Rihanna is a renowned pop star, who is the second-best-selling female music artist of all time. She has now landed in a controversy for wearing a super costly ring during the 2023 NFL Superbowl Halftime Show. Notably, she performed on stage after six years in this event.

Rihanna wore a Burmese ruby ring worth $1 million. Myanmar is known all over the world for its precious stones and rubies. However, their trade also provides funds for the military junta government of the country, which practices atrocities on its common people. Twitter is filled with criticisms of Rihanna's act now.

Rihanna is facing backlash on social media ever since an activist group called Justice for Myanmar took to Twitter and called out the pop star for her Burmese ring. Interestingly, she had spoken out against Myanmar's military regime earlier but she regularly purchases jewels from a merchant who's known for selling Myanmar gems.

Again, I hope that @rihanna will apologize for wearing #Myanmar gems at #SuperBowl. I also hope #Rihanna will use her voice and power to publicly condemn #Burmese gems.
I want to still believe that she supports the people in #Burma and our human rights. #WhatHappeningInMaynmar https://t.co/sBHjsepGM2
