Rihanna, the music icon of our time, has recently faced some backlash for her performance at a pre-wedding gig in India. Despite being considered one of the greatest artists of her era, fans have been criticizing her for what they believe to be a lackluster and low-energy show.

The pop star was reportedly paid over $6.3 million for a 90-minute set at the wedding of India’s richest man’s son. With such a hefty paycheck, one would expect Rihanna to give it her all. However, footage of her performance shared on social media has led many fans to express their disappointment.

The event boasted an impressive guest list, including prominent figures like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Ivanka Trump. But even with such a high-profile audience, Rihanna’s performance failed to impress.

One user on X commented, “Rihanna just don’t give a f**k.” Another fan shared their experience attending Rihanna’s concerts, saying, “People acting like Rihanna hasn’t always performed like this… I LOVE Rihanna, but I always tell people her concerts have been some of the most boring I’ve been to.”

While some fans defended Rihanna, pointing out her rumored pregnancy with partner A$AP Rocky as a possible reason for her subdued performance, others agreed with the criticism. One fan mentioned, “She pretty much has lost any interest to be a performer. Which is good for her because she’s now a mother but bad for us.”

Criticism of Rihanna’s performance also spread on Reddit, where fans expressed their disappointment. One user jokingly compared it to their childhood talent shows, remarking, “Me and my cousins when we were 12 putting on a ‘talent show’ in the living room for the fam went harder.”

Despite the divided opinions, fans have made it clear that they expected more from Rihanna’s performance. As a celebrated artist, their disappointment is understandable.
