Dari satu sumber yang boleh dipercayai, dalam Blog Daphne Iking menyatakan tidak ada tatu sepertimana yang digembar-gemburkan sejak beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini..namun ianya hanyalah Tatoo untuk tujuan filem dan lakonan sahaja (menurut Erykah Badu)..
Walau apa pun alasannya..tak kiralah untuk tujuan lakonan ataupun memang sengaja nak letakkan tatoo seumpama itu (tatoo dengan adanya nama Allah)..lebih-lebih lagi diletakkan di badan merupakan satu penghinaan kepada umat Islam dan Allah S.W.T..
Jom kita tengok dan baca skit apa yang Daphne Iking tanya Erykah Badu berkenaan dengan TATOO nya itu..
I
had the pleasure of interviewing Ms Badu the afternoon before the
announcement -- and from what I saw upclose and personal, she had NO
tattoo.
Someone from the press asked her about the controversial tattoo. It was for a movie.
When
I went twittercrazy explaining this upon hearing the news, there were
one or two naysayers saying that I was not entitled to give my opinion
as I am not "muslim" enough and "don't know anything about Islam". Basically, they asked me to shut the eff up. Yes. A muslim telling a
muslim that I should not comment as I am "not Muslim enough", so I
should "shut the eff up". Nice. Great example you are showing...
Cussing at me like that.
Anyhoo, again ... as I had mentioned on my Timeline; here are my thoughts on this.
1)
When I interviewed her, I did not see any signs of a tattoo. (she
pulled up her off shoulder smock for the shoot, but nope; no tattoo.
Picture of Erykah Badu and I taken on the 27th Feb at Mandarin Oriental KL. Interviewed her for Bella, Ntv7.
The controversial picture that was shown in The Star . This caused the big hoohah.
And it was done for a movie, as mentioned by Ms Badu herself.
Did you know that she is not just a singer songwriter, composer, midwife (YES. She is a trained midwife), but an ACTRESS too?
Most
of the time, when taking a role, we have to adhere to the look and feel
of the character played as per the directions of the producer/director.
And to dress accordingly too. And if one needs to don bodypaint with
inscriptions on it to fit the role, so be it. It's just acting.
But, I shall not press further on this. As I am not "muslim" enough to comment apparently. So.
