Rihanna Sparks Pregnancy Debate Following 'Lazy' Indian Wedding Performance: 'Album is never coming'

Rihanna shocked her fans by randomly showing up at an Indian wedding to have her first-ever concert in eight years; she was invited by one of the richest men in Asia to perform at his son's nuptials for millions of dollars.

Video clips of Rihanna performing, wearing a translucent green dress paired with a body-hugging pink onesie inside went viral online for many different reasons.

Netizens could not help but notice that the singer managed to come out of her unofficial hiatus from music to perform at someone's wedding.

According to Fox News, the "Don't Stop the Music" hitmaker was paid over $6 million to hold a full-length concert by Mukesh Ambani-the 9th wealthiest person in the world, according to Fobes-for his youngest son's wedding.

Rihanna performed a 19-song setlist, including some of her fan-favorite releases, "B***h Better Have My Money," "Pour It Up," "Rude Boy," "Work," "Umbrella," "Stay," and "Diamonds," Consequence of Sound reported.

Is Rihanna Pregnant Again?

After the video clips went viral, netizens also noticed Rihanna's body, which made them speculate whether she was pregnant again or not.

The last time the "We Found Love" hitmaker announced her pregnancy was during her Super Bowl Halftime show performance in 2023.

"I did what I had to do, right? My jumper couldn't zip up." Rihanna explained about her red outfit at the Super Bowl. "I just told my stylist to make sure it's stretchy. So the under-arm, it was stretchy, and this was baggy, but you know, the zip just stopped right there. So it just it had to be what it had to be."

The singer and A$AP Rocky welcomed their second son, Riot Rose on Aug. 1, a little over a year after the birth of their first son, RZA.

While some of the singer's fans defended Rihanna's body, stating that she might just be in the process of shedding her pregnancy stomach from Rio Rose's birth, others speculated that she has gotten pregnant again.

"Rihanna pregnant again, OMG. Look at her belly," one wrote.

"I see everybody is afraid to talk about it, but... Rihanna looks pregnant AGAIN. we all know a pregnant walk when we see it."

"I know d**n f**king well Rihanna is not pregnant again. B***h out here birthing everything but a d**m album," another added.

"If Rihanna is really pregnant again... I've accepted that the damn album is NEVER coming."

Meanwhile, Rihanna's fans defended the singer: "Let's stop discrediting black women like Rihanna bc music isn't their priority.

"She popped out two kids back to back and hasn't performed a show nonpregnant [sic] in eight years.. she had fun with her lil show! But to say she's never been a performer is a stretch!"

Rihanna's 'Lazy' Performance?

According to, Unilad, some netizens accused the singer of being lazy during her Indian-wedding concert despite being paid millions of dollars.

The videos showed Rihanna dancing minimally alongside her backup dancers, and she mostly stayed in the center of the stage, singing.

"She pretty much has lost any interest to be [sic] a performer. Which is good for her because she's now a mother but bad for us," one wrote.

However, others defended the singer, noting that she has always been this way: "People acting like Rihanna hasn't always performed like this... I LOVE Rihanna but I always tell people her concerts have been some of the most boring I've been to."
