Rihanna is once again in the spotlight, but this time it’s for a controversial photoshoot that has sparked accusations of blasphemy and disrespect towards Christianity.
The cover of Interview Magazine’s latest issue features the pop star dressed as a seductive nun, drawing sharp criticism from social media users and religious communities alike.
While some defended Rihanna, praising her for transforming religious imagery into high fashion, others condemned her actions as dehumanizing and degrading to Christianity.
One Instagram user expressed feeling deeply offended by the photos, stating, “it’s just disrespect and in poor taste.”Â
This isn’t the first time Rihanna has faced backlash for cultural and religious insensitivity.
In 2021, she was accused of cultural appropriation for wearing a pendant depicting the Hindu God Ganesha in a topless photo.
Additionally, she received criticism for using sacred Islamic texts in the soundtrack of her Savage x Fenty lingerie show.
Despite the controversy, Rihanna has remained silent on the matter, and the Instagram post showcasing the photoshoot remains on her profile.
As discussions around the boundaries of artistic expression and respect for religious beliefs continue, this incident adds to the ongoing debate over where to draw the line.
