Rihanna: this jewel worn during the Super Bowl show that caused a lot of ink to flow

Like every year, the final of the American Football championship, called super-bowl, was interspersed with a big show organized during half-time. As the Philadelphia and Kansas City teams returned to the locker room, Rihanna came to do the show on a stage set up especially for the occasion in the middle of the field. For her first live performance since 2016, the singer performed a medley of her various hits. Visible in a superb total red look, the one who officially announced her 2nd pregnancy once the show was over sported notably an imposing ruby, worth a million dollars.

However, the singer’s wearing of this gemstone during her Super Bowl performance was not to the liking of some viewers, and more particularly people from Burma. At least that’s what the media reported. Coconuts, which covers news from several countries on the Asian continent. In fact, like the majority of rubies that exist throughout the world, the one Rihanna wore during Super Bowl halftime is from Burma, given that the country is the world’s leading producer. The singer’s ruby ​​came precisely from the Bayco Jewels jewelry store located in New York.

Rihanna: social networks are unleashed against the singer and her ruby

“As Myanmar has been plagued by economic turmoil since the military overthrew the civilian government in February 2021, one of the ways the junta government has managed to sustain itself is through the sale of gemstones“, highlighted Coconuts in his article. As a reminder, the association called Global Witness, which specializes in the fight against the looting of natural resources, but also against political corruption in developing countries, revealed in a report that there was a proven link between gemstone mining and the maintenance of military control in Burma. The fact that Rihanna therefore wore a ruby ​​from the country sparked strong negative reactions on social networks.
