After Rihanna posed for photos at Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque last weekend, its staff asked the singer to leave, according to The Associated Press. Overseers at the mosque later explained
that Rihanna had been in an area that was typically off-limits to visitors and that her fashion-style shoot didn't support the "status and sanctity of the mosque.
" Images of the photo shoot, which Rihanna posted to her Instagram account, depict the pop star in a black outfit with her hair covered striking poses and lying down around the grounds of the mosque.
The singer was accused of violating the mosque rules by "behaving in any way that is inconsistent with the sanctity of this religious place"
Information has it that, she was told to put more clothes on by a farmer in 2011 when she turned up topless on his land to film a music video.
And is seems Rihanna's care free attitude and decision to do what she wants when she wants has landed her in a bit of trouble again.
This time she was fully clothed, yeah shock horror, but sparked outrage when she posted pictures of herself on Instagram posing at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque in UAE.
The controversial singer was dressed head-to-toe in black and complied with the mosque's guidelines by covering her hair.
But not content with the lack of pizazz, she sexed up her look with crimson lippy, painted nails and a pout that would make a bloke's heart skip a beat.
Her actions have been slammed as being "disrespectful" for a place of worship and it's reported to have violated rules on the "status and sanctity of the mosque."
One person wrote on Twitter: "I love Rihanna but then posing so seductively in front of the mosque is so disrespectful."
Another added: "Rihanna pics at Sheikh Zayed mosque are disrespectful to the place of worship."
While someone writing under the alias of @BinttAlthee tweeted: "Rihanna modelling in the Sheikh Zayed mosque is just plain wrong. Who let her in?"
A statement issued by the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre to The National said: "The Centre strives to ensure that visitors enter the mosque in a decent fashion, and refrain from behaving in any way that is inconsistent with the sanctity of this religious place.
"Here, the Centre refers to a recent incident, involving a singer who came for a private visit to the mosque, at a gate that is not reserved for visitors, without prior coordination with the Centre's management and without identifying herself.
"She was directed by visitor services to proceed to the visitors' main gate and take the guided tour, according to procedure.
"She left without entering the mosque, after being asked to do so, due to the fact that she had taken some pictures that do not conform with the conditions and regulations put in place by the Centre's management to regulate visits in a way that takes the status and sanctity of the mosque into consideration."
