Self-appointed perfectionist Rihanna is still working on her eighth studio album.
The delays that have railroaded the project have been well-documented, yet the Roc Nation starlet is attempting to keep buzz alive by sharing studio snaps and snippets with fans.
Taking to Instagram moments ago, the 27-year-old posted a pic of herself in the lab with rapper/producer Travis Scott. The post was tagged “#R8.”
Little is known about what the pair were cooking up, but for her sake it needs to be hotter and boast more seasoning that all we’ve heard thus far. Because, when touting phrases such as “timeless,” the likes of ‘FourFiveSeconds’ simply won’t do.

Still amazing that this woman RIHANNA puts on lazy performances, sounds totally off key live and is nasty to fans who try to talk, hug or touch her. Honey, you have zero talent other than being a model, you use great producers who actually have talent and you hide behind great production. You soundtrack has flopped, your current single has flopped, the public (being as slow as it is) is slowly realizing that you have ZERO talent — other than being a model. ……now playing Fly like a bird by Mariah, Heaven Sent by Keyshia cole, Dangerously in Love by Beyonce and Because you love me by Celine.
Girl….4-5 seconds and your career of fakeness will be over. Now lets patiently wait for your useless, immature, brain-dead pop-head navy to attack.
Death, where’s my wig. Not you snatching me bald like this. You better read.
I see no lies.
Go the f#ck in!
But your fave has been caught several times lip synching, she’s an overrated performer
Didn’t your fave get dragged during Grammy season for having multiple producers and songwriters for the porno album when you delusional h/I/vs claimed she deserved aoty over beck who writes and produces ALL his music? Kiii.
Fourfive is already over a million copies that’s at a faster rate than partition and ratchet/11 and don’t forget flawless, xo, pretty hurts flopping pretty hurts didn’t even chart? Kii
I see why y’all pressed. The porno album is stalled and didn’t even reach 4 million
Hold it right there f**. You failed to mention Beyoncé sang LIVE at a press conference she held after the inauguration. Beyoncé was the favourite to win AOTY, AND her was deserving to win AOTY like all the other nominees sans GIRL. I know you critiquing Bey for the same thing Rihanna does. At least in Beyoncé’s case, she knows how to sing and dance. What about Rihanna??? And don’t you f****** DARE bring Keri, when the so called “amazing” music she writes can’t get the GPs attention(which is why no one is checking for her). 45 seconds is platinum with streams, don’t f****** forget that. Same streams that kept it at no5 on the charts. Self drag at you coming for non promoted singles when 45 seconds featured Kanye and a f****** Beatle. And still couldn’t outchart DIL. Even with countless twitter links and payola. Weren’t you dragging the hive back when they had self titled at 3.4 million, now according to you, it’s stuck at 4 million. Get your priorities “straight” f**, pun intended.
And *her album.
I know you *ain’t critiquing
Girl shut up @ flop Queen. Beyonce would destroy Riri if they ever shared a stage, also Beyonce the album has “Sold” not shipped like RirI’s last 2 albums over 5 Million worldwide. You delusional ass c***!
Not forgetting 45S had a Grammy performance like DIL, yet it can’t outchart it. B*******.com if you ask me.
So what she still lip synchs so y’all stop acting like shes some performing god and her routines are TIRED we’ve seen them a million times
And like I said the original poster was trying to drag rih for having many producers when Beyonce has just as many so what’s the drag?
Keri is a better overall musician from Beyonce and you all will deal
Fourfive had a radio deal for one day death at y’all clinging to it constantly and for the last time fourfive has sold 1.2 million in the us
I said the self titled pornography album hasn’t reached 4 million yet last I checked it was at 3.5 million
Those “tired” routines butcher Keri & Rihanna on stage. Both use many producer’s,but what does Rihanna offer other than that???? “Keri is a better overall musician than Beyoncé and you all will deal” pity the charts and the GP disagree. Kii at you flip flopping from Keri to Rihanna, Beyoncé slays both of them. And for the last time provide receipts of 45S being platinum.
lololol semęn hilson’s one fan is always trying it
Dayummmmm go INNN!
Alright Miss RIH waiting for Her anamation movie to come out to PIGGYBACK off lol that’s A NEW TRICK THO lol none of the other girls done before lmao
Just like bet piggy backed off of dil, Nicky piggy backed off of bang bang, and Ciara piggy backed off of……. Idk. Please stop. Rihanna has plenty of endeavors that are going well for her. Not just her album. It hurts too see her collecting these coins and awards.
Why you so mad? The queen has you writing novels lls. The shade is tired. Rihanna 10; you 0.
Mixed reviews for the film (lol!!!) and now the soundtrack looks set to flop!!!
Kiii but epic got mixed reviews like I told you when you tried that lame drag before
And didn’t epic open with 9.3 million? Home open with 19 million and hasn’t even been released everywhere
EPIC earned $268 million on a $93 million budget. It opened with $33 Million. Try again.
—
33M > 19M
67% vs 43%??? B**** try again…
Nope you try again that’s for the whole weekend
9.3 opening day
On imdb home has a score of 6.8/10 and epic has 6.7/10 kii
OOOOOHHHH major difference… *rolls eyes*
Girl don’t worry I forgot about epic. It definitely ain’t no frozen. Lls. I didn’t even know that movie dropped to be honest. They plastered beyonce a name on it in hope for it to leave an impact and it fell through. Home will leave much morn ore of an impact. None of the reviews I saw were bad. I need them to start posting receipts. Nothing but hot air coming out.
When last was S**** in a film, besides the Burger King employee training video. Apparently she set a record for flipping the most amount of beef patties in under one minute! #Score! #SemenHilsonTho #KeriMeansSeminalEmissionInJewish #NeverForget 😆
Oh Rihanna this Era is shaping up to be a mess. But I still wish you the best. Believe me or not I don’t want you to flop, as imperfect as you are you represent a striving black woman. I just wish you will take your craft more seriously.
Nobody Cares
Right it’s getting to the point she needs to do a mixtape like Tinashe
*waits for Navy to come in and proclaim her an icon* #singles #artist
Leave Britney I mean Rihbola alone!!!!
Poor Rihanna.
4-5 seconds- Flop
Home Movie- Huuge blizzard Flop

Yaaaaas let that ho ho, let that h** know.
Paetion and ratchet/11 only platinum? Not fourfive selling a million copies in 2 months and faster than your overrated fave
Lol not you counting streams???? F****** stupid navi as always. Show me the receipts or forever shut the f*** up.
No that’s sales no streams
Unlike ratchet/11 fourfive doesn’t need streams added to sales
Show me the f****** receipts or shut up.
@metzo lmao!!!! We stay providing receipts and they hating asses are becoming even more upset!! But I thought Bey had flop singles?? She’s NEVER even performed 7/11 live at all and its still platinum?? #BEYHIVE
Not you guys clinging to drunk In love her only thieving single off of that album lls.
This album makes me laugh its turning into a Gaga hyping it up as the greatest thing ever. Not much music these days will be remembered in years to come.
She’s still recording this album???? Death. Giving me Artpop/Pinkprint teas.
B**** keep Nicki out of your yeast infested mouth.
“yeast infected mouth” takes one to know one.
No nicki album was done she had a breakup and re recorded
Who ever said she was still recording. She could’ve left the caption only because he was apart of the album…. Yall are doing way too much. And the nerve of you bey fans calling Ri a singles artist when over all her albums haves been far more successful OVERALL than beys. Singles + Sales
Wait she’s still recording???
Gurl!!! Now I have a reason to believe Samantha when she says this album has been marred by delays.
I think so too! The whole HOME excuse is gone now cause it was said that whole concept album she was suppose to do for the soundtrack was scrapped months ago. Early last year she replied to a fan saying she already recorded 3 songs for R8 Lool so idk
I believe she’s overthinking everything tbh maybe that’s why she taking so long to finish. This album won’t be filled with “timeless” kind of songs that she’s “claiming she wants, maybe a few slow songs like 4 5 seconds.
This is a woman who doesn’t like to listen to slow music in her car. Honestly do y’all think she will make a album like that?
Lmaooo Neyo was right when he said this girl is under pressure!!! Usually she’ll be getting ready to release her album with a second single out by now. I think she is lost and doesn’t know what to do. After jamming seven eras into ten years, what else is left to do. I smell a Flop!!!!
I’m keen to hear what the hitmaker has in store for us. She’s taking her time which means it’s gonna be great
DeadPop Teas.
Not a plastic barbie fan when the self proclaimed queen of rap cant sell 300k outside the us
Not the bees infecting this post with their hate. Rihanna is here to STAY. It’s time haters accepted that.
Idk it’s a bit weird to still be recording after you release your first single, but maybe she and her team has a good plan. Wish her the best.
she did that with her last album she actually recorded until a week before her last album was released
I just want to know why people are so bothered with her
That’s the h/I/v mainly because she’s a threat to their aging fave.
It’s the hives fault that they get dragged by every other fan base
27 and 33 isn’t that much of a difference. Miss me with that b*******.
U stay jumping in other peoples arguments and clinging to the navi’s ballsack even though collectively the Hive and the Navi both agree that Keri is a flop. The navi never come to ur defence and you always end up slaughtered #poordat
Gurl bye, you stay effing pressed over beyonce so don’t come here and act like some victorian b****.
what the hell has she been doing all this time?? it better be worth all the wait, , i wish her all the best
No one is bothered by rihanna. It’s just a little pay back from the 4 era! Don’t play victims now!!! Bwahahahaha
Oh so you mean you’re still upset 4closure flopped and talk that talk outsold it?
I wouldn’t have admitted that makes you look bitter
She didn’t even promote talk that talk and it outsold it lls!!! They bitter.
4 was an R&B album with no commercial hits and still managed to go Platinum. TTT was Pop as hell with a generic Edm lead single. Rihanna has to follow trends to sell. Beyonce does not. She’s too scared to release her album without a #1 single!! Lmaooo
I wasn’t on this site during 4 era. I debuted as kelly kelly during the release of “you’re mine eternal flop”. So I don’t know what that means.
|
But if that’s the case, it’s interesting to see how people can be so crispy pressed from 2 years ago
I guess pay back is a b****. Ain’t it Matty 🙂
Kelly Kelly lolol? why can’t you accept dat your male 😆
@Keri Qween. Hi Lovebird, why did you stop using your Kim Kardashian Stan account?
Girl bye
So that was you in that post the other day under all those random aliases in my reply section? Kiii
Keri Qween keeps y’all pressed. Get a life its just a blog
Yeah right. Someone exposed you “that other day” and it all makes sense now. #KeepTrolling tho.
Again girl bye
LMAO not K** Kardashian. I see what this flop Navy troll is trying to do?
Why is the big bird here trying it? Does Birdie even own a platinum album? The Keri my bags stan should sit with Keisha Cole and other lessors.
But your fave flopped on her second album she’s a one album wonder
I can’t wait to hear what she got in stores. Better do 500k first week for all the waiting n anticipation
All the insecurity throughout these comments only speaks to the power Rihanna has over beyonce fans. Now go ahead and respond and prove me right.
My oh my yall better go in!! This is so f****** random to STILL be recording. My, my the karma is so real. After all 2013 the Navy were teasing the Hive about Beyonces album being a no show, now the only one who seems lost is their fave. Can you blame them for having a field day?
I guess shes still searching for that smash to carry her era. Lmao no one is intimidated by this so far underwhelming start to an era. Even Drunk In love was a bigger hit than this girls first single. Just a kiiii from all this.
lmao. this post is such a f****** kiii. now i love rih but maybe just maybe this will teach the navy how to stay in their place. this is just payback for 2013. kiii. Who had faves shook on december 13th 2013. who got Rihanna saying she a problem. lmao #DontPanic
LOL DEATH @ THE BEDBUGS CLINGING TO DRUNK ON JAY Z’S NUTT AND TRYING TO IGNORE ALL THE REST OF THE FLOPS FROM STRUGGLEYONCE LOL.
STAY MAD CUZ 4 5 SECONDS SLAYED 9/11 IN A MATTER OF WEEKS AND STRUGGLEYONCE STILL HASN’T OUTSOLD UNAPOLOGETIC LOL.
Drag sis!!!!
Rihanna got these hive seething at 5 in the morning!!! SCREAMING!!
@Slay_Matic Returns is seething up and down this post, with all its troll accounts.
The hive is acting like rihanna made a statement saying “album is coming out _____”. Death at Keri stan dragging them by their hair strands, like its 9 in the morning and I’m reading posts 4:00 am I just can’t at these h***.
Time difference… It’s 1:35pm
No most of the ones commenting are from NA which is Eastern time zone, you tried it
Hahaha. Drag ha! Is she f****** him too?
i have not been on m** yet. they’ll have that headline… i guess. m***** farm. -_-
The Navy better glue their wigs on tight with some superglue. Cos I have a feeling its only going to get worse.
how is it delayed when a release date was never issued?
The real question is how a flop like 45seconds has sold more than all of Beyonce’s last efforts? Why is rihanna bothering yall if she’s not a threat to Beyoncé? Now we are comparing box office scores? Lmao
This era is so sloppy. It’s clear she has no direction for this album. I’m not sure if the navy is delusional or just stupid. You don’t have to be a Beyonce Stan or a Rihanna hater to tell a flop from a slay. The difference between a fan and a stan… I love Beyonce but i’ll always admit when she’s missed the mark when it’s fair, which isn’t often, but the navy refuses to see anything wrong with their fave. When she flops, “she’s trying new things”. When she hits them with microphones and curses them out for asking for pictures, “she’s just being young”. They praise her “IDGAF” attitude but I don’t think they realize that they’re included in that list of things she doesn’t care about. Yet and still they pay her bills… *Waits*
seriously pointless teasing with names here? what music does he? i have to buy that to sample now? will he do something that fits into that? i really don’t care anymore… tho. chewing gum is so really thin. shoulda stayed with the annual generic release.
Noooo at these comments lol. #RIP
The G**** is always getting dragged for filth lmao. I can’t wait for her downfall which is upon us!!!!
Her downfall? Lls. Yall predicted her downfall since rated r. Yet she has almost quadrupled what your fave has even done. Wasn’t cuara promoting a brand of headphones once? They dropped her wishing a month. You guys attach yourselves to the hive for some sense of security because yall know damn well your fave is barely keeping a job.
Do you all remember through the 2 years prior up until the release of Beyonce’s self titled album, people were saying the same thing you all are saying now? Then BOOM! Out of nowhere, she releases an album. Hmmmmmmmm. Makes ya wonder.
Karma Hun! The G**** especially LB dragged Beyoncé throughout 2013 and now Rihanna is doing the same secretive s*** dropping snippets and being hush hush about music kii
Yasss Im glad you can see it!!!
Yes boo… Except a rehash of what Beyonce did will surely fail/look hella desperate.
but epic flopped harder than Beyonce’s ass in obsessed..
http://www.pajiba.com/seriously_random_lists/the-10-biggest-box-office-flops-of-2013.php
She didn’t set a release date but its clear the original plan was pushed back/scratched completley. Didn’t she say last year her album is ‘hopefully coming soon’ and her family and friends tweeting about the album? I remember when this site posted it. Def Jam come get your girl please. I think shes lost.
She is promoting home… She never gave a release date. Therefore that just makes you guys pressed for her to drop. Pathetic. No other fan base comes to rihanna post and want her music to drop more than the hive. Be perched at the end of your seats! She will release and scalp you bald. Wait on it.
The way you guys were pressed for Bey to release in 2013?
Know we were not pressed. For a surprise album? How does that sound. Nobody was thinking about her until she dropped the album. She used propaganda circling around her surrogate child to rain relevant until her album dropped. Rih just recently stopped receiving awards for music from two years ago. Yall pressed for a release to critique.
The Salvation Army is really getting a taste of their own medicine with all the ‘wheres Beyonces album’ ‘why is she scared to release’ ‘snippetyonce’ talking they did two years ago. Now look whos fave is taking notes kiii.
But where is Miguel’s album, or has he given up on music after being a concert body slammer?
“@NoellaAlstrom: R8 SICK!!!!!!!!!” (rihanna’s cousin) Remember this was back in August hmm
Girl.. I”ve been saying this. She has been recording a whole Album and pretty much finished it a long time ago but after Beyonce dropped that masterpiece (and stopped the world), Rih got shook and ‘re-evaluated the whole direction she wanted for the album. She scrapped everything and decided (this is my theory) to go on a another direction different from the generic that she was about to put out.
—
I follow her brother and he had been tweeting “R8 is coming” tweets monthhssss ago.
Yasss ibthink that too
The Navy need to stopp ! The whole concept album she was suppose to do for HOME was scrapped a long time ago. Second since last year her fans on twitter we sending around one of those Rihplies pic wher Rihanna replied to a fan saying she had already recorded 3 songs for R8. 45 seconds been out for what nearly two months now and still no release date and she’s still recording hmm. Stop with the “why would she release two albums at the same time” she’s been releasing snippets from so R8 and Home if that not confusing already idk what is
I think she looking for a smash like someone said.
Only idiots and imbeciles would think that she would drop her album and that soundtrack around the same time.
why would she try and promote two albums at the same time… that’s stupid….
I bought the soundtrack and it is great, kind of kiddy but otherwise pretty decent. Dancing in the dark, as real as you and me, towards the sun, run to me, feel the light>>>
U must be the only one who bought it.
Since the movie was pushed back then she chose to focus on the movie and put in more work into her personal album. It would be confusing to have a soundtrack and LP promotion at the same time. The hive is pressed beyonce was dragged all of 2013 and 2014 so her minions are trying to do the same with Rih now
Are you still worried about the hive babe, they have got no jobs or lives, which is why they spend valuable man hours posting emojis and updating wikipedia pages.
‘
Don’t worry about them, most of them are like Slay_Hive, lack any reasonable ability to think. They are at most, functional retards.
Lmao you’re right. The hive is pretty dumb. How are you today? Excited for R8?
So why did she release a single?
why did Ciara let Future n** in her?
Why did R****** let Fistopher?
But she didnt get pregnant unlike baby mama #6. When will ciara stop letting men into her p****, it’s obviously scaring them away. P**** is supposed to catch niiggas not leave you pregnant with no money to pay for studio time
Blah blah blah. She still went back to an abuser on multiple occasions and even made songs about f****** him for her young fans to hear which is even more stupid. Stupid h**.
But she left him and learnt from her mistake unlike ciara who is still looking for love from z list rappers who don’t want her… She’s desperate for a man which is the epitome of stupid and deppressed
But Ciara’s left future. The irony of you saying all that like Rihanna has managed to keep a man . Where’s Rihanna’s love? Or is she still hopping from industry D to D every time she has a new era coming. What was the last one, Leonardo?
And you still not answered my first question. Why did she release that lead single if she didn’t want people to get confused? Or did she not know what she was doing with that either?
Because it’s Kanyes song as well and they probably wanted to create for their track, joint tour and albums. Haven’t you notice Kwest is also on hold? It’s because they both going to release their music around the same time then have a international tour.
How is it Kanyes song when its under her name and company on Itunes. Not the Titanics passing the buck over to Kanye already.
@overdose she is working on two projects.Are you slow??
@Rihflop. No one was talking to you, which is why your point is irrelevant. Are you slow?
Lmao shes still recording?
This is going to be her DeadFlop, i mean Artpop era. Can’t wait for the dragging.
You fleas are retarded.She has an album coming in March and that album is called HOME.There’s a release date for that kii why would she release R8 now when Home is coming first? It would be stupid to release the most important album first.Stop acting like she didnt release a single from R8.45seconds is proof that she’s not scared.duhhh
In other news,
I’m still laughing at this..
http://thatgrapejuice.net/2014/10/octave-sessions-cheryl-cole-performs-crazy-stupid-love-acoustically/
Screaming at this pressed f** still posting about me, a week later. It acts like no one saw that rihject hero struggle kiiii
I really hope he was just there as a songwriter or a producer. I am not a fan of his to say the least. Still excited for R8 though
SMH Who the hell are you???? Your broke áss better stan for the true and living Rihsus and not your flop fave 😆
Haha MESS!
Wonder what it’s going to scan in its 1st week….
Tacky a** mezz!
