Popstar Rihanna has sparked criticism after posting a topless photo. The star was wearing a pendant featuring a Hindu deity that raged on social media users.
Rihanna who came under fire for raising her voice for the Indian Farmers’ Protest, drew fresh backlash after posing topless.
She can be seen wearing only a pair of lavender boxers from her Savage X Fenty lingerie line. And sporting a long-chain has a lavender pendant of Ganesha on her belly.

Netizens who were not too happy with this came out hitting the pop star and accused her of hurting their religious sentiments.
Many social media users also called out the cultural appropriation by Rihanna.
I am a Muslim but as an Indian and Maharashtrian I love Lord Ganesha ji – sorry this misuse of Ganesha ji image hurts my feelings & sentiments – will Rihanna Backers in India accept this also? #GaneshaInsulted pic.twitter.com/ueHOS9UMZF

the way no one is talking abt how rihanna's necklace has ganesha on it, an important sacred god to hinduism as he plays a big role in like providing protection, is really disappointing to me. i love rihanna but this isn't okay.

It was a few days ago when one of the models for her lingerie brand Fenty was spotted posing for a promotional photo shoot at a Hindu temple.
It was last year when she had apologized to the Muslim community after she played songs with Hadiths in a virtual runway show for her lingerie brand Fenty.
