Rihanna has issued a public apology to the Muslim community after she was called out for using a song featuring sacred Islamic texts as a soundtrack to her racy Savage x Fenty lingerie show.
The singer and businesswoman took to her Instagram page to disclose that she would never take any issue regarding God or religion with levity.
She wrote, “I’d like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive on our savage X fenty show.”
“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 towards God or any religion and therefore, the use of the song in our project was completely irresponsible!”
“Moving forward we will make sure nothing like this ever happens again. Thank you for your forgiveness and understanding. Rih”
The producer of the said song titled ‘Doom’ by a London-based producer Coucou Chloe has also apologized for the controversial song.
She wrote, “I want to deeply apologize for the offense caused by the vocal samples used in my song ‘DOOM.’ The song was created using samples from Baile Funk tracks I found online. At the time, I was not aware that these samples used text from an Islamic Hadith.”
“I take full responsibility for the fact I did not research these words properly and want to thank those of you who have taken the time to explain this to me. We have been in the process of having the song urgently removed from all streaming platforms.”
