“If people felt that I had offended their culture or religion, I want to tell them I'm sorry.
It wasn't my intention.
The singer Cardi B had to apologize Wednesday, November 11 after appearing as a Hindu goddess, on the cover of
Footwear News
magazine
, with a pair of sneakers in her hands, to launch a collaboration with the brand in question.
In the meantime, many and many Internet users were indignant, believing that the Hindu deity Durga could not be the subject of any recovery, especially since the goddess is never represented half-naked, made notice a surfer.
Others were offended that wearing shoes was prohibited in Hindu temples, making the tribute completely inappropriate.
People are saying Cardi B is paying homeage to our hindu goddess Durga.
So as a Hindu I want to say that:
1-Wearing a shoe in a temple is prohibited
2-Durga maa is not to be used as an aesthetic
3-Durga maa is NEVER depicted bare bodied
4-THIS.
IS.
NOT.
HOMAGE.
IT'S.
DISRESPECT.

“When I took part in the shoot,” she breathes in the video, “the team explained to me that I was going to represent a goddess who illustrates strength, femininity and liberation.
These are things that I love and that are close to my heart, ”explained Cardi B, who had already had to apologize in October for taking sides in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
The magazine also apologized.
