Rihanna had a hot time in London yesterday (June 27, 2012)… so much so, that her hotel had to be evacuated!!

Details below…

According to MTV, RihRih had to evacuate her hotel in London yesterday after a fire broke out in one of the elevator shafts.

The Barbadian-born singer was rushed out of the Corinthia Hotel in Whitehall around 6 a.m. Thankfully, the fire was only minor, but around 300 hotel guests were evacuated from five-star digs, reports Metro.

It didn?t take long for Ri Ri to take refuge in a cab and tweet pictures of the incident onto Instagram.

A spokesman for the hotel revealed details of the the fire, stating:

The fire started at approximately 6.30am, one of the service elevator motors burnt out.

There was a slight discharge of smoke and because of our robust fire management policy, the alarms were activated and a full evacuation of the building was carried out.

As a matter of procedure, the fire brigade were called to carry out full safety checks throughout the building. All guests were safely accounted for and allowed back into the hotel soon after 7 a.m.

Rihanna and her crew all go out safe and sound and there are no reports of injuries.

The big question is…

Did RihRih sneak her a quick puff of ganja in the wee hours of the morning?

Hmmmm….
