Multiple reports have claimed that bad girl Rihanna pulled out of her much anticipated Grammys performance due to bronchitis. According to Page Six, an exclusive source is singing a different tune. An inside source claims that Ri pulled out last minute out of fear of giving a bad performance. The source claims she rehearsed twice, but all of a sudden backed out after seeing Kendrick Lamar’s performance. One of their sources said,

“She felt like her performance couldn’t compare (to some of the other artists), and she was trying to avoid the embarrassment because she knew it wasn’t the right comeback performance.”

Another source said her performance would have certainly been “underwhelming”. Well after seeing Kendrick Lamar’s performance, RiRi twerking and slow whining with limited vocal range just wasn’t gonna cut it. We still love you Ri! What do you think of Rihanna cancelling her performance?
