In a recent event that has stirred controversy, Australian rap artist Iggy Azalea performed a song during her concert in Riyadh, part of the “Gamers” festival, which some believe insulted divine entities. The performance coincided with an incident where her pants ripped, revealing sensitive parts of her body. This led to her being prevented from continuing her performance, which many activists described as “depraved” and “degrading.” They expressed their dismay at such concerts being held under the patronage and support of the Saudi regime.<\/p>\n
