Superstar Rihanna is currently on tour, but things haven’t necessarily been as smooth as the singer had hoped they would be. And that’s because she has had to cancel three shows already due to illness and she was three hours late to her show in Montreal. While it was reported earlier that she cancelled shows due to laryngitis, her latest cancellation in Houston is skimpy on the details. According to the reports, the singer’s management Roc Nation is being mum on what illness forced the singer to cancel her show in Houston, Texas. This of course has led many to speculate that it could be drugs, too much partying or even pregnancy. Rihanna’s fans whom she affectionately refers to as “The Navy” are usually very supportive of the singer, even when she cancels shows. However, this time a lot of her Texas fans are outraged although she did apologize, especially since she just posted pictures to her Instagram account before the cancellation of herself partying hard with bff Melissa Forde. Here’s some of the angry comments the star’s fans left on her Instagram account and even tweeted her:
“You not sick you out having fun. How dare you plan a tour then forget your responsibilities!! You need to also be focused on your career. I paid good money for these tickets n they were a surprise for my lil sis 18th bday n now we can’t even go!! (sic)”
Some fans who even attended earlier shows complained that her earlier performances were terrible and made them feel like the rumors of her being on drugs may be true:
“I went to her concert in las Vegas and she was clearly messed up. That was a day or two before her Houston concert was canceled.. She had to be coming down off the drugs or something. It was a hot mess.”
“Not a hot mess, just a mess. Really sad to watch. She forgot lyrics.. Could barely dance. It was sad.”
Smh. She’s so ridiculous.
Pregnant. I’m calling it now.
There’s no need to be mad, this is who they support and worship. Rihanna’s always been messy, lazy, and unprofessional. They made her a big star and now they see they should not have. Oh well.
So ridiculous. If it’s one thing that bothers me it’s when people disrespect their fans. If she has a show, she needs to understand she can’t be partying like she’s not on tour. Our bodies can only take so much after a while. She really needs to grow up and stop being so childish.
I agree. Rih is very childish. At some point she needs to understand that the whole “bad a-s” thing is really juvenile. Do your job and handle your business before you lose your fans.
LOL. I’m not surprised. This is who Rihanna is. And no she’s not “sick.” She partied too hard and didn’t want to perform most likely.
Very unprofessional. She has to stop trying to party and tour at the same time. And that’s common sense. She needs to get it together.
I actually saw her in Vegas 4/12/13 and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. She was on for almost two hours. She sang along with the track and even then she would would say “aaaaaye” and “vegasaaaaas” into the mic and just let the track play. I guess she saved any vocal ability she had for the last two songs..stay & diamonds. I was actually shocked she didn’t cancel this show or show up extremely late. It was better than I expected…but then again it’s rihanna and you can’t expect much. 2 chainz tomorrow night tho ayeeee! I’m sure he’ll be 10 times better than rih
This is why I think Rihanna’s fans hate Bey so much. They wish their fave could actually perform and put on a good show. They wish their fave could actually tour without canceling multiple shows. They wish their fave could land major endorsement deals and perform for the president and at the Super Bowl. But that won’t happen because she’s too immature and not professional. Yeah, she’s had lots of success but she is limiting herself because of her tacky behavior! #BowDown Rihanna because you can’t even handle a world tour baby girl.
LOL.
Hmm…I don’t know yall she might really be pregnant. And that would be crazy. LOL.
She’s not a good performer. So no one should be shocked that she cancels shows. Just don’t pay too much to go see her and you won’t have to be mad about it later.
Partying too much. She has to get serious about performing. She says she’s running things but she can’t even tour like a boss yet. #WEAK
I don’t know what’s going on with her but she needs to chill. She’s too old to be this messy to her own fans. If other artists can perform and tour without canceling several shows, she can too. This is why so many people feel Rihanna is overhyped and lacks talent.
Damn her fans went in.
Rihanna is just being Rihanna. Her fans loved her messiness, unprofessionalism and ratchet behavior before, so why is it a problem now?
AHHHH serves them right…. weren’t they glorifying Rihanna that she is the most influencial star and better than Beyonce…got laugh on that…..and didn’t she say that she doesn’t have any more challenges….How about this one:Stop partying so much when you’re on tour , be more professional, dance and sing better and last but not least don’t cancell your shows pretending you’re sick, cuz that ain’t sticking……Bow down and learn something with the Queen Bey…..
“Bow Down” got these chicks scared to go on stage, revamping albums, and getting defensive on Twitter. Didn’t know that Bey had that kind of power! Lol
