Rihanna is so much more than just a singer and a performer. The artist embarked on a new journey with her beauty brand Fenty which became a luxury for most women in in no time. The brand was an immediate success. However, it did come with some serious backlash. During the second annual Savage X Fenty lingerie show, the singer’s management overlooked a major detail that sparked concerns amongst her Muslim fans.

The lingerie models were seen dancing to the song called ‘Doom’ by Coucou Chloe, which had a remix of a hadith narration about the end of times and judgment day. The Holy narrative is highly revered in the Muslim community, and seeing lingerie models dancing on it sent the community into a rage.

Of course, Rihanna and the entire Savage x Fenty management had to come forth to rectify this big blunder. As per CNN, they issued a statement which read, “We truly apologize for the song that appeared in the Savage x Fenty show. We shouldn’t have used it. The song’s vocal tracks are being replaced and the show is being edited. We have nothing but the utmost respect and love for the Muslim community. All Fenty brands have been founded on the notion of inclusivity and respect to all, and this was an unfortunate mistake on our part. We will be vigilant going forward to ensure this is never repeated.”
