Rihanna turned 21 on February 20, but a 200-person event in NYC to celebrate her big day was canceled in the wake of her alleged beating at the hands of boyfriend Chris Brown on February 8.

The singer's soiree on Tuesday appeared to be just a small gathering with friends, including Brody Jenner's pal, Frankie Delgado.

They stayed at Sean "Diddy" Combs Star Island, Miami Beach mansion and most recently were recording new music in a Los Angeles studio together. The music recording sessions are expected to carry on through this week.
