Cardi B Apologizes After Many Were Offended By Her Hindu Goddess Photoshoot

Back in October, Cardi B unveiled the Club C Cardi shoe, a collaboration with Reebok that would go on sale on November 13. As a part of its rollout, she did a cover shoot for Footwear News, but the resulting image received a large amount of criticism after it appeared to emulate the Hindu culture, which many found disrespectful.

One person labeled it as “plain disrespect,” saying that the cover is “in no way cultural appreciation,” while another asked, “how do celebrities not understand that using other people’s culture to promote their brand is wrong on so many levels!?” In response to the backlash, Cardi apologized for offending people with the photoshoot.

“When I did the Reebok shoot, the creatives told me I was going to represent a Goddess; that she represents strength, femininity, and liberation, and that’s something I love and I’m all about,” she said. “And though it was dope, if people think I’m offending their culture or their religion I want to say I’m sorry. That was not my intent. I do not like disrespecting nobody’s religion. I wouldn’t like people to offend my religion.” She added, “I wasn’t trying to be disrespectful; maybe I should have done my research, I’m sorry, I can’t change the past, but I will do more research for the future.”

Footwear News also shared a statement on the issue with People. “Yesterday we posted content from our exclusive Cardi B cover shoot. One of the images was intended to pay homage to Hindu goddess Durga, and our intent was to show a powerful woman,” the magazine said. “However, we realize we were not considerate of certain cultural and religious perspectives and how this could be perceived as deeply offensive.” They added, “Today, we’re releasing another cover from the shoot that was a subscriber exclusive.”

AZSH

AZSH (pronounced “Ash”), a Miami-based dance pop soul artist, has a new single called “On My Way” that’s a declaration of strength rather than a typical song. Using her unique “Miami Pop” style, AZSH combines sultry vocals, emotional honesty, and cutting-edge production to create a moving song that speaks to people who feel let down, unsure, or as if their dreams have been put on hold. “On My Way,” is a reflective anthem with a smooth 110 BPM groove. Centered on resilience and personal evolution, it’s a soundtrack for the in-between moments perfect for listeners moving forward with purpose.

“On My Way” is all about not giving up. It captures the emotional weight of disappointment, getting through hard days, and the will to keep going no matter what. AZSH is honest about problems and turns them into strength, using each setback as a reason to grow. The song shows a quiet confidence that grows over time. It shows that change doesn’t happen all at once, it takes time, belief, and inner strength.

The track sound fits with AZSH’s artistic style. Her voice is warm and expressive, flowing perfectly over a smooth, soulful, and uplifting production. The music conveys a sense of movement, which aligns with the themes of progress and moving forward. This song works just as well when you’re alone, thinking about things, as it does when you’re listening to an uplifting playlist to improve your mood.

“On My Way” is an important part of AZSH’s growing story as an artist and storyteller. It represents freedom, change, and happiness, not as ideas, but as real things that come from hard work and determination. In “On My Way,” AZSH shows that being strong doesn’t mean failing, it means being able to bounce back after each failure. This song is for people who know they haven’t reached their goal yet but are sure they are making progress toward it.
