Rihanna was paid $6.3 million for her 90-minute set at a billionaire's wedding.

Rihanna, the famous singer, who has been relatively quiet about performing in recent years due to her focus on business and motherhood, recently came back at a private event: the wedding of the son of India's richest man.

The lavish wedding, attended by over 1,000 guests including famous figures like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Ivanka Trump, was a grand affair.

Rihanna reportedly received a staggering $6.3 million for her 90-minute set, making headlines for being one of the highest-paid performances in recent times.

However, it was not something that really attracted users online lately.

A viral clip from the event, shared by a fan account called FentyStats on X, showed Rihanna's performance of "All of the Lights," was actually the spotlight of this event.

In the footage, she can be seen standing atop a podium, donning a lime green, sheer, sparkling dress, while delivering an electrifying performance.

Why has the footage captured Rihanna's performance gone viral?

What made this video go viral was the quality of the footage captured on an iPhone.

The clip started with a close-up shot of the singer, providing a clear and detailed view of her entire performance.

But when the camera zoomed out, it revealed the astonishing distance between the stage and the audience who filmed this video.

Rihanna and her fellow performers suddenly became super tiny on the stage and barely recognized by the naked eye.

The unexpected twist in the video caught the attention of viewers, who praised it as an incredible advertisement for the capabilities of the iPhone camera.

Numerous online users on X shared their amazement after seeing the footage. 

Can't believe this was filmed by an iPhone!!!! One user said.

No, I think this video was recorded by an Android device, another user affirmed.

I really want to know what type of iPhone this audience used to record Rihanna's performance, the second asked.

Was this really recorded by an iPhone or Android? Does anyone know what type of it? I wanna buy it now!!!! Another wrote.

Maybe iPhone 15 Pro Max, I guess... Someone said.

I've searched for the identity of this phone for the whole day, can someone tell me what type of it, plssss!!!!! Another user begged.

Instead of people guessing it was shot with an iPhone, I'm pretty sure it was shot with an Android device, a user said.

However, the video owner's revelation has caused controversy about its authenticity.

Many people believe that the iPhone 13 camera cannot capture clear and detailed video at such a distance.

Some people also agree with this opinion and confirm that they tested it on their own iPhone 13 Pro Max and the results were not the same as the viral video recording of Rihanna's performance.

As a person who has 13 Pro Max, I don’t think so. That was an iPhone because my phone didn’t do that, one user affirmed.

He is probably capping 13 pro Max can't zoom more than 15x with this clarity, the second wrote.

Physically impossible lmao, the third said.
