Kevin Hart is set to host a Rihanna charity event next month, where Lionel Richie will perform.
The Get Hard and Ride Along funnyman is sure to provide some laughs, while Lionel will provide the entertainment at the second annual Diamond Ball, which will be held on December 10 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.
The black-tie event benefits Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation, which promotes education and arts around the world.
The 27-year-old singer established the foundation in 2012, which is named after her grandparents Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.
Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino will receive the Diamond Honours Award at the event.
Rihanna said: “This foundation is close to my heart and I am so grateful for Michael Rapino’s support and commitment to our cause. No one is more deserving of the first Diamond Honours Award than him.”
Brad Pitt, Kim Kardashian, Salma Hayek and Ne-Yo were amongst the guests at last year’s Diamond Ball, which was hosted by talk show presenter Jimmy Kimmel.
The event raised more than $2 million.
Rihanna said: “I’m so proud of the work the Clara Lionel Foundation has done in its first year and can’t wait to celebrate with the iconic Lionel Richie and incredibly talented Kevin Hart at this year’s Diamond Ball.”
