Rapper Tommy faces backlash for dressing as Maa Kali

Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis is under fire for her latest music video, True Blue, where she appears dressed in a manner resembling the Hindu goddess Maa Kali while also provocatively using Christian symbols like a crucifix. Many online critics are calling it blatant cultural appropriation and disrespect toward religious sentiments, sparking outrage and demands to take the video down.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about a controversial outfit—it taps into a larger, ongoing debate about artists borrowing sacred imagery without understanding or respecting its significance. For many Hindus and Christians, these symbols aren’t just aesthetic choices; they hold deep spiritual meaning. The backlash highlights how quickly such missteps can alienate audiences and ignite calls for accountability in creative expression.
