Rapper Cardi B has launched her first-ever footwear collection, in collaboration with Reebok. However, Cardi’s gown revealed her cleavage, and it hurt the sentiments of many people in India.
Footwear News’ Instagram handle shared the image of Cardi, captioning it, “If Cardi’s rockin’ it, go buy stock in it. That’s a tip as FN’s November cover star Cardi B makes her first major foray into the shoe industry with the Nov. 13 debut of her Club C Cardi sneaker collection with Reebok.”
Here’s the Cover Picture:
The caption went on that she is paying homage to Goddess Durga, “In a Georges Hobeika dress, she pays homage to Durga, the Hindu goddess, whose symbols of protection and inner strength resonate as much in modern times as they have through the centuries. Like Durga, Cardi B is a dominant female voice at a critical time.”
The photoshoot – which took place in late October amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic – showed her in three additional outfits and a bright red hairstyle.
But clearly, Indians are not impressed by Cardi’s bare-bodied homage to the goddess, here’s what the netizens have to say-
I don't care who you think you're. You can be a queen in your own imagination. But don't think you equate to our mother. She's the queen of this universe. Not a disgrace like you. Do what you know best and don't try to use your brain too much. Be in your limits #cardi pic.twitter.com/hlre2bQCSV

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. pic.twitter.com/K4QFa431tP— Aadi (@wotermelonsugrx) November 11, 2020
