Rihanna is donating $5,000 to a suburban Chicago high school for showing up four hours late during an appearance at the school earlier this year.

Check out the full story after the break.

Recently, it was reported that Rihanna will be donating $5,000 to cover the costs of a visit to Barrington High School in March of this year.

Rihanna was in Chicago to visit the high school after the school won her “Shine Bright Like a Diamond” video contest. The students of Barrington High School had produced a five-minute movie that highlighted the school’s volunteer and community service programs. However, Rihanna was late showing up at the school and had fans and students waiting for her for four hours.

The $5,000 that Rihanna is donating to Barrington High School will be used to offset the expenses that the Barrington Unit District 220 used for security and signs for Rihanna’s visit. The student body will also receive some of these funds as well.

Check out the video from the Barrington High School students below:
