Rihanna To Perform in D.C. On Inauguration Night
What would a historic occasion be without Rihanna performing?
It doesn’t matter that she won’t be performing at THE inauguration ball for the president. But then again, neither is Beyonce.
Our girl is set to perform in Washington D.C. at one of the many authorized inauguration balls on inauguration night.
Rihanna is still honored to be asked to perform on such a historic night when a biracial man will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.
The “Umbrella” hitmaker will play for the Recording Industry Association of America’s Presidential Inauguration Charity Ball, to benefit Feeding America.Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America tells People.com, “We could not be happier that Rihanna will be performing at the Inauguration charity ball to benefit Feeding America.
“Rihanna’s involvement will help raise awareness about the prevalence of hunger in America and help bring more aid to the 36 million Americans who do not always know where they will find their next meal.” (Source)

Go Rhi-Rhi!Glad she was invited!
Good for Rihanna. I look forward to the lovey dovey Chrihanna inauguration pics.
I WONDER IF THEY KNOW SHE CAN’T SING AND HAS NO STAGE PRESENCE … just wanted some eye candy *shrugs*
and good morn
Ok…So, what if the inauguration ball she is performing at is thrown by The Gangster Disciples on M street? IF IT AIN’T “THE” INAUGURATION BALL…Why is this a story?
Kym…I saw Rhianna at Essence this year. You are right about her stage presence. BUT…tell me why THE WHOOOOOOLE DAMN CROWD WAS ROCKING OUT TO SOME HER SONGS!
When Umbrella came on it was a wrap.
Divine…. I can’t answer that .. cause i’ll NEVER EVA go see her … not even for free … if I’m paying my money .. I want to be entertained by someone who can SANG !! .. and don’t sing 3 words .. put the mic to the audience and let the crowd finish it for you .. hell if I wanted karoke i would have saved my 60+ dollas and went to a local dive .. ol
@DB cause she has the IT factor and hot songs..lol
This is a story because there is more than ONE offical Inaug. Ball and she is performing at one of them. Kanye, Sting are performing at other offical balls as well. I believe Bush had 8-9 offical balls when it was his turn. Not sure how many Pres. Elect will have.
Don’t know what Beyonce had to do with this post but I’m sure Rihanna’s thrilled to be performing.
@ Kym — she is EYE candy. I won’t front I purchased the $2 BOOTLEG – Rehab and that other song, pick me apart piece by piece are my songs. It doesn’t matter who is performing to me … I hope they all do well and the audience enjoys it – that’s what matters, I am more interested in the actual INAUGRATION!
I just want to know if Sandra is going to still be posting about politics a year from now.
“Rihanna is still honored to be asked to perform on such a historic night when a biracial man will be sworn in as the 44th president of the United States.”
A biracial man…huh Auntie???? Are you W.I.?!?!? Because if you were…that would EXPLAIN A LOT!!!
Obama ain’t biracial when he’s trying to get a cab…a job…or run for POTUS…in the state you live in…
Then…he’s just a NI**A!!!
@buttercup – nothing but Sandra can’t help her self, it spaert of her OBSESSION.
@buttercup Beyonce was begging to perform at the Inaug. in several interviews thats why her name came up in this post. I believe some ppl even started a petition to try and stop that from happening.
I wish J Hud was well enough to perform because I know the offer was made to her if she was up to it. Bless her heart. I am still praying for her.
good moring beautiful people…i think its great she got chosen (im playing nice today daisy)…i mean its for charity, she has hits (im not saying she can sing) n shes a pretty girl…yall know a bunch of ole perverts will likely be there…let them fools spend their money!
There will end up being more balls for Barack, than Bush. It was on CNN the other day how he already has over 300k resumes which exceeded Bush and Clinton
@Blog I hear ya..lol Yes it is for a good cause. I am going to donate to my loacl food bank again next mth. I sponsored a family for turkey day. I try and do my part. Times are hard and donations are down everywhere.
