Currently thrilling fans all over the world with hits found aboard her ‘Anti’ tour, Colombian music fans keen to pop and pat to the jams of p-patting performer Rihanna were dealt a crushing blow when recent reports indicated the singer would not be making a pit stop in the South American country.

Set as the headliner of the forthcoming ‘Lollapalooza’ fest there, Rih reportedly pulled out of the September-set gig due to fears of Zika virus.  However, the cancellation not only affected her fans, but fans of all the other acts as well.

Tuck in below to find out why Lana Del Rey lovers in the area aren’t exactly pleased with the Bajan beauty’s move:

Set for September 17-18, Rihanna’s exit as headliner put the entire show at jeopardy given the short time to replace her. As a result, organizers cancelled the entire gig – a move that impacts fans of Lana Del Rey, The Chainsmokers, and every other act listed on the bill.

  1. ???????Chile, take this “Itty Bitty Piggy” to the market and make sure you hold her hand while crossing the street!??????? July 3, 2016

    The other acts will be pissed, but whatever! Her safety and well-being is far more important. She wont be losing any sleep anyway, since she’s already on her European stadium leg.

    Thanking the higher heavens for saving us from those horrible vocals!

        Rihanna has proven time and time again that she can sing. She always shows up especially at large music awards ie Grammys, Billboard. The h_i_v is just bitter that she sings live.

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy July 3, 2016

        @Keri The HIVe are MAD! They are so mad that they’re fave released a damn movie and lil ol Rihanna’s music is more relevant. They’re mad, because the world is finally starting to see that Rih is indeed a powerhouse of her own and Yonce can’t stop her!

      • Keri Qween July 3, 2016

        @ispeak The ANTI era rihanna went for the serious more acclaimed route and SHE DID THAT. they’re mad that Lemonade was overrated garbage with their fave cursing like a ghetto sailor in every song and using her marriage for publicity. Rihanna just let the music talk and I’m proud of her and this era!

    • Nahh July 3, 2016

      I wish the hive would relax cause bey probably won’t be going to Brazil either due to this v****

    • THE WORLD LOVES SLAYANNA!!! July 3, 2016

      That lemonade must be sour like every single from that wack album. Aww poor dat, bey can’t even see top spot on any chart. I keep telling y’all bottom lickers that RIHANNA Fenty is a legend see her stats!

    Lol you can’t be serious? When has an entire festival ever been canceled because the headliner pulled out? That makes no sense at all lmao. They probably canceled the event due to the v****. But to say there is correlation between Rihanna pulling out and the show being canceled is misleading and bad journalism smh

    • Mark111 /.\ July 3, 2016

      I was wondering bc they have 90 days to replace. But these things are planned months ahead, so it will be hard to find someone bc most artist are booked up a year ahead. But I know Gags is doing nothing, so they can call her. lol

      • iSpeakTruthNoFallacy July 3, 2016

        HAHAHAHA Not Gags tho! You know she ain’t doin shat!

      • Selenator *Kills Them With Kindness* July 3, 2016

        Lol exactly. Gaga or Katy Perry. Hell, Mildred is the watered down white Rihanna, they could’ve booked her. I’m sure they could’ve scrambled to put something together rather than cancel and lose millions

      • What Now July 3, 2016

        KIIII @Mark

    • Keri Qween July 3, 2016

      Yeah I thought that sounded weird too. Cancel the WHOLE festival? They’re crazy

    • wrosy3 July 3, 2016

      People always wants to blame rih for everything and why should she jeopardize her health for those people

    • King z July 3, 2016

      Have you frequented this site enough? If so, you know we don’t come here for good journalism.

      Visit cnn for that sis

      The last thing the tmz and m** and TSr and tgj of the world care about is “good journalism”

  5. Mark111 /.\ July 3, 2016

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) July 3, 2016

      BETTER VIES OF COLDPLAY AND MADONNA SOLD OUT SHOW COMPARED WITH BEY……https://twitter.com/GagaLovesBey. Even bey’s show looked fuller compared to madonna’s show. It is the way the stage is set up at that particular stadium, in sunderland it was different story and it even led to overcrowding with people passing out

      • Trying to start a Stan war July 3, 2016

    Rihanna’s wembley too because people kept coming before the end of the show. Pics that went viral was before her show/ very beginning

    • King Mark111 July 3, 2016

      We know they were both sold out. The Navi are just giving the Pest a taste of their own medicine. They can dish it out, but can’t take it. Lol

    • HailLegendBeysus July 3, 2016

      If Cheatannas Wembley was sold out or at least above 70k in attendance than why aint the bish on this list!?!?

  12. King B July 3, 2016

    But Keri Flopson can’t even book a show. The Singer-SONGWRITER Sia is going on a tour and scored another hit, without dissing others in her songs. Every big names is asking her to write a song for them. And her album is still charting in UK and US.

    Good for Riri
