Rihanna congratulates RRR team: Fans and the team of Indian blockbuster RRR are euphoric after the movie’s Naatu Naatu won a Golden Globe in the Best Song category. Song composer MM Keeravani received the trophy on stage while other team members— director SS Rajamouli, actors Ram Charan and Jr NTR — cheered him on from their table.
Soon after the winner was announced, pop singer Rihanna congratulated the team as she walked by the RRR table with her partner ASAP Rocky. The Hollywood Reporter’s reporter Chris Gardner shared a video of the same writing, “THIS! Rihanna has such class. As she and Rocky walk by (I think to the bathroom) Rihanna congratulates the RRR table for their best original song win for Naatu Naatu in her category.”
Ram Charan’s wife Upasana Kamineni Konidela thanked Rihanna on her Instagram handle.
Pitted against Rihanna, Swift
RRR song “Naatu Naatu” was competing against Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Taylor Swift’s “Carolina” from Where the Crawdads Sing, Lady Gaga’s “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick and “Ciao Papa” from Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.
Gardner had earlier tweeted that there was silence as Naatu Naatu was announced the winner. Everyone was expecting Rihanna will take home the trophy for her song Lift Me Up. His tweet read, “I think everyone was expecting Rihanna or Taylor…” This upset RRR fans. Soon, some of them responded to his post, reminding him why it deserves the place of honour. One user commented, “Not Rihanna, Not Taylor my brother..You know Naatu?” The journalist wrote back, “I do know! I wasn’t being cruel, just reporting on the perceived reaction. Im sorry if it seemed otherwise but RRR is a phenomenon and I have no doubt it will spread more, and more people, like those here in the room, will embrace it and the music as days go
Respect for Rihanna
The user then clarified himself in another tweet, “It wasn’t about you, sir. It was a moment from the actual song itself. Naatu Naatu. Just changed it to the current context on a lighter note. Mad respect for Rihanna. Not just for her singing but for her tweet during the farmers protest that rattled the world’s largest democracy.”
Besides Original Song for Naatu Naatu, RRR was also nominated in the Best Non-English Language Film category. Argentina’s Argentina 1985 won in the category.
