“Missed Seeing U Sing, Queen”: Justin Bieber Reposts Rihanna’s Viral Karaoke Video

Justin Bieber took to Instagram to share a clip of Rihanna performing her hit song “Needed Me” at the Girls Love Karaoke event in New York City, just days before New Year’s Eve. The pop star captioned the story with, “Missed seeing u sing Queen,” sparking excitement and speculation about Rihanna’s potential return to music.

The video, which captured Rihanna’s raw and relaxed performance at the intimate karaoke event, quickly went viral. Fans of both artists praised Bieber for highlighting the moment, while others debated whether it was a subtle hint of a possible collaboration in the future.

Mixed Reactions Online

Social media was abuzz with opinions following Bieber’s post.

• One fan tweeted: “Justin and Rihanna in the same conversation? We need this collab NOW!”
• Another added: “I love that he’s giving her her flowers. She’s an icon, period.”
• Not everyone was on board, though. A critic wrote: “Rihanna was just having fun at karaoke, y’all need to chill with the ‘comeback’ talk.”

Others took a more humorous approach, with memes flooding Twitter, including one jokingly suggesting Bieber was manifesting Rihanna’s long-awaited ninth album, often referred to as R9.

Rihanna’s Recent Public Appearances

Rihanna, who has been focused on her fashion and beauty empire, has kept her musical ventures on pause for several years. Her last live performance was at the Super Bowl halftime show in February 2024, which left fans yearning for more.

While neither Bieber nor Rihanna has commented further, the Instagram story served as a reminder of Rihanna’s undeniable star power and Bieber’s admiration for his fellow artist.

What’s Next for Both Stars?

Justin Bieber recently teased new music slated for release later in 2025, while Rihanna has remained tight-lipped about her next moves in music. For now, fans are left to speculate—and hope—that this interaction might lead to something more.
