ADRIANA LIMA

Rihanna might be extremely consumed with rolling out her popular lingerie line, but finishing her forthcoming album is still a priority.

The parties at the club are so legendary they have inspired lyrics from Drake, Kanye West and Rick Ross. Today, LIV sits quiet and empty — a casualty not just of the coronavirus outbreak but of a power struggle between state and local government over how to contain the scourge. “I cried real tears,” the 46-year-old Grutman said of his last visit to the shuttered club and nightlife's seemingly bygone era. As of this weekend, that curfew is not being enforced after the Miami Gardens strip club Tootsie’s Cabaret sued and got a temporary injunction issued by a judge. Others have asked to host Zoom parties from LIV, but Grutman just isn't into it.
