Mumbai: Within days of triggering a furore by tweeting in support of the ongoing farmers’ agitation in India, pop icon Rihanna caused another upheaval on social media on Tuesday.
In her latest tweet on her verified handle, Rihanna can be seen posing topless with a Ganesha pendant around her neck.
The picture was from a shoot was for her lingerie brand Savage X Fenty and the singer-actress can be seen wearing purple satin bottoms. Besides the controversial pendant, she wore other accessories such as diamond bracelets, neckpieces and statement earrings.
Rihanna’s tweet soon went viral on social media and many people accused her of hurting their religious sentiments.
BJP MLA Rama Kadam slammed the pop icon for shamefully mocking Lord Ganesha.
Notably, this is not the first time that Rihanna has landed in controversy over her disrespect to a religion, DNA reported.
Back in 2013, Rihanna did a photo-shoot at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre in Abu Dhabi. However, she was asked to leave after she clicked a few “inappropriate photos”. A statement issued by the Grand Mosque Centre read, “She was confronted by the mosque officials and directed to the appropriate entrance to the mosque, to carry out a visit under the normal conditions.”
She landed in another controversy during the launch show of her brand Savage X Fenty. The event had song ‘Doom’ being played which had the Muslim text called Hadith in it. This did not go well with people and they called her out immediately.
