The British singer, 22, was accused of glamorising gun crime as she posed with a gold handgun, despite assuring her online followers it was fake.
Several Instagram followers commented on the photo, with one named 'mitchacarter' blasting her: 'You are an idiot. Young children look up to you. Fake or not, promoting guns to look 'cool' is totally out of order. Another named 'benjiman21' wrote:
'Lets promote gun crime. #d**khead #stupid #dumb #unnecessary #notcool #thinkaboutwhatyouredoing #influential #useyourpowerwell.' One fan wrote on Twitter: 'Bit distasteful of rita ora to upload pictures of herself with guns on Insta' given the situation.' However, Rita showed she was thinking of the victims of the Boston bombings as she followed the controversial image up moments later with another Instagram image of the worlds 'pray for Boston'. Apparently the images were taken on Sunday night, however Rita, Cassie and Adrienne only got round to posting them on Monday afternoon - shortly after the bombings.
