Bosses at Rihanna's record label are demanding the online removal of alleged nude photographs of the singer, according to a new report.
Salacious snapshots apparently featuring the singer surfaced on the Internet on Friday.
Now officials in the legal department at Island Def Jam Music Group, Rihanna's record label, have moved swiftly to bury the scandal, sending cease and desist notices to websites that have posted the photos.
The letter obtained by TMZ.com does not confirm or deny that the woman in the photos is Rihanna but it does calls for the immediate removal of "unauthorised photos purported to be... Rihanna".
It also calls the pictures a violation of "the artist's rights".
