Rihanna rushed to hospital after partying at the Met Gala in New York

Rihanna was reportedly rushed to hospital with dehydration after partying at the Met Gala in New York on Monday night.

Rihanna, 24, tweeted a picture of herself attached to an IV drip in a hospital.

The singer was suffering from “exhaustion and dehydration”, according to MediaTakeOut.

However, after a brief stay in the undisclosed medical center, Rihanna was discharged and allowed to fly back to her home in Los Angeles, arriving in California earlier this morning.

It comes just days after she pulled out of a Saturday Night Live rehearsal due to her tiredness.

Rihanna has certainly been burning the candle at both ends in recent months and the new issue of America’s Star magazine claims she is “spiraling out of control”.

“Rihanna loves to party but this past month she’s gotten really out of control,” an insider tells the publication.

“She’s been drinking almost everyday and talking about smoking weed a lot too.”

Rihanna’s wild nights out have included a late visit to a strip club in Queens, New York, on May 2 where she was seen throwing money at female performers.

“Everyone is telling her to slow down and think about therapy, or even rehab,” the source continues.

But Rihanna has always been proud of her Good Girl Gone Bad reputation.

She has said: “I’m crazy and I don’t pretend to be anything else.”
