AceShowbiz - Rihanna's appearance at the Girls Love Karaoke event in New York City on Sunday, December 29 sparked a flurry of reactions on social media. Videos of her casual renditions of singles like "Needed Me" went viral, with many users poking fun at her vocals.
"The mic was bleeding," one user wrote in response to Rihanna's singing. "Help this is horrible ðŸ˜ðŸ˜," another netizen posted. "My cat can sing better," quipped a third.
Despite the criticism, some fans defended Rihanna, saying she was simply "having fun." However, others were disappointed that she was performing karaoke when she hasn't released an album since 2016.
"So she wanna f*** around with karaoke instead of getting her a** in the booth. wtf Rihanna 😒," a disgruntled fan wrote. "Like karaoke to your own 2016 hit with nothing new released to the public?!!?" another fan captioned a meme.
Rihanna's recent karaoke performance has also fueled rumors that she may be retiring from music. Last month, she said that God had "other plans" for her career. "Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me," she said at an event in early November.
