Rihanna announced she is bringing back the Diamond Ball for another year!
The annual philanthropic event—now in its fifth year —will take place on Sept. 12 with late-night talk show host and comedian Seth Meyers hosting and Pharrell Williams guest performing, she announced in a tweet.
“Our 5th Annual #DIAMONDBALL is just 2 months away!!! I’m so excited to announce our host [Seth Meyers] … and for the main event, the one and only [Pharrell] is performing!!!” she said.
Proceeds from the event will benefit the Clara Lionel Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by Rihanna in 2012 in honor of her grandparents, Clara and Lionel Braithwaite. CLF’s mission is to fund efforts that promote health, education, arts, and culture on a global scale.
“One of the greatest benefits of my job was being able to start the Clara Lionel Foundation in honor of my grandparents,” the Grammy Award-winning singer said in a statement to ESSENCE before the first ball in 2014. “There is truly nothing I’m more proud of and we’ve just gotten started.”
The fifth annual Diamond Ball will take place on September 12. A location has yet to be announced.
