Apparently Donald Trump isn’t too happy with singer Rihanna. The real estate mogul invited her out to perform, only to be told that the singer was battling a case of laryngitis and bronchitis prior to the Grammy Awards. The ‘What’s My Name?’ singer allegedly pulled out of making up to $500,000/hour, just to perform at the mogul’s private charity event. What made Mr. Trump even more upset is the fact that she performed the following day at the NBA All-Star game‘s half-time show. Although, Jennifer Hudson was able to perform at the last minute, Donald had a bit to say:
“I thought that (Rihanna bailing) was insulting to everyone, but 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[...]Nothing was missed. Jennifer’s a beautiful girl. She came on her day off even though she performs almost every night. She is an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better.”[Source]
A representative for Rihanna released the following statement:
“Rihanna was recovering [from] bronchitis and her doctor advised her not to get on a plane as she would risk losing her voice and damaging her vocal chords. She feels terribly she couldn’t attend but was so grateful Jennifer Hudson graciously stepped in.”[Source]
I’ll be glad when Rihanna fades out. She’s already slowly drifting away..

you know when you’re walking down the street and some less-than-desirable guy tries to hit on you? he’s telling you how “fine” you are..”hey girl, can i get that number? you fine as hell” etc. but when you ignore him, the first thing he says is “you aint all that anyway!” That’s Donald Trump.
If Rihanna is such a bad singer, why did he choose her over jennifer hudson in the first place?! I’ll tell you why; because she’s hot and she’s got star quality. Jennifer is a great singer, but she can’t compare to Rihanna. Thats why she was his SECOND choice.
HER REPS STATEMENT IS FULL OF IT. SOOO THE DOCTOR SAID NOT TO FLY BUT AS I RECALL SHE WAS SMOKING AND DRINKING AT HER BIRTHDAY PARTY THE NIGHT OF THE ALL STAR GAME? BITCH PLEASE!!! OH AND DIDNT SHE FLY TO THE UK FOR THE BRITS? SO THE DOCTOR SAID ITS OK THEN BUT NOT NOW? CONSIDERING RIHANNA WAS AT THE BARBADOS PRIME MINISTERS FUNERAL CRYING (HE PASSED AWAY AFTER A BATTLE WITH CANCER) U WOULD THINK SHE’D UNDERSTAND AND WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CHARITY FOR CANCER. JUST PROVES THAT THESE CELEBS DONT REALLY CARE ABOUT ANYTHING. HER REP COULDVE REALLY CAME UP WITH A DIFFERENT EXCUSE CUZ THIS EXCUSE IS MORE DISRESPECTFUL THAN THE ACTUAL CANCELLING.
Fuck Mr.Trump thats her life she can do watever she want do!!! Evertbody else do wat they want do, if a person dont want do someting please dont force~respect they mind, I think that was real small of him to say that because thats they business (between them), he aint been want tha girl to perform he need to be upset at his hair!!! ohh yes
well she flew to the UK for their awards right after the grammys lol…girl have a seat with that basic a** sorry
Riyawna doesn’t want it with the Donald. He’ll tear her toupe off her head and put it on his!
She’s not drifting away she’s just getting started! Get over it, Mr. Trump will.
*shrugs*
@…..!, you right, Mr. Trump will get over it. That’s why he got Jennifer. I could care less how much Rihanna can or cant sing, that was very unprofessional. Hell, she ain’t that special.
Trump is not my favourite guy ever, and his politics turn me off somewhat but damn, tell it like it is! Rihanna does not have the professionalism, talent or star quality to keep it up in this industry. She’s a beautiful fading star. I hate to be the one, but look to those like Beyonce when you want to see someone who gives you the money you pay for, is on time and on point, with stellar peformance and that what Rihanna will never have. She needs to either focus her niche J Lo style: design clothes, host a show (I could see that being dreadful but whatever), perfume, makeup — or quit. Just stop singing and making a mockery. You got pushed forward of a superior talent, Teairra Mari(not by much albeit) some years ago and it’s catching up with you.
TOO FUNNY, DONALD TALKED THAT REAL ISH.. If her voice was that bad why was she singing at ALL STAR.. SIde eyes
did u not HEAR HER at the ALL Star game? She sounded Terrible.com/WhoNeedsAVocalCoach!!!
*Sings* Turn down the mic in here baby. Extra low, i dont want ya’ll to HEAR this. bahahahahahaha
Beautiful Girl but her live performances are weakkkkkkk
Did he say something wrong…I mean can u really argue that Jennifer doesn’t sound better…Rihanna sounds horrible live we all witnessed that at the Grammys and All-Star Game!! Thats real talk…..
Aww Donald cut the bullshit!!! If Jennifer Hudson was such a better singer to you than Rihanna (which she is) Then you would have made her(jennifer hudson) your first option anyway!!!
he wanted rihanna due to her popularity not her talent, im sure thats the only reason she performed at the halftime show
GET OVER IT DONALD TRUMP.
RIHANNA DOESN’T NEED YOU AND DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOUR OPINION. SHE WAS YOUR FIRST CHOICE NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHADE YOU TRY TO THROW AFTER THE FACT. HE IS SUCH A QUEEN. ALWAYS COMING FOR A FEMALE.
THE REST OF THE PEOPLE SAYING SHE IS UNPROFESSIONAL, HAS NO WORK ETHIC ETC. DON’T SIT HERE AND ACT LIKE YOU NEVER CALLED OUT SICK FROM WORK TO GO DO SOMETHING ELSE…YEAH THOUGHT SO. THERE WILL BE OTHER FUNDRAISERS. RIHRIH ALWAYS DONATES TO FUNDRAISERS AND CHARITIES. SHE DID JENNIFER A FAVOR BY LETTING HER HAVE THAT SPOTLIGHT. SHE NEEDS IT MORE ANYWAY SINCE SHE IS TRYING FOR A COMEBACK.
your name defines everything you said a huge LOL!
Jennifer does not need the spot light more , what rihanna did was bad and really unprofessional fair enough she said her throat was hurting or whatever shit she was saying preforming the next day at the NBA was a blatant disrespect if you did not want to perform than she should have just said so , what rihanna did is called LYING LOL
And she needs to realise that and what the big shot business man said is exactly true with Jennifer she has a voice that blows while rihanna on the other hand lets not go there about talent because my Big toe has more talent than her

who cares next story
rihanna wanted to go to all star cause she wanted to hang with drake and every1 else that was there she think she’s a diva now but ummm yeah easy come easy go u big head bitch
I myself think he could have kept his opinion to himself and I know that Rhi is not a great singer but a entertainer and whatever, Jennifer she got pipe but thier are better control singer also. All of them are in the same boat anyway.The people in the same boat entertain their selves.
That lack of talent is so unprofessional and a liar! Glad the Jennifer Hudson. Such a true vocalist with real talent! F*ck the other red hair wanna be chick! #YeahISaidIt!
When Rihanna sings she sounds like a goat that’s being strangled
If Whitney Houston or Mariah Carey fail off so can “Rihanna”,
the only difference is Rihanna will not be able to make a come back like those two ladies because they are real divas and Rihanna I’m not sure what she is in the industry
Well he should have invited Jen in the first place since he likes her better.
@LadyB
You know what you are talking about. Rihanna wouldn’t be in such high demand if she didn’t have talent. Fading? That’s interesting seeing as though Loud is her best selling and in the top 5 for best selling albums of 2010. She’s not doing to bad this year either.
They lost me when they said her vocal cords would be damaged. Her camped lied and Trump had every reason to say what he did. Rihanna is getting way ahead of her self and that’s a good sign she is coming to an end and I hope soon. I see 23 is looking good for us, out of the music business for sure! Yeah!!!
worddd. and i dont doubt cuz she got roc nation behind jay z will pimp that girl like nothing. she is the Princess Of The Illuminati. she’s doing what she’s told. even if she went broke they got that girls back. suckin her to the bank. smh
wid her money……………..where is urs???
I’ve never understood how someone can make a living doing something they dont know how to do. The bitch can’t sing. Period. End of fucking rhyme book. Keep it movin.
LMFAO, sounds like somthing rihanna would do,I’m sure she had a good reason not to perform for donald trump
i went to concert when she was on GGGB tour and she was 2 hours late. she a divaaa. after that i promised i never ever spend my £ on her again. my friend when for the rated r tour she did the same she was 2 hours cuz she spent the time searching for a makeup mirror in her dressing room. smh. she has no professiona etqiquette. and yasss! jennifer may not have many number ones as rihanna. but her voice and her craft is more up scale that rihanna. writing, producing, etc.
if rihanna pee’d in her new perfume bottle yall stan would be trippin and runnin to store buying. so don’t come with oh she’s laughing to back with it. cuz they’re so many other stars that yoyou can can see how much they respect/ love by how they treat people and fans around them.
Now can u repeat that in “English”…the American way o_O
well you took that long to skim & comprehend it right? honey i would’ve sworn amazon sell english dictionarys. you amercians with your ”rumors & colors” make me lmao. DUECES!
Hold up hold up. Am I the only one confused as to how boarding a plane would spontaneously damage one’s vocal chords?!
I believe they are talking about the change in air pressure,it can mess with vocal cords that are sensitive and I guess if she’s sick that counts.
That said errr ok, I look at this as Trump saving money, since J Hud does not demand the same appearance fee as Rih, more money for his charity, lol
Haters you can wish all day. Rihanna been here for six years and is only getting bigger. She isn’t going anywhere. She’s infact establishing herself more so than ever by making herself a more marketable brand ($100m movies, high profile performances, a perfume, a soon to come fashion line,etc).
Trump called it! Jennifer does have a better voice than Rihanna, it isn’t a fact that is debatable. However Trump probably wanted Rihanna first because she is pretty and eye candy, so in exchange for the notes she can’t sing, they’ll get to see some coochie/booty poppin gyrations….
We all know Trump is a womanizer, he just doesn’t like the fact he was dissed.. so he punched back…. and it is funny!!!!
I wasn’t putting Jennifer down, just saying why Trump hired her first because of his own attraction to RiRi!!
Oh plz u all r always bitching on Rihanna – damn!!! give her a bloody break – she does what she does ppl out there like her hence her having # 1′s globally. If u dont like her then thats fine – u r entitled to ur opinion! Its surprising though how all u haters continuously read articles about her – if u hate her that much y waste ur time to read abt her…plzzz!!! as for Donald reaction (as a professional) – tactless. Clearly Rih no show bothers him n had to settle for # 2 – thats the business!!! Donald is the one who needs to get over his bald a*s self!
WTF does TRUMPH think?!?! cause he can throw money at anyone they will jump…Trumph please Rhi-Rhi phucking Jigga that’s all the money she needs…& I am not a fan of hers…it’s just Trumph think he can move mountains with money…Well then agian he could literally move mountains with money but you catch my drift…
I could care less about the Rihanna talent debate. This is a case of just being unprofessional point blank!
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO @ vocal cords being damaged.
Damaging her vocal chords I thought they where all ready damaged LOL. B***** cant sing.
XD XD
All this random negative press.. She drops a milli and all of a sudden people have beef with her. Damn!
Christopher said it best – “more money more problems”
SHE ALWAYS BAILS WHEN SHE HAS TO SING A FEW TIMES IN A ROW!!! She’s done it on tours and always cancels performances. She was trying to save that weak azz voice and still sounded like hot shyt and is still the laughing stock of the industry!!!
BEAT IT BORING UNTALENTED BAJAN!!!
the “untalented” bajan is still kicking ass on the AMERICAN charts! roger dat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kicking what? She had the first flop album and had to quickly drop another to make up for it and LOUD still isn’t platinum in the U.S. She tweeted that weeks ago and it was a lie. ROGER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*COUGH* *GAG* *BREATHE* – whew had to catch my breath after reading that b.s. ROTFLMAO!
IT’S BEEN 5 YEARS AND SHE STILL CAN’T SING OR DANCE!!! She’s holding up a spot for a person with UNDAMAGED VOCAL CHORDS!!!
IT’S HERE NOW!!! Check this video out — @MJ_BABY GIMME MONEY VIDEO http://t.co/vsvWH9T via @youtube & follow @MJ_BABY
Donald ALWAYS fightin’with women….He never picks a fight with a man. He is just a big bully with money and expects people to jump when he says so…Any artist even JHud if given the opportunity would have dumped Donald and his party to perform @ THE ALLSTAR GAME!!!
f**k all yall whose hating on her, she doesnt owe Trump shit, she can pick and choose where she wants to perform, shes got it like that, poor baby..i guess money CANT buy everything huh????????? the story of the fox and the grapes fit perfectly, u cant get those grapes soooooooo theyre sour???? ure such a child.
It obviously can’t buy you talent or a singing voice either! It’s only been 5 years LMAO!!!
OK , IS THAT OLD FOOL FOR REAL ? ??? ?
RIH CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS , I THINK , THIS OLD FOOL THINK HE’S BACK IN THE 50′S AND 60′S WHEN BLACK’S HAD TO KISS HIS OLD ASS !!!!
Someone is bitter LMAO.
LMAO!!!! HAHA DAT SHIY FUNNYYY! THROWIN SHADES I SEE..
The Donald went with popularity and realized in the end it worked out for the better by having a true talent prevail.
RIHANNA SOUNDS LIKE A WET CAT AND NEDD DANCING LESSON FROM CIARA!
Trump is right, it was very disrespectful and of course Jennifer has a better voice. That’s no secret. Rihanna can not sing at all. She’ll learn.

CHCK IT OUT
OMG will you stupid -ss Rihanna stans go to her fansite! Where did all of you come from? It’s very sad that she has nothing but immature, ghetto, good for nothing, never will get anywhere in life people defending her and bashing everyone who’s calling her out. This just proves that Rihanna is very unprofessional, immature, stupid, mean, and ruthless! We all know she lied about loosing her voice. I just hate how you stans have all these excuses for your favorite artists. Weren’t y’all the same ones talking about how Rihanna was so professional, nice, caring, loving, smart, and classy when she was on the 20/20 interview, and using that girl with Leukemia to make it look like she was so caring and charitable? Rihanna is the same one who just recently attacked CERROR on twitter like a little teenager. I’m glad that Rihanna is showing her true colors. She’s nothing but a idiotic, uneducated, immature, ghetto, mean diva! She doesn’t care about nobody but herself and I can’t wait til her career is over.
BTW, he didn’t pick J-Hud first because Rihanna is more popular, due to her gimmicks!
he didnt pick Jhud first cause she is busy working, that was her day off – she worked on her day off cause no one else would have done so at such a short notice.. its not a good voice that sells. its slutty entertainment that peeps like to see. that why riri is making it… she is a lucky smart girl.. so all u singers that wants to be on top.. start slutting it..
I thank that we have all lost it and I will stick to what I say to be a good entertainer and get into folks home and stay there you must have talent. Entertainment has alway lasted in a when folks did not have money that kept theme
happy and wine beer and whatever else folks could doto escape
frome the real world. But now entertainment has gotten so cheap looking that no one wants to even pay for it .I thank we can do better than what is happen to these shows no class
kids can’t watch theme and one day some that do entertanment
will babys and they will see just how it is to posion the mind with the trash that has been release for money get all while yu can because this too shall pass.
