Is the comeback lackluster and lazy? Even though it’s not a big stage, it’s still a big number of guests and a big revenue–magical dance–wild diamond–Rihanna Performs First Concert in 8 Years. 

Rihanna recently made a splash with her first concert in 8 years, but it wasn’t just any show—it was a private performance at a pre-wedding party in India for the son of an Indian billionaire. Rihanna reportedly earned a staggering $6 million for the gig, which was attended by around 1,200 guests.

Despite the exclusive setting, some critics weren’t impressed, labeling her performance as lackluster and lazy. But let’s be real here—this wasn’t a high-stakes public event where Rihanna needed to prove herself. When you’re paid millions for a private gig, the expectations are different. It’s not about wowing critics; it’s about celebrating with the guests and fulfilling the contract.

What’s more frustrating is the unnecessary criticism of Rihanna’s appearance. She’s a mother who’s had two children back-to-back, and any changes in her body should be celebrated, not scrutinized. It’s time to stop the body-shaming and appreciate the beauty of womanhood in all its forms.

In many cultures, a belly is seen as a sign of good luck, symbolizing fertility and abundance. Rihanna’s embrace of her womanly form should be applauded, not criticized. So let’s lay off the negativity and focus on the positive—Rihanna’s return to the stage after years of anticipation. We’re eagerly awaiting her next album, and when it drops, you can bet it’ll be legendary.
