Solomon Buchi, a self-proclaimed life coach, along with other Nigerians, has expressed strong disapproval of Rihanna’s recent cover shoot for Interview magazine. The shoot featured the singer portraying a seductive nun, drawing criticism for its perceived sacrilege.
Taking to his social media handle, Solomon voiced his condemnation, labeling the image as sacrilegious and disrespectful to Catholics and Christians in general. He emphasized the importance of showing reverence to all aspects of the Christian faith, urging followers not to condone such disrespect from celebrities.
In his post, Solomon highlighted his concern over the admiration shown towards celebrities who continuously disregard Christian symbols and beliefs, likening it to a lack of depth in one’s religious convictions.
The backlash extended beyond Solomon’s sentiments, as other Nigerians joined in denouncing the shoot. Many pointed out the double standard, noting that celebrities rarely dare to imitate religious figures from other faiths in such a derogatory manner.
The varied responses underscored the widespread unease and disappointment sparked by Rihanna’s controversial photoshoot, igniting a debate over the boundaries of artistic expression and religious sensitivity.
