Marred by a myriad of delays, Rihanna‘s new album missed yet another lucrative release window this Christmas.
However, that didn’t halt the stunner from getting into the holiday spirit home in Barbados.
Armed with her ever-present handbag Melissa, the model shared a number of shots of herself soaking up the blazing heat.
Perhaps the break will offer some much needed inspiration for this elusive #R8 project of hers.

She should just be a Model cuz I’m sorry
Ri-Whine-A voice just doesn’t do it I’m SORRY!!
s**** b original tired joke was NEVER funny.
@kingRih leave the Queen out this post even though U and the whole world cant keep beyonce out your mouth when anything that has n e thing to do MUSIC is involved! I’ll always give Rih the lil props she deserves but no matter how u haters hate on Bey YALL KNOW RIH ” Will never be bey or on her level”
Old news no one is here care about your weak shade
Over 150+ million records sold says otherwise. But keep seething babe.
When hasn’t sold that many records worldwide. We put that to rest several posts ago.
This girl has STYLE no taking that from her! But hunni they done went back and forth to that DRAWING BOARD! The new music of today has welcomed good singing singers again lol Arianda and jesse’s are owning sh** besides the A-Listers and if u can’t make a record and show VOICE girl have a seat lol
B**** go suck a D*** and choke gtfoh with your advice why don’t u go be a stripper because your opinion sucks
I wish they would stop making up bs on this website. Rihanna never officially confirmed R8 for 2014 all she said was that a single was due soon. Every time she posts a photo TGJ posts “Rihanna pending album”. Without a confirmed release date it’s just a work in progress and she’s taking her time. Now chill the f*** out.
Are they upset ‘Pinkprint’ was pushed back with a huge campaign a few times and still only reached 194k and flipped everywhere else?
Yup they’re definitely pressed about Nicki’s sales but only because they’ve hyped her up to be the best thing since sliced bread. In today’s market, a black female selling in the range of 200k is success in itself. But because Nicki and blogs like TGJ perpetuate hype it’s disappointing because if nicki was half as good as people make out she should have doubled that at least.
THANK YOU!! They are doing the absolute most this winter, smh.
I dont mean to interupt this post but Honey all that matters in life right is the ‘kii’ of nicki not selln 200k after all and only 4500 ACROSS THE GLOBE! * steps down from soap box and twists of post…PROUD!’
2015 is gonna be Rihanna’s year!
Preach gurl
Not when the queen of sales Adele is set to release an album in 2015
Sam, have several seats. All this shade towards Rihanna is boring now. Blah blah blah
“Armed with her ever-present handbag Melissa” LMAOOOO
I screamed at this shade but overall im sick of the tired rihanna shade its getting older than that last beyonce number one… #6yearsago
SCREAMS!!!!
LMAO! You tried it!
Bwahaha!!!! LMAO
I’m not even a huge Rihanna fan but this shade is tired.
She has never announced the album or hinted a release date. So it’s not pushed back.
Yeh lets all hate on Rihanna for enjoying Christmas Day and New Year like the rest of the world! Kmt, not that it matters but that picture was posted by Melissa her best friend on Xmas day, Rihanna has worked solidly releasing albums year after year, tours year after, more than any there artist in music period, if she wanted to take a 5 year break for her sanity and well being then so what! She owes no one anything and she never promised her fans an album date AT ALL, when she arrives and takes over with another great album, truss me there will be no games!
This album has Samantha so scared and excited at the same time… He is more worried about this album than the navy I mean his favs catalog is so forgettable so he is thirsty for a riri ablum… #6yearsago
LMAO SSTTAAAHHHPPP!!!!!
Lmao at you thinking Rihanna’s catalog is memorable b**** people forgot about her biggest hit already
Kingbeybitch well said the haters are seething about the queen bey success they only supporting their no talente riri because the hate they have for bey not to well thank god you haters are not God
Just looked at this picture do you see how unbothered she is… she knows she is about to slay next year and so does every other non delusional person.. #riseasonisalmostuponus #thatrihannareign #6yearsago
Love how she’s building up the anticipation like Yonce did. Keep them guessing them drop an iconic slay. Here for it
.@taylorswift13 becomes the 1st act since @thebeatles with four consecutive studio albums that each logged six or more weeks at #1 in the US
Did she ever confirm R8 for 2015? Sam needs to stop. All this shade towards Rihanna and Mariah became redundant a long time ago.
That’s funny, I swear that is what people are saying about your girl Onika even though the album came out some weeks ago.
‘
Anyway Rihanna looks gorgeous, is enjoying her life, her millions and is living in a bitter free world even though she has a Perez wannabe homothug stalking her social media.
‘
Do you Riri, my piggy bank is ready whenever that album is ready.
She’s taking her time with this album and I salute her for that. This whole business of releasing an album year after year was getting kinda old IMO.
She better get that Blue Ivy trust fund! Yass I’m all for it!
Um always loughing my ass off everytime the navi get mad at Sam for saying that the album is delayed..wasnt the navi saying the same thing when Beyonce didnt release? they even gave her the name snippetyonce eventhough Bey didnt tell a release date…. remember you all said she was scares, so is Rihanna scared now she isnt releasing any music except those two snippets???
THE F****** IRONY
Umm babe you taking it too serious.
This site is so negative! It’s sad!
Yawn. We have seen it all before. Her with blunts and wearing next to nothing. Boring. While Rihanna is in Barbados with Melissa UGLY forde. Rita ORA IS BOO’D up on Tommy Hillfiger’s yacht in ST BARTS – WHICH IS THE JET SET ISLAND IN THE WEST INDIES.
WHILE RIHANNA’S DAD for drunk and sold her out to the media, Rita’s dad is her Business manager of her company, which includes Property and soccer club in Kosovo.
RITA WON! She won at life, career and love. Not to mention family.
Rita is a w**** only reason people know about her is when shes dating someone and your proud of that?
i know they think they servin body and look but all im getting is the hills got eyes
It corny that a grown man has throw disrespect toward a woman for hits on their website. Sam find something better to do than bring artists like Rihanna, Mariah, and Lil Kim down only to bring up artists like Beyoncé, Nicki, and Rita because every artists has peaks and valley moments. If you are going to call out one for their struggles make sure you do that for them all and really show that your blog is unbiased as you claim.
Samantha is beyond PRESSEDT lol stay mad
Thotmantha
wtf else. same sorta pointless @sam post. you don’t like her anyway. just waiting for it to bash it. and post how much better beyonce is. more flaming wars with all the blahrmies… huh? we know how that works. it’d not be that surprising. 🙂
But b**** hold on….wasnt the Navy saying the exact same thing about Beyonce before she dropped her surprise album last year?
Oh! so first you wanna hate, and now you wanna complain #GirlBye!
Home soundtrack in stores March 2015!
The navy are a bunch of hypocritical fools
Lool sam that Melissa shadeee thoooo! Anyways I’m not calling s*** for 2015 cause hurricane Adele is coming and y’all know when that b**** comes she slaughters without mercy
dont mistake us for the hive honey.
I for one didnt understand those tired shade about bey and the album being delayed, but i can tell you that the difference between R8 and BEY, is that while bey and her team teased the fans with the album, rihanna has just remained quite no real teasing.
Lol Beyonce never teased anyone so sit down. Plus Rihanna been replying to her fans about the album early up in the year so sit down and check Rihplies before you talk
I dont understand why TGJ throwin shade at Rihanna for waiting to release her album when they were the same ones who kept saying shes releasing albums too frequently. Let the rebel live.
Rihanna is the definition of an unphased/unbothered b****. I can’t wait for R8.
Model with a mic
HANDBAG!!!!! LMAO! Sam, you are sick and obsessed… Geeeeessshhhhhhh!
