Rihanna’s 777 Tour is becoming a nightmare as journalists are lashing out on the lack of sleep and food, Rihanna is staying out late causing flights to be delayed, and expenses are rising as fines are being racked up worldwide.
The singer’s seven day, seven country, seven concert tour has already incurred fines of over $318,000 and is only expected to grow.
“The tour will end up costing her a fortune,” a source told UK publication The Sun after Rihanna was late, once again, for her Paris concert. “Every hour that goes by she has to pay for flight clearance on runways and also incurs costs of the private airport teams, customs, baggage handlers and security.”
Rolling Stone reporter Jeff Rosenthall wrote of the tour, “We haven’t seen Rihanna offstage since the first day, unless you count her popping up at baggage claim for a few moments on the morning of the second.”
Instead of being on time for her flight, Rihanna is in Paris partying with P. Diddy, Cassie, Akon and Pharrell Williams after her show, causing her flights to be delayed. “[Rihanna] had after-parties in Stockholm and Paris, both times showing up mere hours before wake-up call… The hotels are beautiful, but we’re only sleeping two or three hours in them – four, tops,” Rolling Stone reporter Jess Rosenthall wrote.
While journalists and fans wait for hours on the tarmac, things are getting “rowdy as hell.” The tour is turning into pure “anarchy” and “chaos” one U.K. reporter described after an Australian journalist streaked the plane as the crowd chanted, “I need a headline” and “Just one quote!”
Not to worry, the tour is soon over. Rihanna performs tonight in London before “hopping the pond” over to New York City for the 777 Tour’s last leg and to celebrate the release of the singer’s seventh studio album Unapologetic.
“We were looking for a story but we turned out to be the story,” on Fuse News reporter wrote. I guess Rihanna truly is Unapologetic.
