Rihanna may be hitting all the right notes with her business endeavors, but it appears that there may be a little rust at play musically.
It’s well documented that the diva has hit pause on releasing material as she builds her entrepreneurial empire.
And it seems the break has taken its toll on her vocal chops.
For, during a performance at Girls Love Karaoke in New York City, she audibly suffered a vocal malfunction.
Full story below…
While performing her 2016 hit ‘Needed Me,’ it became clear that RiRi needed to find the right note – yet it eluded her in earnest.
See whar we mean…

Ouch.
Wow 😂
I’m sorry people are only just realising now she can’t sing? lol
Her voice has always not been that strong live and if her songs were so damn catchy I don’t think she would be as big as she is.
This was no “MALFUNCTION” 😆 🤣
She been having vocal malfunctions her entire career. Theres a reason why she never had big sales or tours , only #1 microwave McSingles…
Patti LaBelle had a vocal malfunction don’t mean Rihanna can’t sing.
Huge voices acquired a wobble at some point. But that’s because those are HUGE instruments. Rihanna is physiologically a mouse compared to Patti; a Dramatic Soprano can drown out orchestras. . . let alone autotuned Umbrella girl.
What did Jay EVER see in her voice? From her ear-traumatizing cover of Mariah’s Hero at 16 TO THIS? He shoulda kicked her outta the top floor window the night she signed her contract. To think some vocal experts call her “a lazy Soprano”… All teasing aside, I think she’s getting voice lessons and her coach is training her head voice more; it sounds stronger here. Maybe she quit smoking or the 18-month-nicotine-free pregnancies freed up her higher range? Time to work on pitch accuracy, RiRi.
It was her distinct tone and hazel eyes. Everything else was workable🤷
Unfaithful is one of the worst vocal productions ever. Rihanna been a poor excuse of a singer since 2005.
Jay saw her light skinned spring chicken body and exotic accents which Beyonce will never had 💅🏽
Riiight, Ms. LL. You’ve just reminded me he’s a Sagittarius and those LOVE everything foreign/exotic.
Lol the lies and delusion. Jay z never saw rihanna as a beauty. Hed be with those pretty video vixens before her. Beyonce had a much better body than her at that time. Perfect hourglass shape. Thick hips with a thick but flat waist. Beyonce has a very unique s*** body. Ms Forehead’s legs got better over time. That’s about it. And who wants light skin when you can have Beyonce stunning tan orange color. Meh some ppl like accent some could care less. Even with an accent that doesn’t make me mesmerized with her when Beyonce is so much finer.
Leave Rihanna alone! 😭 I agree this is not it. Just needs to exercise her vocals A LOT like she could afford a vocal coach even when she’s not releasing music. She’s just having fun…. I think once she’s had a baby girl she’ll return to music 🤞🏼
How you are able to find any improvements in this is baffling.Gid bless our ears after hearing that.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don’t think she even cares, she was just having a laugh. You made it seem like she was performing at a venue 🙄
The excuses. A professional recording artist would never be caught slipping, jokingly or not. The girl can’t sing. Never could.
Flop. I doubt she even remember the words of her song
It’s karaoke for Christ sakes…aren’t you supposed to have fun sounding bad and smashed?!
She can’t sing either way it go😂😂😂
Not being able to sing aka relatability is literally Rihanna’s entire appeal. 💯
For once you’re funny lmao
No singing ass b**** lmao
I Love RI but that was bad😂
Clearly this isn’t a concert and she’s just acting stupid and doesn’t care. Y’all jus pressed😂😂😂😂😂
LMAO, literally every singer has had a vocal malfunction. MJ, BReezy, usher, beyonce, luther, stevie and more have all had vocal malfunctions CAUGHT ON CAMERA…my point? this means nothing move around
You are wrong for including the last four, there’s no way they could ever have a moment anything like this. Besides, the general consensus is this was not a malfunction. This is just how she often sings.
