From Eurweb:

Rihanna was recently named in a racism lawsuit filed by tax lawyer and ex-Gucci employee, Josephine Robinson.

The attorney alleges that she was instructed to withhold 30 percent of the singer’s fee for her Gucci Tattoo Heard ad campaign.

“When [international tax counsel Stan] Sherwood discovered Rihanna was from a Caribbean island [Barbados], he told Robinson to ‘tax the hell out of her’ and find a way to allow Gucci to withhold 30 percent of her fee,” according to details of the lawsuit obtained by the New York Post.
