Rihanna’s third annual Diamond Ball took place in New York City Thursday night, and it was definitely a star-studded affair.
The “Wild Thoughts” songstress was joined by Dave Chappelle, Lil Kim, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Beyonce and more.
The Diamond Ball raises money for the Clara Lionel Foundation. The foundation was created in 2012 and supports education, health, and emergency initiatives around the globe, helping students from Caribbean countries attend college in the U.S., according to Fader.
