It all began with Rihanna's photoshoot where she decided to dress provocatively as a nun stirring up a whirlwind of criticism and debate.
Conservative country artist Chad Prather, recently making waves with his song "Make Jesus Famous Again" under Baste Records, swiftly condemned Rihanna's portrayal. He took to social media, lambasting her mockery towards Catholicism. Prather's words resonated with many, highlighting a growing dissatisfaction among conservative musicians and fans.
The backlash against Rihanna isn't just about her photoshoot—its part of a burgeoning right-wing counter-culture in American music. Artists like Prather, with their staunch defense of traditional values, stand as a testmanet to this shift in the industry's landscape.
The clash of cultures is not confined to the realm of politics—it permeates through the very fabric of the music scene. Rihanna's choice to mock Catholics pitts liberal expressions of creativity against conservative calls for respect and reverence.
In the midst of it all, Prather's outspoken stance underscores a growing sentiment among a segment of musicians and fans, who seek to reclaim the cultural values of American music.
Many were also quick to point out that Rihanna would never dare commit such a desecration against the religon of Islam. Coincidentally, this isn't the first time Rihanna has had conflicts with Catholics, when in 2018 she similarly misappropriated Catholic imagery at the 2018 Met Gala.
