Rihanna gave her first full show in almost eight years on Friday (1), performing during a prewedding party for the son of an Indian billionaire.
She sang 19 songs in Junagadh, India, celebrating the union of the couple Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani. He is the son of businessman Mukesh Ambani, founder of Reliance Industries, who is worth $83.4 billion.
It was the singer's first performance since 2016, not counting the 15minute Super Bowl halftime show, the American Football Championship final and her performance of “Lift Me Up” at the 2023 Oscars.
According to Rolling Stone magazine and website TMZ, Rihanna is expected to receive between $5 million and $8 million (or almost R$40 million) for the performance, which featured Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Ivanka Trump on the guest list 1,200 people.
In addition to Rihanna, the evening's artists also included illusionist David Blaine, Coldplay's Chris Martin and electronic duo Chainsmokers.
Rihanna's most recent album “Anti” was released in 2016. There is no information yet about the release of the next album.
