People will literally threaten to kill someone over anything, I see death threats on Twitter literally all the time. Why you acting surprised?

i never seen anybody threaten an artist bc of a song

twitter is full of dumb ass people too

Maybe she shouldnt have appropriated a religion she didn’t know anything about

• This is a religion where visual depictions of the prophet isn’t even allowed

• Under strict interpretation, music is considered haram

Bone head move. Even without the death threats from oversea fanatics, this is still disrespectful.

Its her fault shes getting sued

Wonder why she has a version at all with the religious context

Nah she gotta be islamophobic if she scared that much

The artist also tweeted an apology for unknowingly including the sample in her song.

How do you unknowningly include a sample in your song

Mad innit

Damn so it wasnt even her intention for the religious verses to be in there

Lmao that s*** is cap unless she has little involvement in the making of her music

has happened before. some european DJ in a tunisian nightclub did some EDM mashup with the islamic call to prayer adhan and had to flee the country.

it's totally plausible that it could happen if you don't know wtf you're putting in your song and the religious significance of it and just doing it "cause it's arabic" or whatever.

idk who the artist in question is, if she's from a muslim country then i truly doubt "unknowingly" lol

People complaining about almost getting beheaded smh everyone’s so sensitive now

Idk why but the DJ having to flee the country after doing the set has me

ok but why does the artist have a version of the song that they know will offend people

This happens so often, I don't see how artists just don't check to make sure their music doesn't quote the Quran, they had to recall Ocarina of Time and LittleBigPlanet for the same thing, like how do you accidentally do that

they were after him he was sentenced to a year in jail in his absence mfs had to shut the club down after he dropped his banger

because they're culturally insensitive and don't understand what they're using in their music probably. she could've sent that song over and then realized her mistake and fixed the track up and send the revised version.

or she lookin for a bag

Great. But we're not living theocracies, so it doesn't matter. (Those who are living in theocracies: I hope you won't, someday. Or I hope internet will be permanently cut down so you can live in peace from sin or whatever.)

Those pretending to feel oppressed by a random DJ may simply be full of s***, too. More importantly, they're attacking creative expression. The usual deal with religion, you know. People used to be as severe when it concerned Christianism.

This is why you should know what you’re sampling. The Islamic religion has many prayers & vocal traditions that sound like “singing” to the west. That is not the case. The tones are beautified purposely with the intent to please God.

Yes, muslims are an emotional group of people, who are passionate, love their prophet (as opposed to draw him, include him in satire, comedy, etc), and who’s lives revolve around their religion (before family, country or self).

…With that being said, uhm, not sure if it’s relevant or not.. but I’d let Rihanna kick me in the face with all her strength and then laugh at me as I writhe in pain on the floor, and then she leaves with her superior boyfriend (while still laughing).

@Olaf sorry just had to clean it up, you’re right + included a very important sentiment at the end.

weirdos

Stop crying for major brands. Streets gotta eat
