It seems that cancelling at the last minute doesn’t sit too well with Donald Trump. After Rihanna cancelled her performance at his charity function at the last minute, Trump was extremely mad, though some of his anger had to do with the fact that Rihanna performed the next night at the NBA All-Star game.
PerezHilton.com reports that Rihanna was paid $500,000 to perform at Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Florida for an event to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. However, Rihanna said at the last moment that she couldn’t attend because she was still getting over an illness, and her doctors advised her not to fly to the event. The singer was sick with laryngitis and bronchitis during her performance at the Grammys.
Jennifer Hudson was called in to replace Rihanna at the event, and Trump had nothing but praise for the songstress for helping him out at the last minute.
However, when Rihanna performed the night after she was set to perform in Florida, Trump had something to say. Access Hollywood reports that Trump said that Rihanna showed a “lack of respect” by cancelling his performance and then performing at the NBA All-Star game.
