A viral video of Rihanna's performance in private pre-wedding party of Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's son it is causing riots.
In a clip that seemed to be posted by Instagram user johmasse, Rihanna can be seen in high-quality footage performing “All of the Lights” before the camera zooms out to show the viewer watching from a distance. The scene becomes almost invisible when the camera zooms out completely.
X users captured the footage, which led to a lively debate. A user said it was the “best advertisement” for Android, prompting many responses that agreed on what type of device was used.
The original creator addressed the comments and said he used an iPhone, however. In an Instagram story later distributed to Xhe wrote: “You're asking me which phone I used to record the videos. This is the phone: Apple 13 Pro Max. I'm not an Android user and never will be, no shade.”
this is unintentionally the biggest ad for android, the zoom was insane https://t.co/ZYonHg5vNJ

A context note saying the metadata indicated the footage was shot on an iPhone 13 Pro Max was later added to the X. The note also linked to the Instagram story.
Neither the Instagram story nor the context note stopped some people from debating the origin of the footage, regardless of the videographer posting more evidence of using iPhone on X.
The performance was Rihanna's first full live show in almost eight years, aside from the 2023 Super Bowl. There has been rampant speculation about how much Rihanna earned for her performance.
Anonymous sources said India Today that the performance fee could be somewhere between $8 and $9 million.
