Rihanna is not letting her billionaire status get to her head as she lent a hand to restaurant staff by helping them tidy up when she and her friends stayed past closing time during a night out.

The “Diamonds” singer was enjoying a late-night meal with a group of friends at the Michelin-star restaurant Caviar Russe in New York City when their evening ended up late, Page Six reported exclusively last Saturday, Sept. 3. The group had caviar, champagne and some sashimi bites until around 2 a.m., and Rihanna offered some assistance to the restaurant staff.

Rihanna—donning baggy jeans, an oversized No Limit Records jersey and lace-up pointy heels—was spotted “helping the waitstaff clean up and push the bar stools back into place since she stayed so late,” as per report.

This gesture by Rihanna earned praise from fans and observers, who stressed the importance of treating restaurant workers well.

“If Rihanna can respect restaurant staff, I don’t see why everyone can’t either,” one @qiqiaimxn said.

Another netizen, @creamy_mango_,  said that they do not consider Rihanna’s actions “bare minimum.”

“Rihanna had a girls night out with her friends and helped the restaurant owner clean up and [you all] calling that the bare minimum? Let’s be honest a lot of other females would’ve had a girls night out, trash the place and just leave,” the netizen pointed out.

“Rihanna staying at a restaurant to help staff clean up (after she and her party had them open longer) is some queen shit. I love Rihanna man,” one @xogeeuh also commended the singer.

Rihanna has been seen on several outings in New York recently, often for dates with her rapper boyfriend A$AP Rocky. The couple have a son together, who they welcomed last May.

Meanwhile, the singer recently dethroned model Kylie Jenner as Forbes’ youngest self-made woman billionaire. Rihanna, 34, ranked No. 21 on the list with a net worth of $1.4 billion (about P79.79 billion), while Jenner is no longer considered a billionaire by Forbes and ranked No. 41 with a net worth of $600 million (about P34.20 billion).  /ra
