Rihanna no show at Grammys due to some sort of altercation involving boyfriend Brown
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 9 February 2009
There was much media speculation last night after it was announced Rihanna was pulling out of her Grammy appearance at the last minute, mainly because it came at the same time as reports her boyfriend, Chris Brown, would also not be attending the big awards show because he was being questioned by police over allegations he assaulted a woman.
Information is somewhat vague, but a police statement reportedly confirmed Grammy nominated Brown had been accused of hitting an unidentified woman during a fight in the Hancock Park neighbourhood of LA.
There was some speculation, given Rihanna’s no-show at the Grammys, that it may have been Rihanna who Brown was accused of hitting, though it may be that the singer was simply too distressed to perform because of the allegations against her other half.
Grammy organisers confirmed both artists would not be present at the awards show, but gave no reason for their absence.
