Rihanna claimed she had a case bronchitis, but Trump was well aware of her scheduled performance at the NBA All-Star Game the next day and said, “For Rihanna to go to the All-Star Game and perform after she told us she was sick, that is just a lack of respect.” He immeditately called Jennifer Hudson who filled in on her day off. “She is an unbelievable talent, and her voice is better,” said Trump.
