RIHANNA fans have said she did the “bare minimum” while performing at the pre-wedding bash for the son of Asia’s richest man.

The supporters slammed the star for not putting on a thrilling stage show for which she was paid a whopping £4million.

The Fenty mogul performed a private concert for Anant Ambani, son of Asia’s richest man Mukesh Ambani who has a net worth of $114 billion.

She was seen singing all her hit songs, including the megahit collaboration with Calvin Harris called We Found Love, but was barely seen dancing.

Fans soon noticed her half-hearted performance – and claimed she did not bring out her A-game in the private concert.

A video of her gig was posted online with the caption: “She just doesn’t give a f***.”

One fan wrote: “Rihanna really said she’s doing the bare minimum, collecting her check and go.”

Another said: “Looks like she did not even want to be there.”

A third expressed: “[Performance] is worse than SuperBowl.”

Rihanna’s entire set, which included 19 songs, worked out to a staggering £55,500 per minute.

She said during the show: “Thanks to that Ambani family, I’m here tonight in honour of Anant and Radhika.

“Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations!”

“I love India. The show was the best. I haven’t done a real show for eight years. So I wanna come back.”

After leaving the show, the singer was seen posing with paparazzi and female police officers.

She jetted out of Jamnagar, Gujrat in the early hours of Saturday morning for her private concert, where she told journalists she “can’t wait to be back”.

‘BIGGEST WEDDING OF ALL TIME’

Rihanna’s performance on Friday night marked the beginning of the three-day-long pre-wedding bash of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, which is estimated to have caused a whopping £120million.

And the bills are only expected to go up as the couple is set to get married in June in a big fat Indian wedding.

With a net worth of $114 billion, Mukesh Ambani, owner of Reliance Industries and Asia’s richest man, is known for throwing lavish parties.

For his daughter’s wedding in 2018, Ambani reportedly paid Beyonce $6million to perform a private concert for guests.

And this time, the star-studded guest list for the pre-wedding bash included people ranging across Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington DC.

Among the invitees are Bill Gates and his wife Melinda, Mark Zuckerburg, and Ivanka Trump

Disney chief Robert Iger also joined the extravagant event, following a deal agreed last week between Reliance Industries and Walt Disney to merge their Indian media businesses.

Other guests being expected at the Ambani event include BlackRock co-founder Larry Fink, Alphabet chief executive Sundar Pichai and former Canadian PM Stephen Harper.

Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan, cricket icons Sachin Tendulkar and M.S. Dhoni, and industry titan Gautam Adani are also invited in a who’s-who of India’s super-rich elite.

A source told MailOnline: “No expense has been spared for this three-day party. It is a jaw-dropping amount of money but when the Ambanis do something they do it big. 

“These are going to be a memorable three days with some of India’s and the world’s most famous people present. It’s going to be as lavish as you can get.”
