According to Fox News , Rihanna received $6 million to perform at the pre-wedding celebrations in March.

Rihanna performed her hit track Stay after almost eight years and social media was flooded with videos of her performance. She donned a light green dress with a thigh-high slit and sparkling pink leggings.

According to Brides magazine , she wished the couple on their joyous occasion. “Thank you for having me here. God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations,” she said, before launching into the opening verse of the song We Found Love . She asked the crowd, “How many of you believe in love? Make some noise for love.”

“The show was the best,” she gushed after finishing her gig. “I haven’t done a real show in eight years, so I want to come back.” After her performance, Rihanna got the opportunity to partake in the celebrations as a guest. She used the opportunity to showcase her killer dance moves while grooving to Miley Cyrus ‘s Party in the USA .
