Rihanna ruffled some religious feathers while dressed as a s3xy nun on the cover of Interview Magazine’s latest issue.
In response to a photo shoot of the 36-year-old singer wearing a black and white habit, the traditional garment worn by members of religious orders, numerous fans and critics flocked to her comment section to denounce the look.
After viewing the provocative image of her, in which she sported a small cross tattoo drawn on her face and an unbuttoned Dior blouse that exposed her cleavage, many social media users accused the superstar of disrespecting Christians and Catholics.
‘So tired with all this unholy imagery!!!!’ one wrote while another called the concept ‘religious mockery.’
A third commented: ‘I love Rihanna but I never understand why the obsession with sexualizing religious representations.’
‘Isn’t this blasphemy??’ another asked.
Others explained that they felt it is ‘dehumanizing and degrading to see Christianity being continuously mocked’ and ‘religious imagery being used for the wrong purposes.’
Ultimately, many of her followers questioned ‘out of all the fashion in the world’ why did the Fenty Beauty founder ‘chose to mock a religion.’
