| Subject: Pathetic: Rihanna apologizes to Muslim community for using song with Islamic scripture in fashion show Tue Oct 06, 2020 8:38 pm | |
| Rihanna is issuing an apology for an offensive song selection in her 2020 Savage X Fenty Vol. 2 Show.
While the designer and singer was praised for the inclusivity of her fashion show, which streamed on Prime Video on Friday, she’s since faced backlash for having the lingerie models strut to the song “Doom” by London-based producer Coucou Chloe. The song, which is on the show’s official soundtrack, includes sacred Islamic verses — specifically a remix of a Hadith narration from the Prophet Muhammad about the end of times and judgment day — leading Rihanna’s Muslim fans to call her over it.
In an apology on Tuesday, Rihanna took responsibility for the “huge oversight” and vowed that it won’t happen again.
“I'd like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our savage x fenty show," Rihanna wrote on social media Tuesday. “I would more importantly like to apologize to you for this honest, yet careless mistake. We understand that we have hurt many of our Muslim brothers and sisters, and I'm incredibly disheartened by this!”
