News: Rihanna 'racking up fines on 777 tour'

Rihanna is racking up hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines on her 777 tour due to late airport departures, according to reports.

The Diamonds hitmaker has been jetting around the world to perform seven concerts in seven cities in seven days.

Having performed five shows so far, most recently in Berlin, she has already been fined over $317,000, according to UK newspaper The Sun.

A source tells the publication several of Rihanna's flights have been delayed, resulting in steep penalties.

"Rihanna delays going on stage, which throws out the whole schedule," a source said. "It's a reaction to the fact that every second of her time is accounted for by organisers. She likes to be in control."

The singer was two-and-a-half hours late for her performance in Stockholm, leading to an apparent three-hour flight delay. Her flight to Toronto was reportedly four hours delayed.
