When I did the Reebok shoot the creative told me I’d be a goddess that represents strength, femininity and liberation, and that is something I love, that I’m all about and I thought it was dope. If people think I offended their culture or religion I want to say I'm sorry - that was not my intent. I would not want anyone to disrespect my religion, with people dressed as the Virgin Mary or Jesus, as long as they do it in a beautiful and graceful  way. Maybe I should’ve done my research. I’m sorry. I can’t change the past but I’m gonna do more research for the future.

Rihanna kinda did the same for multiple times

Princess of China

That's a pretty classic pop star schtick and dance move. We'll need to cancel almost everyone, not just Cardi, if this is something worth getting offended over.

LOL who was offended? Probably caucasians from the US of A let's be real

[DirrtyPony 1,330]

There really isn’t an excuse for this anymore. This isn’t a new concept and will always receive backlash. I feel like she knew what she was doing...

I guess this has to be censored now or given a warning for culture appropriation

I mean, she apologized for offending “their culture or religion”, so I imagine it was those who actually practice Hinduism.

I don't truly have an opinion on rather she should have apologized for that or not, since I'm not a part of that religion and my opinion is irrelevant, but I do love to see someone listening to whoever they might have offended and responding to it with grace and not overly defensive.

[Bonkers 28,354]

My opinion is that unless you're mocking or degrading, you're ok.  I don't think she was doing either. 

In my experience with Indian people, they love to see their culture and art in any type of medium so long as it's not making fun.

I’m a Hindu and I’m not offended. The multiple arms symbolise a hard working female who has to handle work, her household duties, her children all at the same time. And Cardi does that effortlessly. She shouldn’t have to apologise for it.

What about Lady Gaga and the Afrodite theme from ARTPOP?? Well some people need to rethink about that is offending and disrespecting

I feel the same way as a hindu. In no way was it mocking or incentive. I swear the people who get angry over this on behalf of others, need to take a step back and see how the actual people who are affected feel about it.
