The recent Fenty show featured a Hadith sped up and mixed with dance music which was played as models walked and performed on the runway.
Rihanna is catching flack online this morning for using an Islamic Hadith in a runway clip for her fashion brand Fenty. The 32-year-old Bajan singer—full name Robyn Rihanna Fenty—has not been releasing music in recent years, instead, focusing on her Fenty makeup line and her lingerie brand Savage X Fenty. Although the « Umbrella » singer has been highly praised for prioritizing inclusivity in her companies, she is now under fire for using sacred Muslim sayings in her show, which debuted on Amazon Prime on October 2. Hadiths are highly revered records of the traditions or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad and are sacred to Muslims. The Fenty show featured a Hadith sped up and mixed with dance music which was played as models walked and performed on the runway.
