French Montana, an American rapper, finds himself in a controversy after people got a peek at his upcoming album cover. Social media, especially Muslim users, are enraged at the scant disregard shown to women in niqab.
This is the cover that has got the internet up in arms:
On one hand, you see hijab/niqab clad women, all of them sporting latex thigh-high boots.
Naturally, people had a lot of opinions about it. Sexualizing women is nothing new in the music industry, but obviously the choice of attire has struck a nerve with a lot of tweeps.

You are aware not all muslims are arabs right? Hijab is something which is worn by Muslim females across the world from different ethnicities. Please don't confuse culture with religion. What French Montana did was extremely disrespectful and should not be defended by anyone!
