But Rihanna is no stranger to such accusations as she also came under fire from the Muslim community who have accused her of disrespecting the values of Islam during her Savage X Fenty fashion show in October 2020. During the show which premiered on Amazon Prime Video, “Doom” a song that reportedly samples vocals of a Hadith being read in Arabic was played as models dressed in lingerie strutted around.
