wild themed lingerie fashion show. Not that it probably matters to both these women, since RiRi and Slick aren't really known to be cookie cutter regulars anyway.
