Rihanna Apologizes To Muslims After Hadith Song Backlash

Rihanna Responds To Criticsm For Using Islamic Hadith Song During Savage X Fenty Show

Earlier today, Rihanna was heavily dragged on social media and was cancelled by Muslims over a song from London producer Coucou Chloe, titled “Doom,” which was played during her recent Savage X Fenty Lingerie show.

In Islamic faith, a hadith is a sacred bit of text that details the sayings of Prophet Muhammad, and thus Muslims took to twitter to express their disappointment in the R&B singer.

Apparently, Riri caught wind of the backlash and has taken to her Instagram Story to issue an apology. In her apology, Rihanna explains that the inclusion of the song was simply a careless oversight, but nonetheless promises to do better moving forward.

“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 began.

“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!”

She continued, “Moving forward we will make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding,

Rih.”
