Billionaire singer Rihanna surprises staff at fancy restaurant after late-night meal

Proving she’s still down-to-earth, singer Rihanna made a generous gesture after staying at a fancy restaurant past closing time.

Rihanna did her part to help staffers at Michelin-starred restaurant Caviar Russe in New York on Thursday night, helping to tidy up after she and a group of friends asked the crew to stay open past closing so that they could enjoy a few late-night bites.

The new mum, 34, was dressed comfortably in baggy jeans, an oversized No Limit Records jersey, a pair of lace-up pointy-toe heels and Tiffany & Co. jewellery for the New York City outing, Page Six reports.

A source tells Page Six the beauty arrived at the caviar bar with a group of six girlfriends who enjoyed – of course – caviar, in addition to champagne and sashimi bites until 2am.

As they wrapped up the evening, the Needed Me singer was “seen helping the waitstaff clean up and push the bar stools back into place since she stayed so late”.

The singer has been hitting the streets of New York quite a bit lately, often for date nights with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, a Harlem native with whom the Fenty Beauty founder shares her only son, born in May.

Last week, the couple were spotted at Richie Akiva’s new members-only hotspot, The Ned, where a spy told us they appeared “chill and definitely happy. She looked amazing”.

The billionaire stunned in an emerald green leather miniskirt and matching silky shirt, which she unbuttoned low enough to show off her lace black bra.

The night before, however, the star went with a more comfortable fit, rocking a vintage TLC football jersey and sneakers.
