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.
