Rap-Up.com || Rihanna Wows at World Cup Concert in Azerbaijan

Amidst rumors of rekindling her romance with Chris Brown, Rihanna escaped to Azerbaijan for a special concert. The “Diamonds” singer took the stage at Baku’s Crystal Hall venue on Saturday night to celebrate the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup tournament. Dressed in a multi-colored sarong and crop-top, she wowed the crowd with an electrifying set, opening with “Only Girl (In the World)” and closing with “We Found Love.”

She did not perform her new single “Diamonds,” but she plans to sing it at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, airing December 4 on CBS.

Her seventh album is expected to drop before the end of the year and she will launch her “Diamonds World Tour” in March 2013.

Check out more photos and watch RiRi perform live below.

Some of ya’ll are bored of her or like others said ‘still waiting for her to wow me’ but my question is why click on the post ? When you dislike someone/something don’t you try to avoid it at all costs? So instead of leaving disparaging comments on someone that bores you why not click on artist posts that you like? Either way boring, lip synching Rihanna sure ain’t thinking abt ya’ll. :)
