Videos of Rihanna performing at the pre-wedding event have gone viral on X, formerly known as Twitter, with the superstar being mercilessly mocked by users for "seemingly doing the bare minimum."

One user shared a video of the performance on the social media platform, asking, "My people paying that much for her?? They could have had Bollywood stars and a complete production instead, and it would've been better than this."

Another person commented, "I know it's essentially for a birthday party/wedding event, but come on. I've seen more lively performances on SNL."

Some of Rihanna's fans defended her in the comments, writing, "She's still a good performer. You can even hear the crowd be into it IN THE VIDEO! Leave her alone."

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Riri was seen making a stylish entrance on Thursday when she arrived alongside boyfriend A$AP Rocky for the event in honor of the youngest son of the country's richest man.

Attendees at the event, including the pop star herself, were required to honor a detailed, nine-page dress code during the event, which will feature a cocktail party, sightseeing, and a visit to an animal rescue sanctuary.

The couple spared no expense at the event, years after Ambani's sister Isha married Anand Piramal in a lavish ceremony in 2018.
