A viral video of Rihanna’s performance at the private event pre-wedding party of the son of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani is causing a stir.
In a clip that appears to have been posted by Instagram user johmasse, Rihanna can be seen in high-quality footage performing “All of the Lights” before the camera zooms in to show the viewer that she is watching from afar. The stage becomes almost invisible when the camera moves completely away.
X users got hold of the footage, which led to a lively debate. A user said it was the “best ad” for Android, prompting many responses that agreed it was the type of device being used.
The original creator responded to the comments and said he used an iPhone, however. In an Instagram story later shared on Xwrote: “You’re asking me which phone I used to record videos. This is the phone: Apple 13 Pro Max. I’m not an Android user and never will be, no shade.”

A contextual note saying that metadata showed the footage was shot on an iPhone 13 Pro Max was later added on the X. The note also linked to the Instagram story.
Neither the Instagram story nor the contextual note has stopped some people from debating the origin of the footage, the videographer notwithstanding publish further evidence of using iPhone on X.
The show was Rihanna’s first full live show in nearly eight years, aside from the 2023 Super Bowl. There has been rampant speculation about how much Rihanna earned for her performance.
Anonymous sources told India Today that the performance fee could be around $8 million to $9 million.
