‘She know what a billion can do and knew she had to be there’: DJ Akademiks reacts to Rihanna doing a show for Billionaire’s son for a reported $6M
Rihanna Reportedly Paid $6m To Perform At Indian Billionaire’s Wedding
Rihanna performed her first concert in eight years over the weekend at a lavish wedding in India for the son of billionaire industrialist Mukesh Ambani.
TMZ reports that RiRi put on a show in front of 1,200 guests, including the groom Anant Ambani, the youngest son of Mukesh Ambani, and his bride, Radhika Merchant. The performance marked the first full concert Rihanna has played since 2016, though she did perform at both Super Bowl LVII and the Academy Awards last year.
The concert featured 19 songs, which according to the setlist included hits like “Bitch Better Have My Money,” “Work,” “Umbrella,” “Stay,” “Run This Town,” and of course, “We Found Love” (awww).
Rihanna is said to have been paid $6 million USD for the appearance and, based on the elaborate stage setup seen in some leaked video, it sure looks like she’s ready to begin playing shows again.

Rihanna ripped for ‘lazy’ performance at Indian billionaire’s bash despite ‘being paid $6M’: ‘She’s a scammer’
Rihanna has been panned for her “lazy” and “boring” performance at a pre-wedding bash for Indian billionaire Anant Ambani— despite reports she was paid over $6 million for the 90-minute appearance.
The “S.O.S” singer, 36, took to the stage at the lavish event in Jamanagar, India on Friday, performing in front of some of the world’s richest and most powerful people.
Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Ivanka Trump are among the attendees who have jetted into the city for the festivities.
Ambani, 28, is youngest son of India’s biggest business tycoon, Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani.
He is set to marry long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant in July.
Videos of Rihanna performing at the pre-wedding event have gone viral, with the superstar mercilessly mocked for seemingly doing the bare minimum.

“She just don’t give a f–k,” a critic wrote on X, before a second sassed: “Ri is the laziest performer ever! Even Taylor swift brings more energy.”
“She got that coin and said ‘F–k y’all ima do what I can,’” another chimed in.
Another described her as a “scammer,” saying she was over-paid and under-performing.
At the party, Rihanna sang a medley of her famous hits, including “Umbrella, “We Found Love,” “Stay,” “Rude Boy,” “Diamonds” and “Work.”

“I’m here tonight in honor of Anant and Radhika. Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations,” the Fenty Beauty CEO gushed to the couple on stage.
Ambani’s father has a current net worth of $113 billion, and is the head of the company, Reliance Industries.
The pre-wedding party is a three-day event and is set to continue on into Monday, March 4. According to the Daily Mail, the event cost over $120 million.
But it doesn’t seem Rihanna is sticking around for the entirety of the festivities.
On Saturday, the “Ocean’s 8” actress was spotted departing from Jamnagar Airport less than 24 hours after her performance.
