The man who filmed the ‘insane’ footage of Rihanna’s billionaire wedding performance has hit out at Samsung for 'lying' about his video.
Last week, the pop star was performing for the son of India’s richest man at his luxurious pre-wedding party.
The likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates were among the 1,000 lucky invitees as Anant Ambani, the son of Mukesh Ambani (India's richest man), partnered up with his long-time girlfriend Radhika Merchant.

With an eye-watering net worth of $117 billion, the family reportedly paid £5 million to get Rihanna to do a rare performance.
She was said to have had a 19-song set-list for the wedding, including hits like ‘Rude Boy’, ‘Diamonds’, ‘Where Have You Been’ and ‘Umbrella’.
Speaking to the very VIP audience in India, the star said: “Thanks to the Ambani family, I'm here tonight... In honour of Anant and Radhika’s wedding... Thank you for having me here. May God bless your union. I wish you all the best. Congratulations.”
But a video of Rihanna's show has sparked a fiery debate online, as smartphone footage showed off an impressive zoom-in look while she sang 'All Of The Lights'.
The crispness of the video, in such low light, made people wonder what phone it could have been taken on.
As the iPhone vs Android debaters came out in their thousands, it was Samsung's official X (Twitter) account which took credit for the footage.
"I just came to show the power of my Galaxy S24 Ultra," they wrote, before the person who supposedly took the video cleared the air.
X user @joh_masse wrote in response to Samsung: "U think I’m lying about a f**kn video ? Here the proof so yall leave me alone."
"I TOOK THE VID WITH AN IPHONE," he clarified.
Although the owner of the video says he took the clip on an iPhone, some viewers are still not convinced.
"This is definitely not iphone there are hell of videos on youtube where S23 U vs Iphone 13 pro max camera Comparison present," one person thought.
"No shot that was taken on a 13 Pro Max…. I have a 14 Pro and zooming in that far doesn’t look anywhere near as sharp as this," a second argued.
"Well tbh nobody could guess it’s an iPhone until the owner said so and Samsung too thought it was a Galaxy, a third said.
"It has become too popular for zoom that most people automatically assume it’s a Galaxy Ultra. But yeah now they need to delete this post asap."
LADbible has contacted Samsung for comment.
