Rihanna has been hit with backlash from offended Brits after superimposing the Queen’s head onto her own racy ensembles in a bizarre birthday tribute.
As the British monarch celebrated her 91st birthday over the weekend, the B***h Better Have My Money hitmaker took to Instagram to share four snaps in which her own sexy looks had Queen Elizabeth’s head attached.
While an array of her 52.4million followers saw the funny side to the tongue-in-cheek gesture, the comments section on the snaps was swarmed with counterblast in which she was branded a ‘stupid little girl’ for the ‘disrespectful’ doctored images.
Rihanna is never shy of controversy and Saturday’s posts were no exception as she chose four of her sexiest and quirkiest ensembles to give the Queen a shock and unheard of image makeover, much to the chagrin of fans.
The posts come just five months after the Barbadian singer joined forces with the Queen’s grandson Prince Harry in her native country to both take HIV tests for World AIDS Day as part of his tour of the island in December.
Her affinity with the royal family would certainly hint at the harmless nature of the shots although many of her followers, particularly those from Britain, appeared particularly hurt by her gesture as she was accused of courting publicity.
The raciest of the images saw the monarch’s head attached to one of the images from Rihanna’s sexy shoot for Paper magazine, released last month, as she posed in a Chanel suit with the buttons undone to show her braless chest.
‘Its rude you know. This is not funny. She’s someone’s grandma. Imagine if its yours… Maybe research her life before you take the piss, she had no choice to become the monarch, she’s not even entitled to have individual opinions or be an individual or even her own birth name!
‘She is forced to be the face of the church, common wealth and monarchy, government, she ain’t even allowed to vote or abstain from church rules because the her coronation where she took the oath…
‘Rihanna doesn’t even know what respect means she’s trashy always will be… Offensive and sad the extent people go for attention… what do we expect to this pathetic illuminati puppet.,… Why are you taking the piss out of our queen?
‘She 91 and has probably forgotten more good deeds than you will ever experience! Try looking into the life she has lived! Jesus you really do think your something you don’t you lmao good luck with your next visit to OUR country.
‘Maybe you woukd do better on a post that includes domestic violence and how young girls shouldn’t put up with it! Try using your platform for some good!!!! Stupid little Girl… I agree. I find these posts disrespectable.
‘Rihanna is craving attention I suppose. The queen is 91 and deserves respect… well it’s not on an it’s disrespectful there are other ways to use your platform she could at least channel her energy to do good!… I’m blown away with this!
Despite the negativity, many fans were inclined to see the positive side as they wrote: ‘Love how some people mad at these posts and she’s like… I’m in tears. This takes the cake… it’s just a way to say happy birthday and I don’t think it’s that much important…
‘it’s literally not that deep & it’s not like she edited the damn picture herself. & so what if she shows her tities at times. Are you that scared of a little nipple????
‘if she was so respected the idiot that made the picture wouldn’t have put her face on it… Whys everyone so mad about these though? A) it’s hilarious B) if my face was photoshopped onto Rihanna’s body, I’d be the last to complain.’
