33-year-old Rihanna is under fire on social media over her recent fashion show.

She’s accused of “appropriating Black culture” by allowing women who are not black to sport braids.

Rihanna is now the richest female musician in the world with a net worth of $1.7 billion, according to Forbes.

At her event called Savage X Fenty fashion show, Rihanna allowed certain stars who are not Black women to sport braids.

The wardrobe is reportedly meant for all shapes of bodies, big and small.

People noticed that celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Ratajkowski were styled with braids.

“Many deemed it a look exclusive to Black people and accused the show of appropriating Black culture,” Fox News reported.

“It didn’t take long before many viewers took to social media to call Rihanna and the show out for its use of braids,” the report added.

Here’s a look at the responses:

Singer Rihanna recently stunned fans with a wardrobe decision of her own.

Rihanna was spotted in New York City wearing a political t-shirt that read “Think, While It’s Still Legal.”

The 33-year-old singer is reportedly the richest female musician in the world with a net worth of $1.7 billion, according to Forbes.

Conservatives reacted on social media by claiming Rihanna is “red-pilling”:

Based on the 1999 film The Matrix, deciding between the “red pill” and “blue pill” refers to a choice between the willingness to learn a potentially unsettling or life-changing truth by taking the red pill or remaining in contented ignorance with the blue pill.

For conservatives, it’s critical not to blindly accept the often false narratives pushed by the liberal mainstream media and, instead, using independent research and thought when forming your beliefs and opinions.

She was on her way to the recording studio when she was spotted in the political shirt, according to Daily Mail.

The shirt is part of a fall line of clothing by the brand Vetements.

A fashion blog called “Fashionably Male” explained, “‘Think while it’s still legal’ is the message T-shirt with shoulder pads that opens Vetements’ fall look book, a dump of 165 images with backdrops indicating earth, heaven and hell.”

Rihanna, who has been working on her ninth album after a lengthy music hiatus, told AP on the night that her new album will be completely different from her previous music.

‘You’re not going to expect what you hear. Just put that in your mind,’ she said. ‘Whatever you know of Rihanna is not going to be what you hear.

‘I’m really experimenting. Music is like fashion. You should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want. I treat music the same way. So I’m having fun and it’s going to be completely different.’
