The good people of Abu Dhabi were treated to a fresh Rihanna performance hours ago.

There, as she supports her new LP ‘ANTI’, she rocked he fans’ worlds with a showing of her latest single ‘Love on the Brain.’

Watch below…


The show stood as the last to be served up by the star’s ‘ANTI World Tour’ which has generated over $35 million since its launch on March 12th 2016.

Next year will see her deliver her ninth studio album under Universal Music and take on releases by Katy Perry, Rita Ora, Jay-Z and Beyonce as well as her rival Kehlani, whose ‘SSS’ set will drop in its first quarter.

Will R9 fare as well as the performance above?

    Oooh, errrrm, well, arrrgh & ouch?

    These were the sensations of my earhole ?

    She’s had better days this year.
    Liking the slightly extra meat on her though suits RiRi.

  2. BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 November 28, 2016

    I want to like this song but can’t get into it, HOWEVER I like that she branched out and did a ballad that was out of her usual element. Kudos!

    • Datredd23 November 28, 2016

      She has done countless ballads lol

      • BEYSTAN_ SINCE 1997 November 28, 2016

        Never said she didn’t. I just feel this one is different then the ones I head previously

  3. 2bad2bme November 28, 2016

    Y’all posted this to be shady as usual. ?

    • …And? November 29, 2016

      If she could actually SING then they wouldn’t have anything to post or shade her about, correct?

  4. IStan4Rihanna. (Caribbean Queen). November 28, 2016

    THE ABSOLUTE SHADE. This site is so transparent, it’s unbelievable. ?.

    .

    Anyhow, aside from that awfully strained note at 2.18, it was a good performance overall.

    .

    P.S: Who was that singing along? He is a bonafide “stan”.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 28, 2016

      The SHADE is everything………ON A SERIOUS NOTE, FRIH HAS TO BE CAREFUL WITH SMOKING AND ALL THAT STUPID S*** SHE DOES. IF SHE KEEPS ON THIS WAY, IN A FEW YEARS TIME WHATEVER ‘VOICE’ SHE HAS RIGHT NOW WILL NOT AGE WELL AND WILL BE A COMPLETE MESS VERY SOON.

  5. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy November 28, 2016

    Y’all just be making sh*t up just to shade Rih…but the joke is every damn day she has a new achievement and y’all can’t hide it anymore

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 28, 2016

      No sis..THE JOKE ARE THOSE HORRIBLE SMOKE INFUSED VOCALS OF FRIH…..LMAO. SHE GOT DRAGGED ON THE SHADE ROOM AND TWITTER YESTERDAY. AND PLS, DON’T TELL ME ITS EMOTION OR SHE’S FEELING THE SONG…..LOL

    • Um. November 28, 2016

      Creating the post itself was shady but making what up? Do you think this was a good performance?? Then again, if you didn’t see anything wrong with her performance, then you and the navy wouldn’t be complaining about the post in the first place. Praises would be in order.

  6. Sara Jatu November 28, 2016

    We all know Rihanna is an inconsistent, lazy vocalist and artist but all jokes aside; could she hear herself? Some of those notes were excruciating!!!

  7. Um. November 28, 2016

    She is a terrible performer. Terrible. And honestly, no shade, but can someone from the Navy please tell me that that 35 million tour gross is a farce? Because I can’t breathe.

    • Datredd23 November 28, 2016

      The final tour numbers have not been calculated those numbers are very old

      • Um. November 28, 2016

        Alright. I’ll wait for the final numbers then. Cristo.

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

      Lol I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Diamonds tour > Aunti tour

  8. Mark111 November 28, 2016

    Next year will see her deliver her ninth studio album under Universal Music and take on releases by Katy Perry, Rita Ora, Jay-Z and Beyonce as well as her rival Kehlani, whose ‘SSS’ set will drop in its first quarter
    .
    Y’all already killed that new girl career before it even started. Member last year all the pop acts y’all said would stop Anti, yet Anti still charting. Hahahahahaha. (And this is the 4th year straight of y’all saying Rita is dropping an album. ?)

  9. HailLegendBeysus November 28, 2016

    Anyway in other news Rolling Stone has released their Best Albums of 2016 and Lemonslayed made #1!!!! LMFAOOO at Drakes being number 40 something and Hoeanne and G******** didn’t even make the cut ????
    .
    Oh Auntie’s #25 ?

    • IStan4Rihanna. (Caribbean Queen). November 28, 2016

      Congratulations “LEMONADE”.

      .

      Now, even though you degrade Rihanna alot (I understand though, the “Navy” constantly degrade Beyonce too) I wanted to discuss the “odd” year-end placings of “ANTI” and “Lemonade” on various publications so far as I know you can actually hold a conversation.

      .

      1) TIME – Best Albums of 2016: #7 – ANTI, Rihanna.
      .
      (Beyonce didn’t make the top 10)
      .
      2) TIME – Best Songs of 2016: #1 Formation, Beyoncé
      .
      (Rihanna didn’t make the Top 10)

      .

      3) NME – Best Songs of 2016: #1 – WORK, Rihanna.
      .
      (Beyonce’ didn’t make the top 5)

      .

      4) ROLLING STONES – Best Albums of 2016: #1 – Lemonade, Beyoncé & #25 – ANTI, Rihanna.

      .

      Why are these lists so confusing? What do you think? ???????.

      • Mark111 November 28, 2016

        Because these are just magazines that means nothing. Their mission is to sell copies, TIME been kissing Beyonce @ss, prob because her fans rush out to buy it. But they need to buy her singles, maybe they would have a lasting impact on the charts. ?

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 28, 2016

        No, what FRIHANNA fans should have done was to go buy CANTI tour tickets sales…MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE SOLD OUT ARENAS..LMAO

      • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 28, 2016

        The list is not confusing…….THE ONLY ONE ODD IS TIME MAGAZINE’S PLACEMENT. BECAUSE IN JUNE 2016 MID YEAR CHART, LEMONADE WAS NO 1. I’M GUESSING THE LIST BY TIME WAS CURATED BY A SINGULAR PERSON AS OPPOSED TO MULTIPLE REVIEWERS LIKE OTHER PUBLICATIONS.

      • TheReal November 28, 2016

        Lemonade is also no. 1 on consequence of sound’s list.

  10. Danzou November 28, 2016

    Say what you will but I hear more people say they liked anti than lemonade.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 28, 2016

      When u only know NAVY members, what do u expect??

  11. GurlWepa1989 November 28, 2016

    Taylor Swift new album will be out next year too…so good luck with that. She’ll slay all of these heauxs.

    • Wonder Woman November 28, 2016

      Yaaaaas

  12. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

    She discovered a new note, U FLAT!

    • stardom November 28, 2016

      I am certified DEAD lol

    • Fancy BISH November 28, 2016

      SCREAMING!

  13. RihYonce November 28, 2016

    The Jay & Bey album is the only album I’m ready for next year ?? Bey’s solo tracks with detail are about to f****** SLAY! Trapyonce is not playing with these thots . I don’t think y’all are ready

  14. RihYonce November 28, 2016

    I hope with R9 Rihanna is smarter this time around when it comes to the album roll out and promotion. ANTI was a good album though. Hopefully she tries something different with R9

  15. RihYonce November 28, 2016

    LMAO @ Rita STILL “dropping an album” it’s been like 4 years ?

  16. HOWYOULIKEIT November 28, 2016

    What is that???

  17. Metzo November 28, 2016

    I wanna see her perform higher live lol

  18. Mi November 28, 2016

    She’s so irritating!
    Hate her body movement when she performs this song. It really grosses me out
    Can’t understand how people actually stan her. like aren’t they embarrassed ???!?

  19. TheOuyonB November 28, 2016

    TGJ is so tired for this post. So you would throw Kehlani’s name in the same sentence as THAT group of women and identify her as a “rival” ? She doesn’t even command the same fanbases. Must be a slow day in the world of biased journalism.

  20. stardom November 28, 2016

    Oh please no just no it will be worse than a disaster.

  21. @ASAPicon November 28, 2016

    Jesus Christ! Some songs arent made for certain artists….

  22. Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

    It’s really dude’s phone. The whole sound is muffled, she’s right in front of him and the video is in low res. We all know Rih kills this song LIVE, pest just don’t have anything to do because they were left with a boring and forgotten album. 🙂

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

      Umm, she sounds off key and pitchy….per usual.

      • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

        Sounds like the top 40 record to me. 🙂

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        Actually, no this doesn’t sound anything like the studio version lol. She sounds off key and pitchy, per usual.

      • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

        Sounds good to me. Another top 40 hit, just wait when the video drop, another top 10 or #1 for Rihanna. How many top 10s & #1’s Beyonce have this decade? Oh ok…

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        Hahaha YOUR HURT! This is almost as bad as the live version of American Oxygen.

      • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

        You’re*
        .
        I win. Hahaha!

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        Rihanna’s voice box was LOST last night lol. You can stay mad!

  23. The kpop guy, Matt ~ November 28, 2016

    SEIZING!!!!!
    Lmfao

  24. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

    She aint no real performer. She’s a studio artist.

  25. Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

    Love On The Brain is at #34 on BB Hot 100 (the REAL chart for single), making it her 48th top 40 hit. Will it become one her her over 30 top 10’s? Or 15th #1 hit? Wait and see. #WhatYourFaveDoing

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

      When in doubt cling to singles. Thats the only thing the Navy is good for anyways lol. Can you explain why AUNTI has only grossed 35 million since March? I thought that it was supposed to be more successful than the Diamonds Tour??

      • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

        If you knew how to read and do resech, you would know that the $35 is US only. The other 35 worldwide STADIUM dates has not been counted yet. So…

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        ^^ He always got them f****** excuses, I pray to Lord he reveals what his truth is^^

      • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

        You asked, I answered. Don’t know how my answer is an excuse, but ok. How’s Daddy’s Lessors doing? 🙂

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        ^^Exhibit A: When all else fails bring up singles.^^ The true struggle of someone who stans for a Singles Artist. Formation>Aunti

      • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

        “Can you explain why AUNTI has only grossed 35 million since March?”
        .
        Did you not asked that question?

  26. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

    The Diamonds World Tour had generated around $114 million at this time,in the US, back in 2013 and $141 million in total lol. Oh, how the mighty have fallen

    • Mark111 /.\ November 28, 2016

      I already told you that’s US only numbers. To have the answers and still remain stupid is just sad. Hahahaha!

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        No s*** sherlock! I said that at this time back in 2013 the DIAMONDS TOUR had grossed way more in the US. Take up an ESL class because you clearly haven’t mastered the English language

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        Wikipedia? Lol. That’s cute.

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        Don’t worry queen, I’m quite sure Sam will post the end of the year grossings…Which the Formation tour will DOMINATE.

  27. Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

    Is the Formation tour actually over or will Beyonce be adding more dates???

  28. LB November 28, 2016

    Sounds like a top 40 hit to me, some “singers” are struggling for those this decade it seems.

    • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

      Some “singers” are struggling to hit thay c note after 10 years in the game

      • Amerikkka’s Most Wanted ~ Tyler November 28, 2016

        ….I use the word singer loosely

  29. Sherrele November 28, 2016

    I had to stop the performance because that was not good at all. A cat dying! I’m sorry I tried to get into her voice but I can not!
