Nick Grimshaw Bans Rihanna's Music After Radio Show Interview Cancellation

BBC Radio 1 host Nick Grimshaw has had a tantrum with Barbados-born beauty Rihanna, and won’t be playing any of her music (or even mention her name!) on air - because she cancelled an interview with him just hours before she was due to go on air.
Rihanna, who is promoting her brand new album ‘Unapologetic’, was due to appear on his show earlier this week, but for unknown reasons pulled out it at the last minute. Not taking the sudden cancellation well, Grimshaw told his listeners that they wouldn’t be playing any Rihanna until she completes her scheduled interview - as well as demoting her new album from Record of the Week.
Grimshaw said: “I'm gonna have a tantrum because it's my favourite popstar. We're not even mentioning her. We're not gonna promote it now.We were kinda forced into having Rihanna as our Record of the Week because we were going to do a big interview with her but once it was cancelled we changed it.”
He added finally: “She ruined my week. Nice one Rihanna.”
