Muslims around the world took to social media to slam pop megastar Rihanna this weekend after her raunchy fashion show featured sexualized dancing to a song that featured quotes from the Islamic text known as the Hadith. The Barbadian singer, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, kicked off the controversy last Friday during a pre-recorded fashion show aired on Amazon Prime to mark the release of her latest lingerie line, Savage X Fenty Volume 2. During the show, models danced to the song “Doom” by the London-based producer Coucou Chloe. The song remixes some quotes from the Hadith, a collection of quotes by the Muhammad that Muslims use as religious guidance. The Hadiths are considered separate from the text of the Quran but just as holy. Watch below: Muslims around the world took to Twitter to express their disgust at the show, describing it as disrespectful to the Islamic religion and holding Rihanna responsible: “As a Muslim, no words can describe how disappointed I am with Rihanna for letting her models dance to hadith,” one person said on Twitter.
