Fresh from her most recent breakup with Chris Brown, it appears Rihanna may have ruffled her fans’ feathers for reportedly showing up to her concert extremely late. According to reports, the singer showed up to her rescheduled Boston appearance three hours late. Rihanna had to reschedule her show in Boston in March after suffering from laryngitis, but it appears the concert last night didn’t start off so smooth. The Daily Mail reports:
She left her fans disappointed in March when illness caused her to cancel her Diamonds World Tour in Boston.
But after rescheduling her concert for Monday night, Rihanna further angered her patient fans by turning up to the stage three hours late – causing them to boo the singer as she performed.
And with no opening act for the show at the TD Garden venue, concertgoers were quick to take to Twitter to voice their frustrations over the singer’s tardiness.
One fan wrote: ‘Boston waited 2 months and then Rihanna was 3 hours late to her packed concert. She deserved to get booed! We were mad as hell.’
Another wrote: ‘@rihanna just showed up over three hours late in Boston for a make up show since she canceled a few months back due to sickness. Im over her.’
And while no reason was given for Rihanna’s lateness, many speculated that it was because the basketball fan was watching the Chicago Bulls take on Miami Heat in the opening contest of the NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals.
One Twitter user wrote: ‘@rihanna 2-3 hrs late for your show in Boston, huh??! #disrespectful #noexcuse basketball was more important huh?? Don’t come back.’
And another added: ‘Thank you @rihanna for playing an hour long concert and lip syncing the whole thing. I’m glad u “balled out” for Boston.’Others suggested that the singer could be finding things hard to cope with following Chris Brown’s admission that the pair were no longer together over the weekend.
The publication goes on to state that Rihanna made no apology for showing up late, however, plenty of her fans also took to Twitter to show support despite her tardiness, and claimed the performance was well worth the wait.
None of Rihanna’s fans should complain when she performs late. This is a normalcy for her.
Right!
Exactly. And she better watch herself with Boston. They are on 10 because of those bombings and a lot of charity is being done for the families affected. If she keeps this up, the bad girl gig will die early and she will not have a career for long.
I thought she was always late to her shows. #shrugs
Why does she do this? it’s so unprofessional. It’s one of the reasons I wouldn’t pay good money to see her.
Rihanna pulls stunts like this because she knows her fans are die hard and will take anything she gives. All she does is fake like she cares about them on IG by responding to them here and there, and they remain loyal and take the crap she gives them in real life. It’s smart of her in my opinion.
Three hours? What the hell was she doing?
She’s getting too big for her britches. You have to be on time and show respect to your fans.
Agree!
Beyonce would never…
Disrespectful as hell. And why does she never apologize when she’s late? Very rude.
In Rihanna’s fans eyes, she can do no wrong so better them than me. I’d be done with her if I was there. People pay good money to go to these concerts, show up on time.
Again? Damn shame.
Yall, relax. She’s going through a breakup and she isn’t perfect. She still gave a great show DESPITE being late.
Did she gloat that she was the most influential star and that she didn’t have any challenge?How about this one:Be more professional,stop parting so much when you’re in tours,sing and dance better,be more humble and respect your fans and others…hum…what you think…….
Her team had to sober her up….that takes time.
