Rihanna in dispute over funeral bill
Music superstar Rihanna is reportedly refusing to pay a $150 000 bill for her grandmother’s funeral, according to online celebrity gossip sites.
The Diamonds singer is apparently being sued by a company which organized the funeral of her grandmother, Clara ‘Dolly’ Braithwaite, who was buried in Barbados last July.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit said Rihanna claimed the bill was exorbitant and only paid a quarter of it after allegedly sparing no expense on the proceedings, which included massive floral arrangements and large mutli-media screens.
Downes & Wilson Funeral Home did the arrangements for Brathwaite, but the company’s owner James Wilson declined to comment on the lawsuit.
