“I want to thank Muslims who show this at our Savage X Fenty event. I want to apologize for this mistake. We understand we hurt a lot of our Muslim brothers, and we are also disappointed by this, ”said the Take a Bow singer.

"I don't play with anything that disrespects God and anyone's religion and using songs in our project is irresponsible!" he said further.

Rihanna ensures that in the future something like this will not happen again. An apology was also given by Coucou Chloe, the owner of the song.

“I want to apologize for the vocal samples used in my song, ' DOOM '. The song was made using a Baile Funk track I found online , ”he said in a Twitter tweet.

"At that time, I did not understand if the sample of the words was Islamic hadith. I take responsibility for the fact that I did not seek out these words and want to thank those of you who told me, "wrote Coucou Chloe.

I want to deeply apologize for the offence caused by the vocal samples used in my song 'DOOM'. The song was created using samples from Baile Funk tracks I found online. At the time, I was not aware that these samples used text from an Islamic Hadith. 1/2
