Whether it’s her personal or professional life, rapper Cardi B is known to stir up controversy quite often. So, once again she found herself in the middle of one and this time it occurred after the rapper set out to promote her debut sneaker collection with Reebok.
The 28-year-old rapper posted a picture posed as Hindu Goddess ‘Durga’ in a bid to promote her Reebok collaboration. The picture was supposed to pay homage to the goddess and showcased Cardi B as a warrior woman with eight hands while holding a bright red pair of sneakers.
However, netizens did not take this representation of Goddess Durga very well. Many criticised the rapper for her bare-bodied homage to the Goddess and dissed her for comparing herself with the Goddess.
However, soon after Cardi began to trend on Twitter for upsetting the sentiments of believers, the rapper posted an apology video to her Instagram stories. She stated that her intent wasn’t to hurt any religion and she’d do better research for future.
