Rihanna’s Diamonds world tour gets closer
If you believe everything you read, you would probably think that Rihanna’s career is about to fall to bits around her feet after her 777 tour was branded a total flop. The truth however is not singing the same tune as 38 million hits in two weeks proves the Bajan pop princess is very much in demand.
There is no getting away from it, the 777 tour was a flop as it failed to do what it was intended to do. Most of the journalists gave negative feedback, the limited 777 packs have already hit ebay and the papers who normally love Rihanna, know to her fans as RiRi, have been reporting that the ‘stunt’ was a £3million pound disaster. With that said, many artists including the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson have all tried to do a ‘radical’ promotional stunt which in the end has backfired. The good thing in this case is that the Rihanna machine is made of stronger stuff.
