Louis Farrakhan Calls Rihanna's Performance 'Filthy' and Her Fans 'Swine'

By Boombox Editors Posted Mar 2nd 2011 02:00AM

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan is famous for his outspoken ideals on politics and current events, but these days the controversial Muslim speaker has a bone to pick with an unlikely target: Rihanna.

Farrakhan, who delivered his annual Savior's Day Speech near Chicago on Sunday (Feb. 27), blasted the pop star for her scantily clad style of dress and sexually suggestive dance moves, writing her off as "filthy" and calling her fans "swine," a term which he also reserved for gays and lesbians.

Not one to keep her mouth closed, Rihanna quickly responded to Farrakhan's rants. "A minister says I perform filthy,sat+watched the filth,then called u SWINE for doin the same! Haa, Is that judgment in ur tone?" she tweeted on Monday. "I certainly don't think u are swine! But a holy man of God does!!!"

During his speech, held at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., the 77-year-old also praised Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard for creating the religion to "civilize white people," and discussed his longstanding friendship with Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi. Farrakhan vowed to stick by him in light of his alleged crimes against humanity, as citizens in his country are calling for him to step down.

While Qaddafi remains the forefront of the uprising in the North African country, singers Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Usher have all been pressured to return funds received from the leader for past performances. Nelly Furtado has announced that she will give the $1 million she received for performing for Qaddafi's family to charity.

In the past, Farrakhan has had a good standing rapport with several members of the hip-hop and entertainment community, embracing the likes of Snoop Dogg, Russell Simmons and Wyclef Jean.

He also called for a global Caliphate that day. Do you know what that is? He instructed over 18, 000 Muslims in America, to rise up and fight to defeat Capitalism and the Western Way of Life. He believes the 12th Imam (The Madji) has returned and that Islam is poised to rule the world. Pay attention to this nut! He has a lot of followers!!

Rihanna is not a "ho." But the woman that raised you must not have set a good example if this is the way you speak of women.

What has he ever done? Mouth off and contribute nothing but venom and hate. He needs to just croak already.

I love rihanna, she is a great entertainer.She is one of the best of her Generation.I don't necessarily share the view of farrakhan but i also think that rihanna needs to be more aware of her status today.She is seen as a model and that said have to give the right exemple to her fans, especially little girls that will be tempted to copy her.

By Mike Rath

What is this crap with "role models?" Can't parents lead by example while their children are young?? Show them who the role models are supposed to be, not wait for them to pick one out..

By Mrs. Parker

LOL! I can always tell when one of "these" people is dating your daughter! LOL! Get over it.

Why all of the finger pointing? Why can't the two of them just get along?

By Ted Bundy

Well, that makes sense since she is filthy and swine as well.

He has also called for a Global Take-Over of Islam.... it's called a Caliphate.
He had over 18 thousand people at an event where he declared the 12th Imam is back on earth and all Muslims are to rise up and wipe out the Western Way of life. Sounds like a crack-pot, but he means it - we need to be more aware of the numbers of people following these nut jobs. America is in real danger!!

By lgc65

you can stop with the posting & reposting of your made up lies. i actually listened to the minister's message and he didn't call for any such thing, c3momma. what a liar!

you'll say anything to try and convince people to ignore me.....
