Nation of Islam Leader Farrakhan Calls Rihanna ‘Filthy’ and Her Fans ‘Swine’

When it comes to being opinionated, few people fit that definition as well as Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan, who recently voiced his thoughts on Rihanna. In the past, Farrakhan has spoken out against America and the gay community, calling gays and lesbians "filthy" and "swine." Farrakhan has once again utilized these harsh words, but this time around he was putting the Barbadian singer and her fans on blast.

As PopEater recently reported, Farrakhan recently delivered his annual Savior's Day Speech in Chicago a few days ago, and he had some choice words for the Barbadian songstress. Farrakhan called her "filthy" and also bashed her entire fan base, calling them "swine" for supporting Rihanna's career.

Luckily, Rihanna won't take this kind of ridicule, and the singer quickly jumped to the defense of her fans. On Monday, the singer took to Twitter to express her thoughts on Farrakhan's comments. She wrote, "A minister says I perform filthy,sat+watched the filth,then called u SWINE for doin the same! Haa, Is that judgment in ur tone? #justgetsbettR." She then continued, "I certainly don't think u are swine! But a holy man of God does!!! #swineNavy."

During the speech, Farrakhan continued his streak of nasty and sanctimonious remarks by praising L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, for creating a religion that could "civilize white people." Farrakhan also vowed to continue supporting his longtime friend, Libyan leader Muammar el-Qaddafi, despite the uprisings that are currently underway in the country. Libyans have united to try and dethrone Qaddafi due to his brutal and unjust reign.
