Many fans called out superstar Rihanna this week for the use of a song which featured sacred Islamic verses during her Savage x Fenty runway show. Today, the businesswoman is in search of forgiveness for any offence she may have caused.
Read what Rih had to say about the matter below…
Taking to Instagram, the songstress shared the following to her story:
“I’d like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our savage x fenty show. 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! I do not play with any kind of disrespect toward God or any religion and therefore the use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible! Moving forward we will make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding, Rih.”
Produced by Coucou Chloe, the song ‘Doom‘ played while Ru Paul’s Drag Race contestants Shea Coulee and Gigi Goode strutted their stuff down the runway. Unbeknownst to RiRi, the track included a hadith narration about the end of times and judgment day which some of her Muslim supporters took offence to.
Coucou Chloe, deeply apologetic for the mistake, quickly responded to the backlash:
“I want to deeply apologize for the offence caused by the vocal samples used in my song ‘DOOM’. The song was created using samples from Baile Funk tracks I found online. At the time, I was not aware that these samples used text from an Islamic Hadith.”
****
We hope the singer’s apology will be enough to mend fences between herself and some offended fans.
What are…
Racist w****
B**** you wouldn’t even have know this was offensive if the Muslim community didn’t bring it up.
You just stand on the side lines to attack like the dog you are.
Anywho….
Glad Rihanna apologized and hope she adds more people from various cultures to her team so this doesn’t happen again.
Lithium bítch…lithium. You desperately need to get ur hands on that shīt asap.
Cultural appropriator!
You back bįtch?? The TGJ air was so fresh and clean without ur musty ass stickin up the place.
I’m willing to bet no one would be offended if it wasn’t for my RuGirls working it. 🖕🏻 props to RiRi for doing her best to make a show that celebrates any and everyone
Serious note though: why are you apologising to a community of people who need to apologise to you? A community of people who have the most barbaric history when it comes to black slavery and who are STILL heavily involved in the African s**** trade (along with Africa) to this day?
On a serious note: you are trash. Your essays are irrelevant trash, just like you. Save that shīt for the white power websites you frequent. Racist bītch 🖕🏻🖕🏻💋
All religions are barbaric and many condone slavery (the Bible provides instructions on how hard masters should beat their slaves , how to treat them in general, and on how the s**** should honor and obey their masters). But the bottom line is, we still live in a society were people should respect other people’s faith and beliefs, Rihanna knows that so that’s why she is apologetic.
🤨where at in the Bible ? You mind pointing that out thanks
What Anne says is true.
Two verses from Paul in the New Testament – Ephesians 6:5 and Colossians 3:22 – call on slaves to be obedient to their masters. “Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
Thanks Misty…there are many examples in addition to the ones Misty cited. For example: Colossians 3:22 “Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything, not only to please them while they are watching, but with sincerity of heart and fear of the Lord”;
1 Timothy 6:1 “All who are under the yoke of slavery should regard their masters as fully worthy of honor, so that God’s name and our teaching will not be discredited.”
As far as beating slaves, here is an example: Exodus 21:20-21 ESV / 27 “When a man strikes his s****, male or female, with a rod and the s**** dies under his hand, he shall be avenged. But if the s**** survives a day or two, he is not to be avenged, for the s**** is his money.
The Richest Female Musician is a giving Queen
A true apology unlike stupid Camickys apology
Muslims would murder every gay person if they could, even if they LIE and say “no, we wouldn’t do that.” They do it EVERY DAY!
DO NOT APOLOGIZE RiRi.
👏
If he truly is sorry then he should donate money to them poor Muslim countries and, get on his knees and beg for forgiveness. Ignorant b|tch.
🥱🥱🖕🏻 no frauds
Hey, stalker how was your shift working the cashier at H&M? Have you learned how to tuck it in yet?
frauds get no love. 🖕🏻🖕🏻💁🏼♀️
You sound crazy
Why don’t the rich Muslim donate to the poor Muslims they have so much and can’t even count it
Who cares about those terrorists
The french are extremely racist and anti Islam…so I’m surprised Rih having dated a Muslim man for 3 years didn’t recognise a Hadith during rehearsals for the show. But I’ve recently noticed a pattern of Rih working with problematic people mainly colorists and racists. Paris Hilton being one. At least she apologised and didn’t deflect.
Rihanna keeps your bum ass pressed. Go d***** for your next John and leave these discussions for people who actually possess a dash of intellect.
Your dumb f
Oh, she wasn’t spending sleepless nights learning Hadiths while dating Jameel. She was just riding his … Toyota.
Betcha 《Hadith》 is Top 5 of most searched words on Google this week. RiRi — are you sure it wasn’t revenge exacted on a cultural Muslim ex? 😉 Ah, Mohammed on a lingerie runway. 2020 inches closer to being a disaster.
Apologize why? nobody apologizes to the black community for anything. F_CK them folks, Rih
