Rihanna’s fans are once again left wondering if they will ever get new music from the singer. Recently, the “Diamonds” hitmaker was spotted in New York City wearing a graphic t-shirt that read, “I’m retired. This is as dressed up as I get.” This bold fashion statement has sparked mixed reactions among her devoted followers who have been eagerly anticipating her ninth studio album since the release of “Anti” in 2016.
Rihanna’s fans took to social media to express their thoughts on her apparent retirement from music. Some fans expressed disappointment and frustration, with one user tweeting, “Rihanna literally said f**k yall, I’m retired 😇 never getting an album from a retired queen.” Another fan pleaded, “Not Rihanna being spotted wearing an ‘I’m retired’ shirt.. GIRL IF YOU DON’T GET IN THE BOOTH!!” The uncertainty of Rihanna’s musical future has left fans questioning if they will ever hear new music from their favorite artist.
Despite Rihanna’s t-shirt statement, the Grammy-winning artist has confirmed that she is working on a new album. In an interview with Extra in April, Rihanna expressed her excitement about the upcoming project, stating, “It’s gonna be amazing. It has to be – that is the only reason it’s not out yet. There should be a show of growth, right?” She further added, “I want to play, and I feel like music is a playground, and I want to have fun with it and show truly where I am at.” However, a concrete release date for the album is still up in the air, leaving fans in limbo.
Rihanna has been teasing her fans about new music since 2019 when she first claimed to be done with “R9.” She playfully posted on Instagram, “Update: me listening to R9 by myself and refusing to release it,” creating a sense of anticipation and intrigue among her fan base. While she continues to keep fans guessing about the release of her new music, Rihanna has also been focusing on other ventures such as motherhood and expanding her Fenty Beauty brand to include hair care products.
Rihanna’s fans remain hopeful yet skeptical about the release of new music from the iconic singer. While Rihanna has confirmed that she is working on a new album, the lack of a definitive release date has left fans in a state of uncertainty. Despite her playful teasing and bold fashion statements, only time will tell if Rihanna will deliver on her promise of new music for her devoted followers.
