Pop Culture Catch-Up: Rihanna’s apologises for using Islamic texts in her Savage x Fenty show, Daniel Craig on the delayed premiere of ‘No Time To Die’

Rihanna says sorry to the Muslim community

Rihanna has apologised to the Muslim community following her Savage x Fenty lingerie show where a track by musical producer Coucou Chloe ‘Doom’ was played during the show. The track featured a Hadith (sacred Islamic text).

Many of her fans were outraged and disappointed in the artist’s choice in using such sacred prayers in her lingerie show. Rihanna quickly took to Instagram to release a statement of apology. She wrote, “I’d like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our Savage x Fenty show.”

She added, “I would, more importantly, like to apologise to you for this honest yet careless mistake. We understand that we may 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.” Rihanna continued, “and therefore the use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible! Moving forward we will make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding, Rih.”
