Rihanna involved in controversy for offending the Hindu community with her top-*-*-less
Rihanna has sparked controversy in one of her latest publications. The singer from Barbados shared a few days ago an image of her on her Instagram, where she accumulates more than ninety million followers, to promote her lingerie brand. In it she appeared top-*-*-less, covering her body with her own hands and covered with very striking jewels.
The pendant that the artist wears represents the Hindu god Ganesha, which has caused a wave of criticism. Photography has offended the devotees of this religious trend, since they consider it to be disrespectful to her divinity. Some have even accused her of cultural misappropriation.
"It is scandalous how Rihanna shamefully mocks our beloved God #Ganesh. She shows how she does not respect Indian culture and traditions," tweeted Ram Kadam, MP and member of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's nationalist party. The Hindu World Council, a group attached to the ruling Hindu nationalist party Bharatiya Janata (BJP), has filed several complaints for Twitter and Facebook to remove the image and take action against Rihanna's accounts.
Her support for the agricultural protests
As if that were not enough, the recent expressions of support by Rihanna and Greta Thunberg on Twitter for the protests of farmers in India have put the government of Narendra Modi on a war footing against an alleged international conspiracy to smear the Asian country.
"Why aren't we talking about this?" The pop icon wrote, sharing a CNN report on internet outages in Delhi during farmers' protests last week. His message was immediately retweeted more than 360,000 times and commented on by almost 170,000 people.
Modi has hardened his nationalist discourse and spoke of a "foreign threat". Meanwhile, his Executive accuses Twitter of not complying with its orders to block hundreds of accounts related to the protests.
The success of your lingerie line
After being forced to close her fashion line, Rihanna has received good news from another of her companies. Savage x Fenty is, without a doubt, the great success of the pop star. The great success of her lingerie line has caught the attention of many investors. The L Catterton group has injected a generous amount of money into her coffers: $ 115 million. This has skyrocketed the value of the singer's company to a billion dollars.
Its launch shook the archaic industry and bet on breaking the canons of beauty. Inclusion and diversity are the strengths of your company, which defends tooth and nail the body positive movement.
