Rihanna has reportedly been given a “written warning” by her record label.
Her mentor Jay-Z, who runs the Roc Nation label she is signed to, is said to be growing tired of her antics.
“Everyone can see Rihanna’s not behaving herself. Fans have paid hundreds of pounds for tickets and she’s regularly showing up hours late,” an insider told British Magazine Look. “Then she often gives lackluster performances where she even forgets her words at times. They issued a written warning which was emailed to Rihanna.”
A number of fans have lashed out at Rihanna on Twitter. She has been slammed for arriving over two hours late to shows and for giving lackluster vocals on stage.
Hip-hop mogul Jay-Z is apparently worried his protégé could be ruining her career.
“There’s no excuse because, because Jay knows exactly how talented Rihanna can be on stage,” the insider explained. “He takes work very seriously and this is not what he expects from his talent. She’d better start giving her fans what they paid for.”
On Sunday night Rihanna was more than 90 minutes late for her concert in Zurich, Switzerland after partying with her entourage until 4am the night before.
Making matters worse, when she did show up it wasn’t exactly worth the wait, with one fan writing on Zurich’s Radio 24 Facebook page”
“I’m of the opinion that she was not sober. She decided to party like a world star and then sang like a street busker. With full playback recording, she could have at least given some effort to the lip-synching. That was the first time I’ve ever left a concert before it ended. And for so much money. Unbelievable.”
