Rihanna Skips Trump Charity Event for NBA All-Star Weekend

Comments (44)


It appears that someone has beaten Donald Trump to the punch of leaving a job before hearing his trademark phrase, "You're fired!"

Over the weekend the billionaire business mogul was shunned by pop star Rihanna, who was scheduled to perform on Saturday night for a charity event at Trump's luxe Palm Beach country club, Mar-a-Lago. To Trump's dismay, the Grammy Award winner canceled on Saturday morning, claiming to have bronchitis.

Unfortunately the last minute cancellation was hard to digest for the real estate titan.

According to The Palm Beach Post, Trump allegedly called the 'What's My Name' songstress immediately following the news saying; "That bronchitis you don't really have better get cured, and it better get cured fast."

Apparently Trump was fully aware of Rihanna's scheduled halftime performance at Sunday's NBA All-Star game in Los Angeles, in which she performed alongside Drake and Kanye West. He went on to display his feelings on the 23-year-old singer's actions to the Southern Florida newspaper.

"For Rihanna to go to the All-Star Game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect," he said.

Luckily Donald Trump found a quick replacement in Jennifer Hudson who took on Rihanna's scheduled slot. "Nothing was missed. Jennifer's a beautiful girl. She came on her day off even though she performs almost every night," he said. "She is an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better."
