One year after unsuccessfully selling out shows in five major US cities, Rihanna is now rumored to be faced with the same daunting challenge. During her 2010 Last Girl on Earth tour, the 23 year-old had an issue with low ticket sales in Phoenix, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Dallas and Denver. As a result, those dates were canceled.
According to Page Six, the pop star is still unable to fill a venue for her upcoming Loud tour. Her manager, Jay Brown, has advised her to cancel her domestic shows:
“It has been a big disappointment,” our source said. “The ticket sales in big US cities like Boston are so bad, they will barely cover basics like the lighting and other arena costs. Tour managers are begging local radio stations to do giveaways.”
But in Twitter world, singer Ciara posted a little, sarcastic tweet:
When confronted by a Twitter follower, she responded (politely, of course):
We all know Ciara and Rihanna had their twitter drama in the past. What’s your take?
Nah, she didn’t!;)
Yea this that situation you just can’t justify, just call it life.
Ci Ci was throwing shade but I dont blame her, I woulda done the same thing. Rihanna’s singles and CDs are good but LIVE! HELL NO! I aint paying all that damn money to hear someone repeatedly say oh na na what my name off beat and out of key. no live performances please and thank you
Didn’t she say something smart about CiCi.
Well Well Well… Hello Karma.
WHAT KARMA?! RI-RI JUST LANDED THE COVER OF VOGUE. SHE’S NOW IN THE EXCLUSIVE CLUB OF THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF BLACK WOMEN TO GET ONE! UNTIL CI-CI GETS HERS, SHE CAN 1,2…STEP!!!!
and C-Error was Riccardo Tisci’s muse for Givenchy.
LIS it is karma because when rihanna and ciara had their litte battle on twitter a couple weeks ago rihanna was trying to diss ciara saying good luck with booking that stage u speak of. so it is karma coz not many people want to bug tickets for rihannas show!!
c0uldntve said it better
hmmmmm!!!!!!
POW! My thoughts exactly. Get em’ Ci (and I’m not even a Ciara fan)
lmao me neither since the goodies era but she got rih. karma is a muthafucka smh at nobody in dallas checkin for rih but white folks and they are only 30% of the population dwn here she cant sing anyway she sound like a damn hen!
uuummmm karma aint no Bitch here at least Rih’s album sales were unlike Ci’s who by the way her sales were so bad they had to DROP he ass from her label! Rihanna is an overseas artist thats where most of her fans are EUROPE! Ci is trying to stay relivant i see thats why she’s Romping off Kim and Lala’s big ass. kmt plz!
@Jelly, isn’t it saying something when people will buy your CDs and singles that have been altered to make you sound better but won’t come and watch you perform live?
And about her being an overseas artist, I don’t know about the rest of Europe, but I live in the UK and we are going through a recession and not many will pay their hard-earned money(that’s if they even have a job) to watch someone who can’t sing or dance, run around a stage.
#JustSaying.
@ London Babe, i dont know what part of London you live in or maybe you live underground but, Rihanna has sold out 9 dates at O2 arena for this coming tour.
you sound bitter. are you even from london. lol
If it is true that dates are to be cancelled, oh well. Rihanna belongs in the cities that appreciate her. that is coming from a true, male Rihanna fan. #rihannanavy
If this talk about Ciara reading Rihanna is false then whatever, and I’m hoping it is because she is in no place to be reading someone else when she is a free agent these days.
*sips sprite.
lmao! yes i’m sipping on one too
Well, Rihanna has been feeling herself lately, Talking greasy all on twitter, throwing her big country head back and belly laughing all on chealsy lately like it was all good. At least Ciara has allways carried herself in an old school star, dignified manner. She’s a true class act . She doesn’t do or say anything that can be used against her in the future no matter how bad she may want too. The proof in medicorety is never far behind. You can be as popular as you want, feel yourself, I mean hell it aint that hard to be famous nowadays, but if you can’t sang , people not gonna put their money down.
How is shaking your -ss, spreading your legs and coochie, and throwing shade like a 12 year old being a class act?
Haha!! I was about to say the same thing….twerking your hamhocks on mechanical bulls and doing backbends in lucite hightops with crotch shots that damn near show your cervix….SUPER CLASSY.
LMAO at “true class act”. you stans are insane
ROTFLMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
RIHANNA NAVY!! What do you have to say about this????
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Rihoeana cannot sell out anymore hahahahahahaha
WHERE IS QUEEN BEYONCE? Let her show these lames how it’s done
She was obviously throwing shade, why would anyone question that, her first comment was not positive. They both have about the same talent but Ciara can dance.
RIH MIGHT BE VOCALLY SUPERIOR BUT CIARA PERFORMS CIRCLES AROUND RIHANNA. GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT. AND IM NOT EVEN HERE FOR THESE TWO LESSORS.
Rhianna is NOT vocally Talented…
Rihanna have a fan base who buys her records. Ciara don’t. At the end of the day, it is a business.
@ sweet Thank you!!!
@EEK, u actually made me spit out my breakfast laughing at your comment “Rihanna might be vocally superior” I love a lot of Rihanna’s song, but the only thing Rihanna got that is superior to anyone is popularity! She can’t sing or perform to save her life, she should just stick to making videos and geting radio airplay cuz she is not the one to be on anybody’s stage and the wool has been pulled from the masses eyes, Rihanna is all hype, no substance!
And to show how much Rihanna is smelling herself lately, look at all the concert photos, they all look liek the one at the top as of late remember when this chick was STIFF AS HELL .now look, she still can’t dance but atleast she aint standing in one spot anymore.
Yall are messy lol! Ci is a better performer though by a long shot. Hell i’ll take Ci performing at a club than Rihana at an arena. Atleast I know i’ll get a show.
@ Shane this is so true! Rihanna is just WACK…. But why are they comparing her to Beyonce she is not even in her league by far, know Beyonce is talent!!!
girl, you ain’t never lied. I have seen her perform in a club and she did put on a show. Lip syncing and all!!
well well well… u dont say! HA!…. Everyone knows Rihanna’s hardcore fan base is not in the US. Until she can actually perform and Im talkin seriously “put on a show”, then she will continue to see this happen.
Has Ciara yet headlined a world arena tour? No. So she should work on trying to get Jive to keep her on the roster, before she talks slick.
Rihanna is trying to go for the gusto, she needs to stop trying to sell out big super bowl sized stadiums. It ain’t gon happen.
Ciara’s comment is just an “ah ha” moment for Rhiana, b/c Rhiana kicked off last time by talking about Ciara’s lack of success as of late.
I agree she should do a theater size venue for her tours. That she could fill. But I think she was going for the “gusto” anytime she walks on anyone’s stage and open that mouth and releases that voice!
Another thing, her Ticket prices are way to expensive. #TryAgain with those prices RocNation. lol
I agree Riyawna’s ticket prices are thre the roof! Who is going to spend over $100 to hear a goat sing live?? Rihanna needs to take a seat doesn’t she realize people are annoyed by her?
Farakhan said, she was “filthy” Donald Trump called her out saying, “JHud is a better singer” and Ciara said, she “isn’t the nicest person” DAMN!
I don’t think all those people are lying Riyawna needs to check herself she is also losing many fans. On twitter she told a fan to “go do your homework and stop reading blogs” when the person from twitter asked her about low ticket sales.
Rihanna is selling records and have singles topping Billboard. Her career is still success. She is not winning on every level but most.
LMAO @ who would pay to hear a goat sing live…lololol #flatlined
LOL @goat.
Hey Sweet the money is touring.
I SEE CONCRETE NOW LIKE TO LIGHT A FIRE AND JUST… RUN, LETTING PEOPLE FAN IT FOR THEM. I SEE WHAT YOURE DOING HERE… AND THERE…
Anyway, Ciara has more talent than Rih and this by far!!! I can pay to see Ci tearing the stage up. I would not go to see Rihanna aka Rihoenna, sorry. Now this Ciara aka C-Error, this bitch just doesnt have the ‘it’ beauty factor and made wrong career choices. Rihanna on the other hand is the luckiest girl in the business, she cut her hair, switched from dancehall to R&B to pop really quickly and that was the best decision made, because that girl is not among the best singers, not among the best dancers, not among the best performers and never ever will be. As far as Im concerned, she doesnt belong either to the greatest of all time, just look at her grammy performances, you just wonder if she is aware of how big it is and the chance she has, while people trynna do timeless performances, she gon do the same shit hoering around the stage with drake. But she is beautiful & made career decisions that helped her a lot, including hair, make up & style who did wonders for her career. I give her props though for smelliing a hit when its one. Lets be clear, Ciara is a better performer. She needs to get her shit together.
side-eye @ ciara
How embarrassing, @Rihanna good luck on booking that stage you speak of bwhahhahahahhahaah #karma
Rihanna has many stages around the world, AMERICA is not the only place in the world. where is Cici stage? she is from Ameri.ca. and she doesn’t have a stage here. Riri is not from the US
Lmao….i know right
Hoeanna is a DAMN FOOL for that comment and im glad karma raped her in the ass. F*cking b!tch
@June
When other artists dont do well in the US, you fans are the first to criticise them but because its rihanna, ” AMERICA is not the only place in the world”
B!TCH PLEASE
The only reason people from overseas go to see her is because she is not from there, and she is portrayed there as a sex symbol of dance music. They wanna see her live in her thong grabbing her crotch!!! Aint nobody there for this lazy hoe’s show, walking around with her limited voice & moves.
why don’t you go see Cici when she comes to your town? when is her tour? I must have missed the dates.
I live in Paris and would never spend over 100 to see rihanna on stage. Live she doesn’t sounds great, can’t dance, … Her looks are just weared. I prefer to see ciara on stage singing AND dancing.
Pay back a motherfucker talking greasy about Ciara like she holding it like that. She can’t sing or dance and needs to “Rotate
I guess Rihanna spoke too soon..
It’s more than karma. Rihanna has made great hits and no lie the LOUD cd is dope from the songs Ive heard. but at the end ofthe day everyone knows shes not the best live performer. especially vocally. but big up riri lol
Cl come on now…So now you are quoting things from page six “one of the most made rumor filled” magazines ever known. That’s terrible and even if her tour dates are getting cancelled in the US, the last person to release such information would be the manager. On top of that it seems like some of these posts are now making this a gossip blog site pulling up stupid tweets. SMH
if FUNNY HOW PPL BELIEVE THE LIE ,BUT IGNORE THE TRUTH. THIS STORY WAS PLANTED JUST LIKE THE ONE ABOUT RIHANNA WAS GOING BROKE. BUT BLACK BLOGS DON’T POST GOOD NEWS ONLY NEGATIVE NEWS. WHY DON’T YOU POST THAT SHE SOLD OUT THE 02 ARENA IN LONDON FOR 8 NIGHT 1ST FEMALE TO DO THAT.
I Toronto and Montreal she sold out for 2 nights straight at each venue don’t believe the hype
Just LOLed! Forget what you heard, mean girls finish last…
rihanna has never claimed to be the best artist. but she does have loads of rae determination. stay focus rihanna because we know that where theres a will theres a way. you can’t stoppeople fromhating you but you can stay on your grind and make your life dreams keep coming as long as you keep working
hard and keep believing in yourself. rihanna you have the will and the energy therefore never ever quit are give up on your dream nomatter what others might say about you and your many talents. they talked about christ.
They killed Christ!
WHO IS CIARA AGAIN?
I can not say that I don’t like some of Rihanna’s songs because that would be a lie but her performances seem lazy to me. I would be sleep in the concert. Somebody pour this chick some red bull or sumpin!
they both have no fans and lame i’m going to get chris cd tomorrow!!!!!
I see my vision coming to light, people are tired of the same people everyday! Time for real talent to come back!
Dear Rihanna, try throwing your rocks up instead of out, breaking your own window of ignorance. I live in Dallas and I coulda told you we dont want you here. Where is Beyonce? I need fresh air!
WHERE IS BEYONCE?
Samething I’m asking!
I wouldnt pay to see either one on stage. Ciara cant sing for beans, and Rihanna although only slightly better in the singing department, cant dance. The only advantage rihanna has is that she has hits, where ciara only has a couple or so that are major successes.
Neither girl possess enough presence in my opinion to make me want to pay for a show. And I think Rihanna’s team was being overly ambitious with all these high priced arena shows. Janet read the market best when she saw live acts are declining in revenue and decided to do a tour in smaller 2nd-tier venues. She sold out left and right! And if Janet (who performs circles around these girls) aint trying to do the arena thing, then these girls sure cant.
Besides, I’m no fan, but if Beyonce showed up, this whole beef thing would look like two rats fighting over crumbs from HER table.
Rihanna is waaaay too sexually suggestive. I mean over the top is an understatement. You cant even take teens to the tour. Tone that ish down Rih.. the public has spoken.
Now what in that text sound like she is throwing shade. That fellow twitter follower need to get some business and stop stalking people page to get stuff started. You know people do have a life beyond twitter so maybe its possible she is talking about something totally different. Dont get me wrong I like RiRi but that concession stand comment was out of order so if Ciara did say it about her then she can cause that just let you know that you need to be humble and not gloat about the fact you are doing good and someone else isnt. What comes up always come down. Its been said for almost a week now that Rihanna sales werent good over here, dont you think if she was that pressed (which I doubt) then why not say something before. Anyway people, thats the only crappy thing about twitter, stalking fans get updates on your thought, progress and moods. Words are always taken out of order and strangers think they know you by what they read. No honey it takes more than reading words to know someone and their intentions
If she was throwing salt she needs to sit down…I don’t know how you can throw shade at someone else when you are just as talentless…when is the last time she sold out a tour or had a number one album or record for that matter. #confused
LOL!
Ciara is a jealous heffer. O well Rhirhi will have to cancel 5 US cities, in thew meanwhile she still has 50 or more so worlwide venues left. The fans abroad allways show more love to the US artist (so whatever!!!) How many venues does Cici have???? Thought so…
That B… C is just jealous. She wanted to be al edgdy like Rhinna but that failed misserably for her. She should have kept it real with herself and just stuck with being de atl princess of punk
Ciara is acting really silly to me. I c why no BLACK celebs other than D-list celebs like Lala and Kelly ROwland befriend her. She is a stuck up wanna b white persona. No wonder Lloyd, 50 cent and bow wow at one point called her out on her fake personality.
Rihanna is topping charts and selling millions of albums internationally. A few cancelled shows doesn’t negate that. Ciara please Rihanna failures doesn’t make you successful.
I am so not a Rhianna fan but C-Error needs to shut the phuck up…cause again she aint built for the shit…
Freeze Frame. Ofcourse Ciara can throw shade. She is a fucking average citizen.
I thought I saw her delivering newspaper in my neighborhood. I geuss she figured fuck it, its a reccession, but I’m getting mine.
concreteloop stays with the exclusive! NICKI MINAJ SEX TAPE LEAKED!! http://www.loot6.com
I think they are both being petty and childish. I can’t stand twitter. If they’re really adults, they would voice their opinions to each other in person. For some reason, I think the only voices we would hear would be those of crickets. Neither one of them can sing, and should perhaps think of going into modeling, instead.
C-Error TRIED IT! when she can’t even sell out a FREE General Admission concert in a Walmart parking lot. &&& didn’t she just get dropped from her label?
Maybeher tweet has nothing to do with Rihanna…
Why aren’t many people calling CERROR childish? I’m reading “She’s a class act.” WTF? How can she be a class act by doing some kiddy ish like this?
Both Rihalien and CERROR are untalented, ugly, nasty, and pathetic. They can’t sing to save their lives. CERROR can “dance” better than Rihalien, but CERROR is a boring dancer. All she does is shake her flat, funky behind, and spread her legs and crotch like a ghetto stripper.
This is so stupid and uncalled for. It’s not like these two are making mistakes, they know what they’re doing and it’s so stupid. CERROR is damn near 25 years old and Rialien 23. With that said, Rialien deserves all the shade in the world. This is karma for her being a –tch all these years. Her stans like to lie to everyone and try to convince us that she’s so cool and friendly when she’s not. It’s about time she gets her karma from throwing Chris under the bus. Now she can see how it feels to have some viciously throw shade at you to the public and call you out for your cruelness! Since she wanted to play the victim and tell how bad Chris was to her, CERROR has every right to be the “victim” and talk about how mean Rialien was to her! Awww…. Poor CERROR lol.
BTW, I’m glad that she isn’t selling out shows! Now I can’t wait until her next album flops and then she’s finally out of here!
I DON’T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH WHAT CIARA SAID ON TWITTER! TWITTER IS MEANT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT SOME MORE ATTENTION. CIARA KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WOULD SEE.
http://WWW.NTICEMUSIC.COM | QC MUSIC SERIES TONIGHT (CHARLOTTE, NC)
I’ll say this vocally I don’t care for either or… BUT if I was forced to see one of these two live?? It would def be Ciara… She’d probably be lip-syncing (which is fine) cuz i’d rather hear that, then her trying to sing. And she’d put on one hell of a show that’s for sure. #Thatisall
Think it’s funny Good Luck Booking that so called Stage Ri Ri.. Ur a pop star that can’t sell out shows, don’t sound like a star to me.. Moving on
Ciara doesn’t have room to talk because she has yet to headline her own tour. She’s still an opening act. Granted, I would definitely pay to see Ciara over Rihanna any day because she will entertain you with her dancing. With Rihanna, you get nothing.
Yeah that’s true but at least she’s not setting herself up…and i think she understands her current limitations.
KARMA IT IS, CIARA HAS SOLD 9 MILLION ALBUMS SO SHE HAS DONE HER THANG AND WILL DANCE CIRCLES AROUND RIHANA, I WOULD GO PAY FOR CIARA CONCERT AND DAY OF THIS TRICK!
AND WHEN YOU FIND THOSE 9 MILLION ALBUMS…CALL ME!
reading and i must say reading about what people has to say about rihanna is always “very entertaining” about the tour. if the whole tour was cancelled rihanna would still be sitting pretty according to
“celebrity net worth” rihanna net worth is 60 million
she could retire now and do her nivea,gucci, optus,
kodack,groupon, and pick up a few more endorsements then expan her perfume line , do a few more movies takes some kick booty classes and she will still come out on top. and saying she can’t sing is like saying that a pig is not pork, folks.
and nivea and renault are sponsering her tour any ways therefore if she doesn’t serll to the mean spirited american some of then not all of them she can do all of her touring out of the country
theres many countries and contient who still love rihanna and will support her and we shall all see how this will play out together knowing the haters are having a ball kicking rihanna but theres some words that says “he will make the bottom the top” and theres where it is stated that he has the power to take from the rich and give to the poor. so keep laughting at others down falls and see what can happen to rihanna and her career.
It is already working’ Pay attention to her career, from she started till now. God is with her, and will continue all the
way. AMEN. THESE HATERS NEED TO GO SIT THEIR ASS IN A CHURCH
AND LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE BIBLE>
I’m not surprised…saw her perform at the Glow in the Dark concert and her performance was definitely forgettable. I would not pay a single dime to see her headlining tours, because she’s that bad.
Ciara’s response: That was very…very clever. What’s wrong with a little competition? Also it couldv’e been read in many different ways.
peope are often judgemental, rihanna has been talked about since she out lasted her 15 minutes and i’d gladly say this if shes not your drink then pour her out and pour up you a fresh cup of tea than pour yourself another cup. what rihanna does is for those of us wholoves her therefore we will support her regardless of what the doubters and naysayers say. i will tell you this don’t write rihanna off. she was in a group i can only remember gagaa and b and rihanna won the most
popular in places like egypt, morocco, labanon,jordan,
uac and more what ever it was rihanna won it.i said that to say this rihanna is already a winner
and @ THOSE WHO HATES ON THE TALENTED BEAUTY, PLEASE STAY TUNED AND GET THE LATEST BREAKING NEWS ON RIHANNA IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS AND SEE WHAT A DIFFERENT TIME CAN MAKE.
AMEN!
@ lisa, ciara has not out sold rihanna and ciara has been in the industry longer hunty. rihas sold
7 million singles of only girl in less than 4 months ,just saying. and to all , the all time charts can be your best friend and will tell you exactly who has sold what and the correct numbers. and ciara is a great artist and i am not about
to pit c aganistri never it makes no sense. but while you have your negative comments about rihanna then do yourself a favor and checkout what she has in her catalog and that fat healthy resume’
of hers and how shes moving enen closer to heading her own business putting all of her affairs under one umbrella,huntys.
@BACKSPACE THEN HOW COME RIHANNA CAN’T SELL TICKETS, IT’S BECAUSE SHE CAN’T DANCE OR SING AND ONLY DO GOOD IN THE STUDIO HIDING WHAT KIND OF MESS IS THAT, A REAL ENTERTAINER DON’T HAVE TO HIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT AND THAT’S WHY I SAY I WOULD PAY FOR CIARA ANY DAY OVER THAT TRICK!
Karma for real!
When is your Karma coming?
Everyone knows tthat the big bucks comes in from outside America anyway, and she’s SOLD OUT in Europe. She’s doing TEN shows at the o2 arena in London, that’s 20,000 fans per night. Shee’s making that money people.
ya’ll are stupi… ciara>>>>>>rihanna in everyway
rihanna hasn’t like ciara since she stage-fucke* chris brown on the EBT awars!!! just bc that ho is in the illuminati & gay-z payin everyone to give her spins – let’s face it ciara has more longevity than rihanna! she’s booking gigs like being fashion muses rihanna inking up her physique pointlessely & faking being a lesbo! meanwhile ciara getting $$$ off music she writes HERSELF – rihanna cant sing perform or write her own shit she’s a gimmick!
PS why you think rihanna releasing 5 albums in 5 yrs??? she upset her time is t-t-ticking…
well look at concert prices these days do you want an hour of fun at a show or some gas in the car??? lol
Ciara’s fails on so many more levels than Rihanna not selling out an arena. I doubt that this is true. What manager would say this….Concreteloop please dont turn into MTO……this rumour sounds a little fishy.
