Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is the movie that pulled RiRi out of her musicless slump. He wrote and recorded a song for the sequel to Marvel’s 2016 hit Panther starring Chadwick Boseman.
The song, titled “Lift Me Up” is a tribute to Boseman who was unable to reprise his role as Black Panther after dying of cancer. The song had already topped the charts and was a complete hit with fans of the film, but Rihanna, nor her fans would have never thought it would earn an Oscar nom.

The new song was nominated in the Best Original Song category on the March 12 show, he shares songwriting credits with director and screenwriter Ryan Coogler, composer Ludwig Göransson who has won his own Oscar, and Nigerian singer Tems who has cleaned up. up to awards across the music circuit.

The “Umbrella” singer’s fiercest competition in this category is “Naatu Naatu”. Bollywood songs cleaned up at the Emmys and for good reason. It’s the epic life of RRR a what-if film about two revolutionaries fighting against the British colonialists, the film explores what would happen if they met in their separate quests for freedom.
The film has its own significance in the game, it was the first song from an Indian film to receive an Oscar nomination for best song. So, yes, a very big problem. It has been described as “infectious”, “pounding” and a “fan favorite” by various film reviewers.
Compared to Rihanna’s lonely and sad song, it’s really two songs that can’t be compared which makes the competition even more interesting. Rihanna has been making the rounds this awards season thanks to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever so whether she wins or not we just have to be happy that we got so much face time with RiRi.
