According to viral clips circulating online, Rihanna was fully immersed in Carey’s performance, swaying and singing along as fans do at festive concerts. However, a fellow attendee reportedly shouted at the singer, telling her to sit down to avoid obstructing the view. While brief, the exchange quickly became a meme-worthy moment across social media, with fans sharing their opinions on the incident.
Some viewers defended the fan’s actions.
