    Savage X Fenty show faces backlash over use of Islamic text

    Public backlash

    Savage X Fenty faced backlash after music used during its Vol. 2 fashion show included words from Islamic text. The article reports that Rihanna apologized for the oversight; it does not report a direct company response by Savage X Fenty.

    Company response

    • Apology — Savage X Fenty

      I’d like to thank the Muslim community for pointing out a huge oversight that was unintentionally offensive in our Savage X Fenty show. I would, more importantly, like to apologise to you for this honest, yet careless mistake.

    Source excerpt

    • Rihanna has apologized after facing backlash for using sacred Islamic text during her Savage X Fenty Vol. 2 fashion show.
    • During last week's premiere on Amazon Prime Video, models danced to a song titled "Doom" by London-based producer and vocalist Coucou Chloe and many fans have taken to social media to point out that the music includes words from Islamic text.
    • Couple things that made me go „meh“ at Riri‘s #SAVAGEXFENTYSHOW . First thing is all the white girls in braids. For what?
