Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis faces backlash
Canadian rapper Tommy Genesis is catching heat for her latest music video, "True Blue," which features an image of Goddess Kali that some viewers found disrespectful.
Genesis, who often explores bold themes in her work, told Office Magazine the video is "not meant for those who link it to their beliefs" and she's not bothered by the criticism.
TL;DR
Who is Tommy Genesis?
With Malayali, Tamil, and Swedish roots, Genesis started out in Vancouver and dropped her debut mixtape World Vision in the 2010s.
She's teamed up with artists like Charli XCX and Charlie Heat, modeled for Calvin Klein, and even walked with MIA at Fashion Week.
So far, she hasn't directly addressed the controversy around True Blue's religious imagery.
