Rihanna sued for her skipping her grandmother’s funeral bill? Rihanna may be one of the leading ladies of music with plenty to celebrate these days, but the singer has made it clear on several occasions that she is still struggling to cope with the passing of her grandmother Gran Gran Dolly. Rihanna was very close to her grandmother, and from time to time she shares with her many fans precious moments they shared together via her Instagram account. Considering she is a millionaire who cranks out hits with the best of them, it’s no shocker she’s the one who paid for the funeral bill. But now it appears things may have gotten messy since the funeral home she chose to put together her grandmother’s going home service is suing her. The company claims in the lawsuit Rihanna didn’t pay the bill in its entirety and owes more than $150k. TMZ reports:

Clara Brathwaite died in June, 2012. Her body was sent to Barbados for burial, and Rihanna wanted a party, complete with tents, multi-media large screens, huge exotic floral arrangements — the whole kit and caboodle.

But parties/funerals come at a price … and the company that threw grandma’s final shindig claims the grand total was more than $150,000, and Rihanna paid only about a quarter of that and refused to pay more.

The lawsuit claims Rihanna claimed the bill was exorbitant and she refused to pay the balance. The funeral home claims Rihanna’s demands came at a hefty price.

 

 

Rihanna’s camp hasn’t released a statement on the current lawsuit as of yet.

  1. First the accountants and now this. Rihanna needs a sharper team around her to make sure she’s not being a fool with her money. She can have all the hits in the world and still go broke when it’s all said and done.

  2. So she can afford to pay for ghetto gold grills in the shape of AK 47’s but she can’t pay her granny’s funeral bill. Interesting.

      1. Bow Down was Bey’s thing when have Ri become someone that anyone needs to bow down too. Sorry the only thing she is remembered for is smoking weed and getting her a-s beat.

  3. @SMH your a die hard fan for a little girl that would probably knock you across your head with a mic at a show. This little girl needs to get her finances in order instead of wasting her money. Hate her on Bad remix totally messed the song up. Who mad…. im no hater just cant listen to the little baby music its not my cup of tea.

  4. These business especially in the carribean when they know who’s
    Going to pay the bill all of a sudden the price triple . When you go to the caribbean they have prices for locals and a different on for visitors

  5. seriously 150K for a Funeral ? I think that is absurd. I can agree with Rihanna on this one. They are trying to take advantage of her celebrity & milk her for what she’s got.
