Rihanna poses in Fenty Puma boots ... as brand is slated for London party 'glamorizing drug dealing'


She is an international fashion icon.
And this Sunday, Rihanna posted an Instagram snap in which she modeled a pair of $390 platform boots she collaborated on with Puma.
The 30-year-old Barbadian bombshell showed off her legs in skintight jeans as she relaxed on an elaborately patterned plush chair.


The S&M songstress, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty in Saint Michael, was modeling the Fenty Puma women's scuba boot in brown for her 61.6 million Instagram followers.
Puma has come under fire for hosting a party that glamorized drug dealing on the same night six youngsters were stabbed in a 90-minute period on London's streets.


The sportswear giant, a favourite with celebrities Cara Delevinge and Selena Gomez, held an event in conjunction with JD Sports in an abandoned four storey townhouse in London's affluent Soho last Thursday night.
But as revellers were handed out gimmicks relating to drug deals including burner phones and counterfeit notes, six youths were attacked with knives in four separate incidents as London's violent crime rate continues to soar.

Now both sportswear brands have been blasted by community stalwarts for 'exploiting' the latest surge in violence and for glamourising drug dealing which is linked to causing the highest levels in knife and gun crime since 2010.
Visitors to the party were given gimmicks associated with drug deals as they arrived, including fake 'trap phones' and fakes £50 notes.
Guests also received a business card that instructed them to 'turn on the trap line'. Trapping is the selling and dealing of drugs, thought to be behind much of the recent violence.
The venue was covered in graffiti, with blacked out windows and dirty mattresses strewn on the floor.

Drug dealers and criminals favour 'trap phones' over smartphones fitted with the internet, GPS tracking and Bluetooth because they are harder for police to trace.
The event in Soho was held to promote 'hustlers' across the creative industries, including photographers, tattoo artists and hairdressers. 
Many were so horrified by the event, they took to social media to voice their disgust.
