Rihanna is catching heat on social media this morning for using an Islamic Hadith in a runway clip for her lingerie brand Savage x Fenty.
The Bajan superstar usually gets praised for prioritizing inclusivity in her companies, she is now under fire for using sacred Muslim sayings in her show, which debuted on Amazon Prime on October 2.
Muslims have since called out Rihanna and the Savage X Fenty show for using Coucou Chloe’s ‘Doom’ which uses sped up narrations of Prophet Mohammed writings.

Check out some of the reactions on social media:
this is the person who’s hadith is being played as an entertaining song in Rihanna’s show. this is who we’re defending. this is who we look up to when we’re trying to learn kindness and equality. don’t ever invalidate us being upset over the man who taught us humanity. pic.twitter.com/IR0g71C3lp
