Rihanna cancelled? Artiste accused of ‘disrespecting’ Islam during Savage X Fenty show
Rihanna may still be on a high from her Savage X Fenty fashion show
which premiered on Amazon Prime Video last week but not everyone is happy about
it.
The Barbadian superstar is receiving much backlash from some quarters
for using a song with an Islamic hadith during the October 2 show.
A Hadith is a revered record of Islamic traditions or sayings of the
Prophet Muhammad which is sacred to Muslims.
The slight happened during a song called Doom, which used samples of the Hadith, which reportedly speaks to
the end of days.

Many took to social media to criticise the artiste-turned-beauty mogul for the inappropriate inclusion with one user saying, “i can’t let Rihanna have a pass w appropriating Islam like for her first show the models wore a scarf around their heads and it looked like HIJAB and her second show she used a track that remixed a HADITH….why is no one talking about this, my religion is not y’all’s aesthetic.â€
