Rihanna's provocative photoshoot that blends religious imagery has garnered backlash, with some users on social media claiming it mocks Christianity.
Billionare Fenty CEO Rihanna stirred up a godly amount of online debate Tuesday after posing as a sexy nun for the cover of 'Interview Magazine.' The 36-year-old singer donned a black and white habit, the traditional attire worn by sisters dedicated to a life of religious observance. But Rihanna put her own spin on the garment, wearing an unbuttoned blouse that exposed her cleavage.
One Instagram user, who identified herself as a Muslim, said the photoshoot was 'disrespectful' and 'strange.' 'Can't do art without messing with other people's religion? Is this how desperate celebs have become?' the user added. 'Our religion is not your marketing toy like stopppppp this is so annoying,' another chimed in. 'This is in poor taste,' another Instagram user wrote.
In January, rapper Lil Nas X apologized after backlash from Christians who said his song 'J. Christ' made fun of Christianity. In 2021, he collaborated on Satan-themed sneakers that featured a pentagram and inverted cross that reportedly contained 60 CCs of red ink mixed with a drop of human blood in the sole of the shoe. There were only 666 pairs made available.
Fox News Digital reached out to Fenty and its affiliates for comment. Fox News' Kendall Tietz contributed to this report.
