Reports indicate tickets sales
for Rihanna's upcoming tour in support of her flopped, heavily
slammed album "Anti" are flopping as well. The album "Anti" is
currently mired in controversy over electronics company Samsung
buying 1,000,000 copies for a dollar each and the RIAA
certifying the album platinum, which the public is calling fake
and cheating.
Billboard slammed Rihanna's
Samsung stunt and refused to count the copies towards album
sales
Now comes word that Rihanna's
planned tour that Samsung paid to have booked in arenas around
the world, underwriting the costs in anticipation of good
publicity and getting their investment back, is flopping in a
big way, prompting Jay Z's Roc Nation to give away free tickets.
Samsung is already angry over the negative publicity they are
getting on social networking for buying 1,000,000 copies of
"Anti." With tour ticket sales in the toilet, they are not going
to see return on their investment and are already saddled with
bad publicity.
Many people on social
networking are mocking Rihanna and Samsung over the sales stunt
Major label artists with
Rihanna's type ego, do not like performing to half empty arenas.
They are very proud and can't handle it. This is what Rihanna is
facing. To save face, Jay Z's company will be giving away loads
of tickets in online contests and to radio stations to fill the
empty seats.
