Rihanna's Performance Sparks Controversy at Indian Billionaire's Wedding
Rihanna’s whirlwind visit to India for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding festivities has left fans and critics buzzing with mixed reactions.
Gracing the event with what was anticipated as a “40-minute electrifying performance”, Rihanna arrived equipped with a 12-foot-tall luggage that immediately went viral.
Despite commanding a fee reportedly double that of Beyoncé for a similar gig, the “Umbrella” singer faced backlash over a show described by many as “lackluster” and “boring.” Social media was ablaze, with fans noting Rihanna’s hefty paycheck of 8-9 million USD and a business deal that seemed to reward minimal effort.
As the richest female musician, a title bestowed by Forbes in 2021, Rihanna’s decision to quickly jet back home post-performance has left a divide among fans and observers. Her brief interaction with photographers and police officers at the airport, while endearing, did little to sway the overall opinion formed by her recent stage outing.
