In March, Rihanna was criticized when she made a brief musical comeback at a pre-wedding event for Indian billionaire Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant.
Despite reports that she was paid more than $6 million for a 90-minute performance, the singer was heavily scrutinized for her alleged lackluster performance.
Videos of the star performing at the bash went viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the superstar mercilessly mocked by users for ‘seemingly doing the bare minimum’.
One user shared a video of the performance on the social media platform and asked, “My people pay that much for her? They could have had Bollywood stars and a full production instead and it would have been better than this.”
Another person commented, “I know it’s basically for a birthday party/wedding event but come on. I’ve seen more lively performances on SNL.”
