Rihanna Private Performance in India: Pop Star Visited The Country For Business-Related Things Too?

Rihanna has been quietly enjoying her private life with her family over the past few years, so fans were shocked when she suddenly performed in India for the pre-wedding celebrations of Radhika Merchant and Anat Ambani. The singer's private show comes at a hefty price, as she was reportedly paid millions of dollars, but there is something bigger than her appearance. That's why she agreed to travel to India; was it business-related?

According to Fandom Wire, Rihanna's show for Mukesh Ambani's son could also be a partnership to bring her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty, to India through business relations.

Since Rihanna has been more focused on her lines of business and earned millions from her cosmetics company, many believed that she also brought her entrepreneurship tactics to the country when she arrived for the private show.

It was noted that Ambani's company, Reliance Retail, will reportedly acquire business rights to Sephora India, a massive beauty chain not only in the country but also around the world.

Rihanna is involved in this because her products are only exclusively available through Sephora stores, and this partnership could make her earn millions of dollars.

As of this writing, the pop star and the Indian Billionaire have yet to confirm whether the reports about their partnership are accurate or not.

Rihanna Performs in India

Business Insider said Rihanna's appearance in India was her first full show in over eight years. Some of the clips of her performance made rounds all over social media, but instead of being celebrated, the musician received negative feedback from online users.

Many noticed the pop singer's performance was lackluster as she had no energy during her private show.

Throughout the night, the musician reportedly played over 19 songs, which included some of her biggest hits like "Diamonds," "Work," "Where Have You Been," and many more.

Aside from the criticism, Rihanna also faced speculations that she might be pregnant with her third baby with A$AP Rocky. The singer gave birth to her first born in May 2022 and another in August 2023.

How Much Was Rihanna Paid For the Private Performance in India?

Daily Mail UK reported that Rihanna's starting price for this event was around $6 million, but the pop star has yet to confirm it.

It's only fitting for an artist like her as her net worth is estimated to be around $1 billion, thanks to her lines of businesses such as Savage X Fenty and Fenty Beauty and her music industry sales.
