The party was hosted by Bryan "Birdman" Williams and Ronald "Slim" Williams - founders of hip-hop label Cash Money - to celebrate the launch of Jay Sean's album, All Or Nothing. They reportedly spent £100,000 on just the Cristal champagne for the bash to ensure a star attendance. They wanted to give the UK based singer a party that would be talked about, a party befitting his homecoming.
The hosts were apprehensive Rihanna, who is promoting her own album Rated R, may not show up, but Rihanna did. She arrived fashionably late at 1 AM, hugged her friend Jay, apologized for being late, and sat herself at a VIP table. She sipped some champagne and was soon dancing to Jay's performance of Down. That was when the DJ did the unthinkable, playing Chris Brown track.
The Umbrella star froze in her tracks and returned to her table. She signaled to her entourage that the party was over and was soon out of the place.
A source told UK's Sun:
"Getting Rihanna there was the icing on the cake. Who knows what possessed the DJ to start playing Chris? It was such a dumb thing to do. Rihanna had looked ready to party as she chatted with Ice-T. But as soon as that song came on, she sat down and raised her eyebrows.
"She couldn't believe how insensitive the DJ was. She thought he probably played it to get a reaction. She wanted to leave there and then."
Rihanna, who was in London for her Sunday performance on X Factor, had recovered her good cheer by Saturday, when she was spotted leaving Wellington club in Knightsbridge, London with a large green umbrella in London's heavy rain.
A gust of wind caught her umbrella and blew it inside out, but Rihanna didn't mind getting wet. She carried on partying and was later spotted wearing sunglasses at Bungalow 8 nightclub on St Martins Lane in London.
Saturday also happened to be the day the Barbadian singer's Umbrella was voted the best of the decade.
Rihanna wowed the audience on the X Factor Sunday with a solid performance of Russian Roulette.
