Rubi Rose was on the receiving end of some hefty backlash on social media over a tweet about Ramadan.
Muslims worldwide are preparing for the holy month of Ramadan, which begins later this week, commencing on the evening of Mar. 22 in the U.S.A. and ending on the evening of Apr. 20. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community.
On Monday evening (Mar. 20), Rubi Rose was slammed by fans for tweeting, ”Ready for Ramadan 🤲🏾.”
“U bent over covering ya poom poom in ya profile pic , talm bout ready for Ramadan,” read one tweet that was viewed over one million times and garnered almost 50,000 likes.
Fans objected to Rubi Rose tweeting about the holy month in light of her provocative profile picture. At the time of her Ramadan post, the rapper and model’s Twitter avi was a photo of her looking back at the camera while bent over, a hand covering her nether regions.

I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me

While she didn’t address the backlash directly, Rubi Rose did retweet a statement from City Girls’ JT “I love learning the hard way ima touch the stove every time!” the tweet read. The “Wifey” hitmaker also shared a statement about social media. “Twitter & Ig really two different places lol,” she declared.
While some fans blasted Rubi Rose for her tweet, others were far more encouraging.
“May Allah make it easy for us and change us all for the better,” wrote one fan. “Don’t pay attention to the bad mind people on here. It was nice to see you tweet this.
