Rihanna is known as one of the greatest female pop stars in history. However, in recent years, the singer has been selective about her live performances.
Instead, the singer has focused on her business ventures while also embracing her role as a mother to two children.
Rihanna performed at the wedding of the richest man in India's son
Recently, Rihanna garnered attention with her performance at a private event, the wedding of Anant Ambani, the son of India's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, who has a net worth of $114 billion.
The pre-wedding ceremony boasted an impressive guest list, with over 1,000 attendees, including notable figures such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Ivanka Trump.
Reports indicate that Rihanna was paid an astounding $6.3 million for her 90-minute set. However, despite the exorbitant fee, her performance has faced criticism.
Rihanna's performance at the wedding cost $6.3 million but received much criticism.
Rihanna's performance quickly gained traction on social media, sparking mixed reactions among fans.
The video, which was shared by a fan on X (formerly Twitter) and spread across various platforms, captured the attention of viewers.
In the viral footage, Rihanna can be seen wearing a striking fluorescent green bodycon outfit that shimmered under the lights throughout her appearance.
During her set, the talented artist delighted fans by performing beloved hits such as "Stay" from 2012, her career-launching smash "Umbrella," and the collaborative track "Consideration" with SZA.
However, after a snippet of her performance went viral, some fans speculated that she no longer prioritizes her music career and instead focuses on her business ventures and being a mother.
One person said: She’s just had two babies. Come on guys! She sang the songs- that’s what she was paid to do. Next time pay for a DJ if they want better quality or sound ? Shes human fgs.
A second wrote: I think she looks good, great set list, she’s moving, she’s got dancers. What’s the issue? I saw her once on her tour and she was a bit naff. No stage production, just a bit soul-less really.
A third commented: It’s over. She should count her money and enjoy life. Clearly, she has not kept herself in shape and she couldn’t possibly do more than stand in one place and shake.
While a third commented: Maybe she wasn't feeling well after having butter chicken. If she rocked too hard, that green dress could have easily gone yellow mid performance.
Rihanna was captured downcast after her performance went viral on social media.
After her performance at the wedding of India's wealthiest man's son, Rihanna addressed the VIP audience:
'Thanks to the Ambani family, I'm here tonight... In honour of Anant and Radhika’s wedding... Thank you for having me here. May God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.'
The singer looked downcast after videos of her £5 million ($6.3 million) concert in India for the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant went viral on social media.
The event on Friday featured a multitude of VIP guests, indulging in the lavish affair hosted within a gated compound constructed by Mr. Ambani's Reliance company. Festivities included performances by Cirque du Soleil acrobats, an impressive light and drone show, and an animal show.
