Mess! Rihanna Cancels Victoria’s Secret Performance…To Finish Album

Published: Tuesday 3rd Nov 2015 by Sam
Rihanna-2015-2016

Odd. Bad. And now just sad.

That’s the trajectory of Rihanna‘s eighth studio album, ‘ANTI.’

And it seems the mess is about to get a lot muckier.

Full story below…

In recent months, it’s seemed as though the model has been running at festivals, endorsements and TV spots to off-set the mounting mayhem surrounding the project (the first single for which arrived 11 months ago).

One of her most recent bookings was the  Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

However, PEOPLE reports that the 27-year old has dramatically pulled out of the event (which airs December 8th). The reason cited? To finish recording her album.

Singer Ellie Goulding has been drafted in to replace her.

**********

At this point, we’re beyond punchlines and puns. It’s more a case of chaos and catastrophe.

There really is no way of spinning the utter nonsense that has been this roll-out. Even if she’s to surprise release, cook up an app with Samsung, or whatever trick she has up her sleeve, the damage – from where we’re standing – really appears to be irreparable.

As if the stream of DOA singles didn’t drive that narrative home, the fact there was an actual album cover reveal…when there’s no completed album is just sloppy. So much so that there’s no “perfectionist” explanation that could ever suffice.

A shocking shambles.

    • You tried November 3, 2015

      In other words “RIHANA WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW HER ALBUM IS ON THE WAY..MY BROKE NAVI PLEASE SAVE UR COINS THIS TIME! ” baby bye lol this is a laughing stock! So she cancels business to do business lmao yea right THATS NOT HARD AT WORK THATS LAZY!

    • HailBeysus November 3, 2015

      OMG did y’all hear about Rihanna turning down a song written by Sia and Adele!!! It was originally written for Adele’s 25. I wonder who will take it and if it will be one of them huge hits.

  2. King Stephy November 3, 2015

    This finna get messy..

  3. #JACKIE November 3, 2015

    LMAO!!!! She’s so lost without Def Scam. Watch the Navy try to divert the attention to Ciara and Bey. Delusional b******.

  4. maria November 3, 2015

    rihanna full of s***. Adele has her and roc nation running scared. She might as well release in March/April 2016 because Adele ain’t letting up anytime soon.

  5. Keri Hilslay November 3, 2015

    How do you name an unfinished album. This era is really exposing how manufactured she is and it’s crazy. Albums are supposed to be an honest reflection of where an artist is in their life so why did she pick an album cover and name when the songs aren’t even done.

    • maurice November 3, 2015

      LMAO! Good point: album aint done, but she already got a name to it.
      That’s how you know it ain’t anything special or meaningful.

  6. Chi November 3, 2015

    She may as well release it and let it do what it do. If it flops, just say that she took chances and did what she wanted to do and it’s her best album like they all do, then start again.

    • maurice November 3, 2015

      Those are usually Ciara’s words. tehehe.
      “my best album yet”

  7. Taylor Tori Azalea November 3, 2015

    If BEYONCE 1989 25 WERE NOT RELEASED IN THE FOURTH QUARTER THE WOULD HAVE HAD THIS ALBUM EVEN HER NINTH ALBUM AGES AGO

    • Taylor Tori Azalea November 3, 2015

      *THE NAVY

  8. King Stephy November 3, 2015

    AnTEAways, before it gets crazy af on this post… I think Rihanna is about to release (whenever it gets done) one of her best albums of her career. I gotta feeling it’s gonna be worth the wait. My coins are still ready to purchase. I can’t wait to add this LP, to her already great catalog of Popular music. I like Rihanna, she’s unique & obviously beautiful. Good luck, Bajan Queen.

    • Surprise..(DEC 2013) November 3, 2015

      I don’t think so, it sounds like she has no direction at all..

    • Childd November 3, 2015

      Aren’t you under the same name on Twitter ? I wonder how you look behind these pics you hide behind

      • King Stephy November 3, 2015

        Yes, this is the Iconic STEPHY! Oh, and if you really wanna see me (which I highly doubt that’s gonna ever happen). You can DM me on Twitter & if I like you… We can exchange Facebook/Instagram info. K, bye.

  9. Keri Hilslay November 3, 2015

    Real artists don’t go through this trouble because real artists have themes they follow and know when they’ve expressed themselves completely. David made a comment once thats always stuck with me and that is that a classic album doesn’t have to be adult contemporary and its so true. Rihanna has no direction and it’s because she doesn’t take the time to reflect on Her life as it is and use it as a real basis for her work.

    • Childd November 3, 2015

      Rihanna like I said on this blog 2000 times is no different from Britney and Jlo who would only get songs from their record label. It’s only now Rihanna wants to express herself as some musical genius and is flopping.

  10. Kelvin November 3, 2015

    Even I agree that this era is messy. It’s just f***** up now

    But ciara fans shldnt even talk

    If she released the album now out of the blue, it’ll still sell more in 1 hour than Jackie did in its entire chart run

    • Queen Rih November 3, 2015

      Haha, you noticed its always Ciara fans under these articles about Rih. Like FourFiveSeconds didn’t outsell her last two singles combined ????

      • Faf November 3, 2015

        With how many ppl on it did it take?

  11. Slay_Hive November 3, 2015

    ???????????????????? I just saw that struggle cumm -filled throat nocal performance!!!! I haven’t screamed this hard since the day Chris gave her those black eyes!!???????? The Navy bottoms have been taking L’s ALL year!!!!!! Rihanna babi girl it’s over!! *u look so dumb riiigght nooow *in my goat nocals* Just take a Bow biitch!!

  12. .::Centurion::. November 3, 2015

    Take your time RiRi. Remember that Rihanna owns her masters of ownership and is on her own record label just like Janet. Roc Nation is a Distributer and Def Jam handles Marketing. BMG handles Janet. She’ll release on her time ’cause she’s her own boss unlike your favs who are slaves to their record labels. When those bigwig record execs want an album from your s**** favs, they will get it. Sorry.

    • .::Centurion::. November 3, 2015

      That ^^^^ includes Beydet too. Sony owns her. 😀

      • ARK November 3, 2015

        I was waiting for u to mention Beyonce. However, u can’t act like ur not disappointed that your girl isn’t performing at Victoria Secret…

      • .::Centurion::. November 3, 2015

        I am.

    • Faf November 3, 2015

      Owning masters is not a big accomplishment that’s like what someone of her caliber should do at this point

  13. MsYonce November 3, 2015

    Oh s*** this will get messy! Honestly if she can put of another Rated R type album I will buy it

  14. Slay_Hive November 3, 2015

    Death @ Loose Busssy exposing herself on the last rihanna post as Shakira Stan!!! The stress’s is eating away at her unstable mental health. B6 will finally lay this biitch to rest and I look forward to that day.????????

    • ????Queen Molly???? November 3, 2015

      Are you serious lmao the navy stay losing

  15. Slay_Hive November 3, 2015

    Centurion is the dumbest navi alive!! The Hive laughs at your struggles!! Retire tired hoeee! No one uses you????????????

  16. MsYonce November 3, 2015

    Y’all Centurion aka mollywalls aka Annashitwig (or whatever)is a f****** troll and a dumb one. He comes in the Rihanna post to @LB’s defense start talking about trolls and then I see all these troll accounts start popping up now hmm. Now y’all know my name was @Msyonce( pay attention) when you don’t have a avi you get a SPECIFIC cartoon thing or whatever they are. Now someone on comes in at msyonce( so stupid he couldn’t get the name right it was @Msyonce). Now after I see all this s*** I signed up for a gravator thing and got a pic and use my personal email. Now I changed the y in name to a capital Y as you can see. Now I made sure I choose a pic that no one could steal cause they don’t know where it came from. Now at soon as I changed my name from @Msyonce to @MsYonce all of a sudden there’s this troll account as @MsYonce. Notice it went from msyonce to MsYonce after I changed my name. But the faked MsYonce has the same pic as someone named Mollywalls who posted in the Ariana post. Hmm coincidence.. This all started when @Centurion showed up and stopped when he left

  17. gilbert November 3, 2015

    good, we don’t wanna see her anyways. why is she acting like people still listens to her music? both the navy and her knows that the album is gonna flop so why even try?

  18. MsYonce November 3, 2015

    Y’all I don’t think @LB was the troll someone f***** him up. @LB I’m sorry Lool but i still don’t like yo ass

  26. 2bad2bme November 3, 2015

    Folks complain she makes too many albums so often…When she takes her time she still receives complaints. BiPolar a** media

  27. Slay_Hive November 3, 2015

    I wonder what happened to Centurion’s mental state?!! She used to be kinda sweet & sane when she trolled as Pop Royalty…oops ????????????????

    • MsYonce November 3, 2015

      She/he/ it is mollywalls/annashitwigs Lool look at my post above. It tried to troll as me and failed. The dumb h** couldn’t use my pic cause it doesn’t know where it’s from.

    • RICHIE_RICH November 3, 2015

  28. .::Centurion::. November 3, 2015

    I give up on R8, but the good thing is I’m about to go see Madonna on the Rebel Tour at the O2 Arena n Prague wen I visit my Grandmother n a few days, so I’ll be O-K… wish I could say the same about AnTi

  33. UPGRADEBOY November 3, 2015

    When rih finally found a plan for the release of anti after a long confusion,Adèle showed up and ruined it again ????????

  34. Barb-wire November 3, 2015

    bit¢h bye!!! If you’re stupid enough to let Kuntye Kardashian handle your project then these will be the results. Girl doesn’t get tired being a puppet, being controlled to a point where she can’t even have a say on when she’s dropping her album. Mess!!!

  35. Molly’s Walls November 3, 2015

    @MsYonce
    Girl don’t even disrespect me like that I am not one of centurions troll accounts especially when I trolled him in the past

  36. KC November 3, 2015

    How did she “dramatically” pull out of the event. No one reported on any drama. You made that up.

    Also,”FourFiveSeconds” was a top 5 pop hit. “B**** Better Have My Money” was top 20. These aren’t flops.

    And trust me: I don’t give a damn about Rihanna. Not a fan. But it’s getting really boring to see you lame-ass, talent-free (please take some journalism classes) motherf*ckers continue your pointless vendetta against her. I get that you’re jealous she’s prettier than you, queens, but get over it.

  37. That LND Girl November 3, 2015

    After you lot dragged her to filth about her Back to Black cover, this is what the poor girl has had to resort to.
    On a serious note… I think she is either going to wait until the Adele hype has calmed down and release the album in March/ April… Or she is going to try and shock us all and release the album on the 6th as orginally planned. At this point though, I don’t think much people care about her music. I just want to see her looking pretty in pictures, and thats about it.

  38. Jenny November 3, 2015

    This era is a disaster but I think Anti will end up being an amazing body of work. At least it better be with all of these delays…

  39. No favs, just here for the music November 3, 2015

    I still wasn’t able to recover from that Amy Winehouse ‘cover’ LOL

    Rihanna why?? There’s only like a handful of people who can successfully slay that song.

    As far as ANTI goes it’s nice she’s taking time to work on it. It shows dedication and I respect that. I hope it’s not a lie though LOL and she is really working on it

  40. Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans November 3, 2015

    Let me not even say what I’m thinking before I come out of character and lose myself. Let me NOT today! I’ve had ENOUGH of this foolishness! If she wants to let Melissa run her life, then she can go ahead and play m***** bars with the unemployed clinging b****!

  41. RihYonce November 3, 2015

    Rihanna has to get it together and fast , with Adele, Beyoncé , Kanye & others releasing this Q4 I think she should just hold the album till march

    • RihYonce November 3, 2015

      Or just suck it up and drop it already like damn it’s been almost a year

  42. Mr. CEE November 3, 2015

    Literally L.M.A.O.!!!!!!

  43. King Mark111 /.\ November 3, 2015

    These f*** need to get a life and go outside. 3 Rihanna post and all written by Silly @ss Mess aka S A M.

    • Rihanna’s vibrato November 3, 2015

  44. @JanetCIARA_ November 3, 2015
