Rihanna's fashion show nearly got a musical artist decapitated, because they played the wrong version of a song at a fashion show ... this according to a new lawsuit.

Rihanna's Fenty brand is being sued by a musician who claims RiRi's company reached out to use one of her songs during a Savage X Fenty show last fall, but screwed up by playing a version of the song that included a sample of sacred Islamic proverbs being chanted.

The artist, who's filed the suit as Jane Doe to protect her identity, claims she immediately got threats on her life when the fashion show was live-streamed to millions.

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, the artist made it clear to Fenty reps one version of the song had the religious verses and one did not, and she warned them not to use the Islamic proverbs.

Despite a public apology from Rihanna following the immediate backlash, the artist claims she was forced into hiding after receiving a barrage of death threats over the song. She claims the constant threat of being decapitated and murdered led to anxiety and depression. The artist also tweeted an apology for unknowingly including the sample in her song.

Also of note ... we've learned that once Rihanna's team found out the song played during the Fenty show contained the offensive lyrics it was edited out of future viewings.

The artist says she still fears for her life and remains in hiding ... and she's going after Rihanna's business arm for more than $10 million in damages.

We reached out to Fenty ... so far, no word back.

People are doing way too much these days man smh

crazy…

Rihanna should probably cut her a lil check tbh

Ayo

Down with billionaires

did u even read it

yes ? imagine crying over a song and threatening to kill somebody bc of it

This comes right after they announce she's a billionaire. If it's true that's one thing but the timing is not a coincidence.

yeah they highkey the weirdos sue them not riri

uff

Fenty f***ed up

Crine

Title's kind of s***ty because they're being sued for putting someone's life in danger, and that someone told them not to play that version of the track.

Title makes it seems they're being sued for offending muslims and it's missing the third party here. really the artist suing is the second party and the muslim community is the third party.

Rihanna isn't in the wrong here

The people threatening the girl over a f***ing song should be held accountable not her.

No one life should be threatened over a mistake

why is coucou chloe suing rihanna?

i can’t believe we are in the 21st century and people are threatening to kill other people because of a song … but yeah kind of makes sense considering it’s the 21st century, which is sad.

Lost 10 million, so I spent another 10

Cos unlike Hammer 10 million can’t hurt me

yes people shouldn't be religious fanatics that make death threats

but they exist and have existed for who knows when

According to the suit, obtained by TMZ, the artist made it clear to Fenty reps one version of the song had the religious verses and one did not, and she warned them not to use the Islamic proverbs.

Now if this is true, then Fenty f***ed up. The artist has been grieved by the death threats and Fenty's negligence. She deserves damages and they're not getting money from the fanatics. The company pays the employee for putting their life in danger.
