Clareesya apologizes for controversial 'takbir style' social media post

Singer Clareesya, a member of the music group Robokop, has faced public criticism following a social media post on Threads. The controversy arose from a photo in which she appeared in revealing clothing while raising both hands, captioned with the phrase “gaya takbir” (takbir style).

Netizens expressed disapproval, arguing that using a term associated with religious prayer in the context of a provocative pose was inappropriate. The post gained significant traction after being shared by various social media accounts.

Clareesya issued an apology for the commotion and discomfort caused by the post. She clarified that the intention was not to disrespect religion, but rather to express personal gratitude and happiness regarding a career milestone—specifically, the opportunity to perform at a major concert such as The Sounds Project.
