Man who called out Samsung after filming 'insane' video of Rihanna performance shows proof of what it was recorded on
A man who filmed 'insane' footage of Rihanna performing at a billionaire's wedding has provided proof of the phone he filmed it on.
The video of Rihanna performing for the son of India's richest man went viral online.
The extravagant event was attended by big names such as Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, who turned out to celebrate the union of Mukesh Ambani's son.

Ambani was tying the knot with his long-time partner Radhika Merchant.
A big wedding means a big budget - and Riri was reportedly paid an eye watering £5 million to entertain the gathered guests.
The singer wowed with a staggering 19 song setlist.
However, it wasn't Rihanna's impressive vocals that had people talking over on Twitter.
No, it was the video quality of some footage of her that really grabbed attention.

The crispness of the footage, in which an audience member zoomed in on Rihanna from afar, had many questioning what was used to film it.
Inevitably, this video led to the usual arguments between iPhone and Android users.
Eventually, Samsung waded into the debate on their X account and took credit for the impressive video quality.
However, this didn't sit right with the user who shared the clip originally, @joh_masse, as he shot back: "I TOOK THE VID WITH AN IPHONE."
Despite this, the bickering still continued online as people speculated on what phone was used.
"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.
It seemed as though the question would never be put to rest.
But the video's owner has finally provided proof that he was using an Apple product.
In a follow-up tweet, he recorded his own screen as he clicked on the 'Details' section of the video.
Right there, in black and white, it read 'Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max'.
Alongside his proof, he wrote: "U think I'm lying about a f**kin video? Here's the proof so y'all leave me alone."
If you though this would settle arguments between Android and iPhone fans... you clearly haven't spent enough time online.
One person replied: "So iPhone stay winning then? Android users, sorry you gone have to hold this L."
Another remarked: "The fact that most people saw this video and thought it was Android is hilarious. Even iPhone users agreed."
Will we ever know peace between the two smartphone factions?
LADbible has contacted Samsung for a comment.
