Rihanna faces Twitter rage over leukaemia 'publicity stunt'

It comes after the Barbadian singer took time out to help find a bone marrow donor for Jasmina Anema, who lost her battle with the disease in January.

Rihanna’s charity was soon thrown back in her face, though.

A message posted on Twitter page OneForJasmina, which has now been removed, reportedly read: ‘It has been a month since Jasmina’s passing. Still not even a card or text message from Rihanna. Did she use my child for a publicity stunt?’

The post was quickly replaced by a new message that read: ‘Apparently, there are some negative blogs out there. For the record, Rihanna has been nothing but really nice!’

Jasmina’s mother, Thea Anema, later said: ‘Although I did not Tweet this particular one, I wish Rihanna had responded to me on Jasmina’s passing. She was so kind to visit Jasmina – I just felt hurt not hearing anything.’
