‘End of Time‘ producer Diplo has revealed that Rihanna is still hard at wrk on her new album this week, doing so during an interview in which he suggested his star eclipses hers.
Is he right?
Weigh in below…
I was in the studio with Rihanna two weeks ago, still playing the game. I was trying to convince her why she should do so-and-so, and thinking, ‘Lean On is bigger than any of her songs around the world right now. Why am I even sitting here trying to negotiate?
The Major Lazer maestro had that to say about Ms. Fenty during an interview with The Standard, shared with the publication after fans of the ‘Music of the Sun’ singer were led to believe work on her new album had already drawn to a close.
The yet-to-be-tiled release has spawned three singles since the start of the year.
Do you agree with his remarks?

He didn’t say he was bigger than rihanna. You ask people to weigh in on something he didn’t say???
You guys at TGJ HQ need to check your writers. Get that credibility guys… I know the struggle is real but tryna get clicks with straight lies is not a good look.
Thirsty??? I’d say parched LOOOOL
Yeah, that’s not what he was saying … It was shade tho.
Shade is always on people’s minds round here!! Let’s think positively (by positive I mean with SENSE)
He was probably in so many words tryna say he was giving rihanna tips on how to get commercial success but she’s doing what she wants to do. It’s clear rihanna is not aiming for a number one. If she was she would get it cod she’s been there and done that! LETS BE HONEST
That doesn’t even make sense. If diplo wants Rihanna to get commercial success, and Rihanna is not interested in commercial success, then why is she entertaining his opinions? I’ll answer that for you. Because she does indeed want commercial success. Bothering to release her music as singles, bothering to perform at award shows, performing on snl. If she wasn’t interested in commercial success, these things would be unnecessary. LET’S BE HONEST
Because she’s doing her JOB!!! She is an entertainer hence why she entertains. Whilst you’re pressed about why she can’t get a number one, she’s sittinv on a pile of cash UNBOTHERED because she’s still making music, it’s still selling, she’s still performing, she’s still relevant!!!
Like I said. If she wanted a number one, she’s get one
Couple things. It’s her JOB to listen to what diplo has to say concerning her career? I didn’t know that. You said he wanted commercial success and then expressed that that is not something Rihanna is interested in. But if that were true, then why did Rihanna bother exercising interest in him? The navy is up and down this post attempting to drag diplo. But if he’s so irrelevant, why did Rihanna even consider him? Who said anything about number #1’s? I guess the navy has to insert that in every comment. You’re right she is still selling. AO is slaying at #172 right now.
Wow ^^^ got TGJ TOGETHER *SNAPS FINGERS LIKE NENE LEAKS* UMKAY !!! Lol but my only Problem with this comment is U stand can’t keep it this real when they are SHADING OTHER ARTIST WHO R ACTUALLY IN A WIEGHT CLASS OF THEIR OWN! Call that TEA
Am I a part of team jump a ho!!!???
I always have an opinion but I decide when I want to type it out or not.
I commented because David and Sam sometimes annoy me and I called them out for it.. Bad journalism is bad journalism! You’re dismissed now
Death no one respects her. She’s soooooo done!
he-ara has been down since 2007 🙂
#RL8’s release date? Where is it?
You’re asking about #R8 when no one has been asking for a ciara album after her debut. ¡Que lástima!
he-ara has been done since 2007 she is ridiculed on a daily basis she is a single father she haven’t seen a gold or plat album since 2007 she’s still performing in night clubs and theatres she cant even book a amphitheater bush was still in office when she was relevant the only award show stages she book is bet lmaooooo your fave is a failure
Death at Jackie selling under 25k in its first week. Don’t get dragged.
Furthermore the Rihanna shade is tired.. Put it to sleep and I’m sure Bey would agree that you guys reference her far too much. It’s all just toooo queeny! Like… Why are mentioning the fact he produced End Of Time. You’re reaching so hard that you’re pulling muscles!!! And yuh still nuh reach what you a reach fuh
Yet every post about Beyonce has 200 comments of pressed Rihanna stans.
Lol no one gives a McFuck about the juggernaut
Good luck to Rihanna on this project.
He told no lies and he didn’t say HE was a bugger star. Hes basically saying the songs shes putting out are FLOPS and making no impact.
Everyone knows Rihannas underperforming, even her fans.
The real tea is the fact shes STILL in the studio. Lmao. This girl is so lost.
He’s so arrogant…..Never heard of the song that is bigger than all of her songs at the moment, guess i live in a cave.
Everyone’s bigger than Rihanna. What Beyonce wore to that boxing match is more talked about than “RYouGettingAReleaseD8?”…
Crackhead Rihanna is done. No wonder she’s working as a model now.
We all know Rihanna has one of the worse attitudes in this business! Her arrogance is becoming the death of her! People only write and work for her because they make bank with everything she’s done. They’re willing to tolerate her bullsh*t just to get paid!
To my knowledge, he is saying that he was in the studio pitching some track suggestions at her and she wasn’t having any of them. And he’s trying to say that his sh*t is poppin right now, so who is she to not trust his judgement.
pretty much. so that has nothing to do with Rihanna personally but simply with Diplo’s own stupidity and arrogance. Who would even bother with the opinion of a guy who dates KantSing Pretty anyway… next!
Well he did make Rolling Stones top 5 DJ’s lists a while back and he’s good at making very ‘current’ music. We don’t really know the context of the interview but it would definitely work in her favour to be on good terms with him, especially as he can help promote her music in NYC clubs. But anyway she wants this album to be timeless but Diplo mainly produces current music – he would probably give her a bunch of BBHMM sounding tracks which we DO NOT need!
Rihanna is not done, she will slay as usual. She is a serial hit maker, that’s what she does and she’ll deliver a plethora of hits as usual and slay as usual.
‘
She is taking her time with this album and so far I love everything she has released. It is very different and infectious and I love it, especially American Oxygen.
‘
So hive, please take your time hating, there’s more reason for you to seethe in the coming future, so save your energy, you’ll be seething all year.
Excuses excuses…
But you’re the queen of excuses
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I DONT THINK SO
DELUSION 🙂
Exactly…
Glad we agree, that you’re delusional that is.
‘
Thanks for clearing that up.
My pleasure…
And diplo better create something amazing if he wants that mess to be on R8, if Rihanna, serial hit maker, says no, then that crap is not popping. Pitch it to Ciara, she accepts anything.
But Jackie is in stores NOW! While 3 singles later, #RL8 is nowhere in sight 🙂
Well hopefully you are spending your time buying Jackie and not worrying about Rihanna.
I don’t know much about Diplo to comment but all I know is this era for Rihanna is so confusing. Jay Z’s TIDAL and her putting out her record label is a struggle that shouldn’t be happening. TIDAL is flopping and Rihanna will continue to lose potential BB hot 100 #1’s due to it. And I thought we were suppose to get a video treatment to “BBHMM?”
Anyways it might be too late now.
I don’t think it is too late to make that a decent Top 10/20 single. matter of fact, her team will be stupid as f*** to not release a video… DWUW teas. anyway, BBHMM is catchy as hell and I don’t think it’s done on radio her team needs to focus on ONE single at a time
#jackie
what is a Diplo? don’t nobody truly use him since M.I.A. and Run The World. bye bye beau beau.
He did Run The Flop? Ok, nuff said.
NOOOOOOOO NO HE DIDN’T LMAO, And he is trying to push that mess to Rihanna….I cannot
well it’s his beat on Run The Slayage but no he’s not the producer. are you still seething about Bey’s epic BBMA performance? why? let it go…
RTW sampled his groups song ‘Pon de Floor’, there’s a difference.
I don’t even know who he is, nor heard a song from him. IS the EDM mess still big over seas? Cause outside of a rave, it’s dead here.
I think Ciara used him or something, I think he has seen the writing on the wall concerning that, but Rihanna cannot save everyone.
The way Beysus’ credibility is set up though

Oh, I gotta update for the haters. Home is still in the top 5 after a month of being released and made $158M in the states and $326M WW. I thought it would flop? Rihanna saved DreamWorks.
‘
Wait do you hear that, that’s the sound of Beysus’ brain cells popping off 🙂
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA but where’s the soundtrack on BB??? Why is it the 4th worst reviewed Dreamworks film of all time???
But it’s still in the top 5 and has blown Epic out of the water 🙂
‘
I can help you find your credibility, the facts are that way –>
Excuses…
Yes, I can most definitely see one, from you, the queen of excuses.
Who cares about a soundtrack when YOUR MOVIE is on to make 400M WW? How a “singles” artist save a whole damn movie studio? lol
And where’s yours about Home and RL8 flopping???
And how is R8 flopping exactly, humor me
Umm all the singles??? The fact that no one cares???
What about the singles? And what proof do you have that nobody cares?
The proof is in the charts Hun, if the singles still exist there… ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
But the charts show the singles, save for American Oxygen actually did well. If people didn’t care, don’t you think her singles wouldn’t even get a hot 100 entry like Pretty Hurts?
But they didn’t reach #1… Therefore they flopped…
Wow, all this talk about #1s, your fav must be a pro in that department I guess. I guess Beyonce can teach Rihanna a thing or two about how to get a #1 hit, she must have had plenty from her most recent album, I just didn’t see them.
‘
How many #1s does Beyonce have again?
And how many #1’s is Rihanna gonna stall at until RL8 is over, or maybe even after if she doesn’t decide to go back to generic EDM???
Avoiding the question?
Just like you..
LMAO is there a reason you won’t answer my question?
is there a reason you won’t answer my question?
Can you answer the question Beycifer? How many #1’s does Beyonce have? And How many does Rihanna have?
Yes, because you’re deflecting, it is a desperate tactic tbh, I’m sure you know all about that, you do it a lot.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Well since I have exposed how uncredible you are, that is my cue to go watch Emmerdale. See you later Beysus (even the name screams mentally unstable LMAO).
Who tf watches Emmerdale??? Probably the same people that buy Rihbola’s new singles…
Thats still only a surplus of 191 million.Beyonce has grossed a billion dollars at the box office and was at a time hollywoods highest paid actress…
Good for her, how much did Epic gross (I cannot seem to remember)?
Never heard of this til now and no, Rihanna shouldn’t even be working with anyone that made Run The Flop.

Is this the sound he is trying to push Rihanna’s way? Rihanna is over this, he needs to try something else if he wants that on R8.
She’s releasing tracks like American Flopygen and B**** Better Have My Flop…So I don’t see why not.
Not Sevyn SLAYING today!
Funky Funky!

Wanna speak on the $326M film now?
So can someone post a D**** hit song? Cause everything I see is flops or a group’s work.
Lmaoooo he told no lies!!! Why is she still recording for her album after three singles?? She has no direction and is still under so much pressure. This is the beginning of the end!!!
Still have a 3 year old as your AVI?

So SlayHive’s wrong for having a 3 year old as his avi…but you can make fun of one?
duplo? he got some good rep? 😀 tryna land a lil cooporate deal on her album?!? let’s hear it. if he thinks he’s that good… he… !?! but… he gotta know.. the longer the album delays the deeper the critics go into that matter. this eye is all over the place. we’ll see how it does. imho tho… shoulda stayed there with the old “fast food” release.
LMAO at the Navy bragging about a childrens movie with OK numbers while Rihannas main contribution is at the bottom of the charts. Kids aint paying to see te movie because of her which explains why the soundtrack is at the bottom of the charts.
Although Diplo is correct that his song is an international hit compared to BBHMM and American Oxygen currently, Lean On is an okay record. Nothing Major Lazer has come out with recently is as ground breaking as their earlier work like “Get Free.” If Rihanna were to do another song like that, it would be a step back as it sounds like something she would’ve already done on her LOUD album. As you many might not have liked 45S, it was something different and a step forward for her.
irrelevant
These comments though ????????????????
No one gives a Fvck about his goat! She is played out. They better start experimenting with another formula because her tried and true recipe is expired! Should have continued to release annually in November, that seemed to be working for her.
She still hasn’t had a larger first week debut than The Evolution, which is a kii in itself!

Quit worrying about Rihgoat and go stream Jackass
No one is talking about Jackin”, why?
He said no such thing, nor did he suggest it. He said nothing negative. Lol @ tgj trying to incriminate Diplo.

The utter desperation. Even after introducing “This Week’s Top Commentators” and emojis, this blog continues to flop and fall down the Alex rankings. I’m ready to jump ship. 😆
*Alexa
Hahaha I dont think he meant that but it was still SHADE regardless. Her songs are a mess this era
From an outside perspective (neither hive nor navy) let me just say LB is the most arrogant, snobby, delusional, hypocritical, pretentious bottom f** on this entire site. It literally said that it has the best taste in music out of everyone on here and acts like it knows talent and artistry and it’s fave is Rihanna (-_-) wow
BWAHAHAHA!!! Read that stupid b****!
Lmaoo bi tches wasnt runnin their mouth when she was slaying you hos with GGGB,Loud etc.She released material thats not guaranteed #1. 45 is folk,BBHMM is trap(tral music going #1 is rare) and AO is too uplifting.
Shouldn’t the C stans stream Jackie and help its sales? Worry about Rih later because even if her LP does flop it won’t do Ciara numbers.
Beyonce fans, Rihana showed up at the Met Gala looking like a queen with her long ass dress dragging on the floor… Maybe Beyonce can carry her dress along with the body guards, that way she could learn how to slay properly. Take notes
Nice
GonoRiha is absolutely a hot a** mess.She’s so coked up and her delusional fans just giving every excuse in the book.She releasing singles and getting their money without an album and will eventually release the album and will still get their money. How many songs are going to be on the album? Her stans can’t be that dumb I know, oh who am i kidding, of course they are. She’s on drugs and they’re in denial, her music is mediocre and they’re in denial, but get that money b****.If they’re too stupid to see they’re being played, then keep milking their azzes.
