We all know how close Rihanna was with her Gran Gran Dolly (real name, Clara Brathwaite), so of course the Bajan superstar wanted to send her off right when she passed in June of last year. Rih arranged for an extravagant funeral, complete with tents, multi-media large screens, huge exotic floral arrangements and the like…and of course, that all came with a price. The final amount came to around the $150k mark, but apparently Rihanna only paid about 25% of it and refused to pay more. Not sure why on her end, but the company that put it together is now suing for the rest of the balance. No word yet from Rih or her camp.
Rihanna Cancels Shows Following Grandmother’s Passing
Rihanna is mourning the loss of her Gran Gran Dolly, who lost her battle with cancer over the weekend. Rightfully so, she’s cancelled her appearances scheduled for this week, as she likely is heading back home to Barbados to be with her family and help with/attend the services. Prayers to you and your family, Ri! I know what a hard time this is! More details on the cancelled show below. Marisa Mendez
