Tommy Genesis gets slammed

Indian-origin rapper Tommy Genesis is facing backlash for her music video True Blue, where she seems to be dressed as a Hindu Goddess. In the video, she is seen using a cross as a prop while making inappropriate gestures such as licking the cross. The video has sparked outrage and offended both communities, with many feeling that it disrespects their culture. The video was released on June 20.

In the video, Tommy is seen sporting blue body paint, wearing gold jewellery, and a red bindi. Her real name is Genesis Yasmine Mohanraj, and her roots trace back to India.

“This creator must be cancelled because wtf is this , stop using our religion for your cheap publicity. Take art classes , do something creative,” read one comment, with another writing, “What’s happening to all the comments about cultural appropriation?”

“Take it down,” one suggested. One social media user shared, “There’s a line between creative expression and blatant disrespect — and this crosses it. Capitalism or clout-chasing doesn't justify mocking someone’s faith. Do better”.

“A very dumb video and a very dumb story to justify it. This in no way is representation of roots or your vision, if you call this vision its crooked,” read one comment, with another reading, “This is not art”.
