Rihanna Threw a Tantrum Before She Cancelled Her Grammys’ Performance

I dream of a day when musical divahood is as acceptable as an athlete being accused of domestic violence. It gets to the headlines once, an insurmountable of people jump to the defense and chances are the event is never to be spoken of again.

If you were one of the 25 million people who tuned into watch the Grammys Monday night, you know that after that mishap of the wonderful Andra Day being mistaken for Rihanna in a duet with Ellie Goulding, Rihanna canceled her performance altogether.

Who knows if the two are related, but if showing up at the Grammys in the same dress is a faux pas, can you even imagine what it’s like to show up at the Grammys with the same face? Sources close to Rihanna have shared conflicting accounts. The official word is that Rihanna came down with a bout of bronchitis that made it absolutely for her to take the stage. The unofficial word on the street is that the singer was unhappy with the rehearsal. Before cancelling, sources on set say that Rihanna was very vocal about her displeasure. It all seems very Kanye-esque.

Before you jump on your high horse and thinking ‘oh my god, how could she?!’… Why the f**k shouldn’t she be upset? Do we not want the quality of our art to be to our standards?
