Rihanna told to cover up for Abu Dhabi gig

Mirror.co.uk: When it comes to provocative stage routines, theres none raunchier than Rihanna’s. Except for this New Years Eve when the pop beauty could be performing in a sensible woollen sweater and a comfortable pair of jeans. The star has been swanning about in next to nothing in Barbados all Christmas and is due to perform in sweltering Abu Dhabi on New Years Eve.

But we can reveal she has been told to dress conservatively for her gig at the Emirates Palace. And, as she’s said to be making $500,000 for her performance, she’s likely to do exactly what shes told. Which means the white slashed latex body suit she wore at the American Music Awards not to mention her collection ofÂ eye-popping bras will be mothballed. Her team are now said to be working frantically on new outfits which are respectful of local traditions. A source tells us:

Rihanna is tearing her hair out over what to do she wanted to put on her most eccentric and provocative show yet. She knows that shell have to compromise her style to fit in with local traditions but a huge part of her show is her sexy stage gear.

Though I normally donâ€™t agree with restricting artistsâ€™ creativity I think in this kind of situation artists should respect other peopleâ€™s tradition and beliefs.

The Mirror really isn't a reliable source but female artists do have to cover up when they perform in certain countries.

BS as usual.

They knew this going in I am sure, even i know that she would have to do this.

They knew it when she was going to perform in Malaysia and they did it wen she perform im Monaco so why the ish now.

live ‘n learn

This is nothing new. Rih and other female performers have been told to cover up when performing in traditional muslim countries before. Rih has had other gigs booked in places with the same customs, so she and her people should already know the deal I hope she pays attention and respects their customs. I would HATE to hear of her being detained or arrested for breaking the law (dressing immodestly).

im muslim, she can wear whatever she wants as long as its not provocative thats it
