If her intention was to start a controversy, Rihanna did nail it. The Bajan singer sparked backlash on social media after she shared "disrespecting" images of Queen Elizabeth. As the monarch turned 91 on Friday, 21, the 29-year-old singer posted four snaps in which the Queen's head was attached onto her own body.
"be humble," she wrote in a caption of a photo featuring Queen Elizabeth's head superimposed onto a picture of Rihanna wearing a green fur coat. In another image, the Queen's head was attached onto Rihanna's body wearing a red fur coat. "y'all chickens is ash and I'm lotion," she captioned it.
The next photo featured the Queen dressed in a crystal bodysuit underneath a Gucci vest top and paired with denim shorts. She initially wrote, "Cause u f**k like a [grandma] f**k, u just a amateur," citing a lyric from Gucci Mane and Drake's collaboration "Both". She then changed it into, "Mumz said she won't too happy bout this post so I had to edit *insert appropriate Gucci Mane lyrics here*."
The last image saw the Queen's head placed on Rihanna's photo from her recent Paper magazine photo shoot, during which she donned a Chanel suit with a very plunging neckline while posing in a convenience store. "It's not that deep," she cheekily captioned it.
Her posts outraged some of her followers. "Have some f**kin respect," one wrote in the comment section. "Its rude you know. This is not funny. She's someone's grandma. Imagine if its yours," another reminded the "We Found Love" hitmaker. Someone else added, "This is so disrespectful."
Some others, however, found the photos funny. "This pic made my day," wrote one of Rihanna's fans. "Haha I like this one!!" another reacted. "Lol I had follow Rihanna for this post 10/10," read another comment.
Despite the backlash, Rihanna has neither removed the pictures nor clarified her intention with these posts.
