Rihanna has sparked controversy after a karaoke performance at the Girls Love Karaoke event in New York City on Sunday received widespread criticism.
According to a report by Daily Mail, clips of the singer performing her hit “Needed Me” went viral on social media, triggering a wave of negative reactions.
Fans expressed their disapproval on X, with one writing, “Is this really Rihanna? My cat can sing better,” while another joked, “The mic was bleeding,” and a third asked, “Is this edited? This sounds horrible.”
Many fans speculated about her long break from music, with one commenter saying, “Now I see why we haven’t been getting any music,” and another suggesting, “She did this so folks will stop asking her for music.”
Despite the backlash, some fans praised Rihanna’s fashion sense and her successful cosmetics and lingerie brands. The singer, who shares two sons, RZA and Riot Rose, with partner A$AP Rocky, has reportedly been working on new music, with rumors circulating about her exploring various genres and collaborations.
In the meantime, Rihanna will lend her voice to Smurfette in the upcoming Paramount Animation film The Smurfs Movie, slated for release on February 14, 2025. Reports indicate that the movie’s soundtrack will feature new songs written and recorded by Rihanna.
