Pop icon Rihanna has triggered a controversy again after she tweeted her topless image wearing Lord Ganesh pendant on Monday.
This photograph was part of Rihanna's shoot for her lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty.
The post soon went viral with Twitter users accusing her of hurting religious sentiments.
Earlier this month, the pop star tweeted in support of farmers’ protest in India triggering a row.
The 32-year-old singer, who has over 100 million followers on Twitter, took to the microblogging site and shared a CNN news article headlined, ”India cuts internet around New Delhi as protesting farmers clash with police.” ”Why aren’t we talking about this? #FarmersProtest,” Rihanna wrote.
