Rihanna has canceled a concert later this month in Dubai because the timing was "inappropriate," a Middle East concert promoter said Tuesday.
Yassin Matbouly, managing director of Vibe Entertainment Management Agency, said the Dubai-based promoter got "nothing in writing" from Rihanna's agents but was made to understand from managers negotiating the May 28 gig in the Gulf sheikdom that it won't work out.
He said May 28 was Vibe's preferred date to host Rihanna in Dubai, but in a month and a half of negotiations with Rihanna, her managers never fully committed to it.
"We put an offer across with a large amount of money, and it unfortunately did not happen," Matbouly said. "We heard it was inappropriate timing for her to have a public concert."
He added the company remains interested in hosting Rihanna in the region and will try to reschedule the concert.
