Rihanna performs emotional tribute to Chadwick Boseman at 2023 Oscars

Rihanna paid tribute to the late actor Chadwick Boseman at the 2023 Oscars with a performance of her song “Lift Me Up.” The singer, who wore a beaded lingerie top, delivered an emotional rendition of the song in honor of the Black Panther star.

Boseman passed away from colon cancer in 2020, and his absence was felt at the ceremony. Rihanna’s passionate tribute touched the hearts of those in attendance, including her boyfriend A$AP Rocky, who cheered her on from the audience.

In addition to her performance, Rihanna made a statement with her fashion choice, showing up to the Oscars wearing a T-shirt, no pants, and a $380 bucket hat. Her bold look drew attention from fans and critics alike.

Rihanna was just one of the many performers at the 2023 Oscars, with Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and other stars taking the stage throughout the night. Despite the glitz and glamour of the event, it was Rihanna’s heartfelt tribute to Boseman that stood out the most.
