Hot Shot: Rihanna Listens To ‘ANTI’

Published: Monday 25th Jan 2016 by Sam

For the last year, the only thing Rihanna fans have had to listen to is…silence.

The model’s eighth album ‘ANTI’ has been marred by such messy roll-out that radio silence is the only thing that’s saved the fiasco from being bigger than it’s been.

Now, four months after unveiling a cover for an album that wasn’t even finished, Ms. Fenty has officially waved the final flag on the embattled LP.

In a bid to re-rev the hype machine, the 27-year-old took to Twitter moments ago to share the following…

No word on when the masses will be too, but we imagine it’ll be soon.

It begs the question, though: can Rih plausibly compete with Hurricane Adele (which’ll no doubt be gearing up for a second sweep through post the Grammy’s and second ’25’ single)? What about the buzz around Queen Bey, who’ll no doubt be looking to sting with the follow-up to 2013’s self-titled game-changer.

Answers are clearly nigh.

Watch…this…space.

    Can’t wait. Fyi, she is so stunning.

    • Fancy BISH January 25, 2016

      And her friend Melissa “Moocher” Snipes is sitting somewhere close to her in that room smoking ganja and eating Cheetos with orange juice for breakfast…trust that! lol

  8. iSpeakTruthNoFallacy January 25, 2016

    It took her forever to finish this damn album, so my level of expectation of excellence is much higher. This sh*t better be straight ???.

  9. IG: @mixedboy January 25, 2016

    Can’t wait to watch all the haters have their edges burned then wig snatched back when they hear Anti.

  10. Mariah The Legend January 25, 2016

    OMG SHE SO STUNNING.

  11. Mariah The Legend January 25, 2016

    Rih is ready to snatch b****** hunny.

  12. .:: Centurion ::. January 25, 2016

    Rihanna is the only artist in history to surpass 200 million record sales before the age of 30. https://t.co/LJ5tZoZiLx

  13. ?Queen Molly? January 25, 2016

    I hope it slays for her sake

  14. Jamie January 25, 2016

    Y’all really acting like she’s about to kill. I feel so sorry for y’all. If she releases after the Grammys, Adele’s going to come back and reclaim her thrown atop the charts.

  15. Lou January 25, 2016

    I. CANNOT. WAIT.

    OMG.

    My soul is ready and my spirit is waiting…

    I know this album will SLAY; I just know it!

    P.S: She’s a Beatiful Girl.

    • Faf January 25, 2016

      Adele coming back this week Bowies posthumous sales were a minor setback

      She will be #1 probably now until beyonce drops or some rock group

      I’m predicting 350k streams included
      That’s if she releases after the Grammys immediately

      If lot she’ll go plat on streams but gold in sales and 3m “worldwide”

      Like her fans cling so desperately to

      • Faf January 25, 2016

        Not***

      • .:: Centurion ::. January 25, 2016

        You stan for Ciara who hasn’t seen an album certification since 2008. What exactly is Ciara winning at, at being a single mother raising a bāstard child and getting child support checks?

      • What now January 25, 2016

        @FAF BUT WHEN WAS CIARA’S LAST #1?! Are you really trying to pretend that Adele doesn’t murder she wrote Ciara’s “album sales”? #20K

  16. Barb-wire January 25, 2016

    Why she so white tho? o.0 Skin bleaching gone wrong?

    • Gloden Gaga January 25, 2016

      What the f***? You’re so stupid but then again you live in the villages of Eastern Cape according to Cake Like Lady Gaga

  17. ???Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans??? January 25, 2016

    Yes! I already got my tickets for the tour and I am READY for this album to slay so damn hard! I just need her to release the album a good time before the first show, so that she can give us a chance to memorize the new lyrics. I’m sure all the shows will sell-out now. Queen of Digital Music! Black Queen of Digital Pop.

  18. ???Chile, leave my weave at the door and don’t steal it like those broke ass barb stans??? January 25, 2016

    Already got my Apple Music subscription still active and ready. All I need her to do is drowning album, and I’ll behave first to stream and download simultaneously. I’m not playing with this queen’s long-awaited New music. Slay a bit, queen of perfecting music.

  19. Watermelondrea January 25, 2016

    Watch anti selling less than ARTPOP in the first week. Mark my words. 3 singles already a flop, she’s over. She’s no longer relevant like lady caca. Bye

  20. Gloden Gaga January 25, 2016

    She’s done. Good. Now release it b****

  21. RICHIE_RICH January 25, 2016

    She cute !!! Headphones are the bizzzz ??????

  22. danica85 January 25, 2016

    Im so excited she better have different types of music that goes with the antidiary theme like futuristic sounds and tribal sound orchestra sound and the voices on antidiary speaks so confident i hope they picked a grand sound anyway love her and yes shes stunning

  23. #JACKIE January 25, 2016

    Girl bye. The masses are over this exhausting album campaign. I hope Bey surprise releases on the same day as Anti. The Gāyvy will WEEP!????

    • What now January 25, 2016

      Beyoncé won’t have to release a surprise album to outsell Ciara’s next flop. Your fav sold less than 400k with her last FOUR consecutive releases. How in tf can you call someone a flop? You self drag yourself every time u come for Riri, bc Cici is the biggest flop of all time. (PS: Don’t even try that platinum single bull, because without streaming, she wouldn’t even have that….)

      • #JACKIE January 25, 2016

        Say whatever you want about Ciara sis, I. Don’t. Give. A. F***. I said what I said. Stick a fork in Rihanna’s FourFiveHead she’s DONE.

  24. JanStan January 25, 2016

    Not a single one of her shows are sold out. NOT A SINGLE ONE. Not L.A. not Chicago, not Brooklyn. Sad that her contemporaries have taken a dookie on any possible success this era.

  25. What now January 25, 2016

    Those eyes are everything!!! Bìtch iz about to slay moi!

  26. Anti (hives scared of R8) January 25, 2016

    This album will be everything the pop world needs.Nobody can change the game like Rihanna.

    • JanStan January 25, 2016

      But I think the pop world spoke about what it needed when they collectively rejected the THREE singles that she already released. But u can take a seat at one of her arena stops. There are plenty left.

      • Music all the way January 25, 2016

        SCREAMING….you guys are the best

      • #JACKIE January 25, 2016

        DEATHHHHH?

      • Anti (hives scared of R8) January 25, 2016

        AWWW look at my 3 little wh*res BBHMM and Four Five seconds where not rejected.Rihanna snatched wigs with an acoustic ballad.45sec is critically acclaimed and became a top 10 hit in the US,dominated the charts WW.BBHMM broke itunes,reached platinum in a short period of time.Rihanna is one of the few who can slay with urban music.
        AO is the only flop,thanks to Tidal. Lol haters don’t like when we mention her 13 #1s but are quick to come for her singles!!

  27. Cake like Lady GaGa 25 January 25, 2016

    Why is @LB busy trolling us, pretending as if he will actually buy the album when we all know he torrents all his music. The broke t***** can’t even afford R350 (+/- $30) concert tickets. That’s why he never went to support his fave when she was in Soweto where he lives

    • Music all the way January 25, 2016

      At one point he was from Soweto then it was Botswana and now its Canada…….
      Anyway wasnt it sold-out?

  28. TinasheLovesYou January 25, 2016

    yes RiRi ?

  29. Authentic January 25, 2016

    I want Rihanna to win!!! I just hope she comes hard & ready to work…. Leave the slugs @ lesser artist alone… That’s the “Mariah Complex” be secure in your success!!!!

  30. Music all the way January 25, 2016

    I love how you guys are hyping this album like is the second coming,,hope she doesnt flop,,
    Anyway she can flop all she wants and as long as the music is good then um here for it,i mean the bit©h has sold over 200mil records…. But I know you g@ys will be “dragging” here so whatever

  31. him January 25, 2016

    Everytime I visit this f****** site for Rihanna info..the author is so damn disrespectful. Stop referring to her as a model and comparing her to everyone else! Just report the s***..shoot it straight and leave out some of that opinion! Too much opinion not enough facts

    Janet Jackson may have had her most iconic era after 4 albums but Ray of Light > anything Janet Jackson has ever and will ever release.
    As Rated R proved, when it comes to a quality project, Rihanna shits on Beyonce any day and Rihanna’s RAY OF LIGHT is coming, I cannot wait for it.

  33. blue January 25, 2016

    man the level of excitement from just a couple of twitter post is unbelievable.

  34. RihYonce January 25, 2016

    My coins are ready Rih!!! It’s about time ! I know it’s going to slay because she took her time , guys we have to support both Rih & Bey. Keep our black girls up there slaying these pop tarts #ANTI #B6

  35. GurlWepa1989 January 25, 2016

    Why is it every Rihanna’s post has to be compare to Bey on this site? We should be happy that our beautiful black females are killing the game in their own respective ways. Adele album sales slaughter Bey’s whole catalogue why don’t u mention that? Yup, because the write of this site is a true hypocrite and a Bey stand. When Rih put out 7 albums back 2 back you complained but then when she decides to take the time, you still complaining. The hatred is evident on this site. SMH

  36. Duffster Lovato January 25, 2016

    I pray this album slays, anyway Bey is coming for her throne. Bey could make a surprise performance at the Grammys i can feel it.

  37. ?Queen Molly? January 25, 2016

    Wanted to apologize for my insensitive comments over the weekend. Im sorry Tyler and anyone else who felt offended by my disgusting comment about my race. Y’all were totally right the things i said were outta line and I take ownership for that. I rather not speak on race issues fr here on out.

    @Tyler I truly am sorry never wanted to fight with you hope we can get past everything bro

  38. CherylSoldierr January 25, 2016

    Sidenote: why is fad del Rey releasing so many tacky microwave singles to a gp that clearly doesn’t use her vodka guzzling goatcals anymore?

  39. Career Ender January 25, 2016

    all these ballons
    .
    I think this album will drop on her 28th birthday

  40. Gerett January 25, 2016

    She looks gorgeous as always although I don’t remember her eyes ever being that color,the lighting/filter must’ve altered it.
    I really hope this album does well cause it seems like the GP isn’t hype for it at all. Even the tour isn’t doing really well and it starts in less than a month. I bought my ticket and I really hope she’s been rehearsing cause I kee seein pics of her leaving clubs. I’m praying this album doesn’t flop. Especially since she hasn’t had that one big single that drives eras. On social media the headphones are getting more attention than the album. Everyone better BUY it when it comes out.

  41. AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig January 25, 2016

    Why the long face rih? Did you finally realise how shxt your music is ? and why is her eyes the same colour as my p***?

    • AnnaliseKeatingsNewWig January 25, 2016

      *P.Ī.S.S.

  42. Career Ender January 25, 2016

    Tyler, please reject the human sewege’s apology

    this is how it operates, after 3 months you’ll fight again

    don’t acknowledged that overtly emotional Atlanta ghetto b*****

  47. JMar January 25, 2016

    Did Rihfund Get Her Refund Check Yet For Her Garbage Ass Singles.

  48. King Mark111 /.\ January 25, 2016

    Those eyes! She look like a Final Fantasy character.

    • CherylSoldierr January 25, 2016

      Screams! She copying from a video game now?

      • King Mark111 /.\ January 25, 2016

        Can Cherry copy Rihanna’s album sales?

      • HailBeysus January 25, 2016

        But hoeanna has always copied from anime. She even stole a Pokemon trainers look to a tea! LMFAO!!!

      • King Mark111 /.\ January 25, 2016

        Your unoriginal fave copied everyone, so move it. Can she copy a #1 this decade?

  49. Meteorite January 25, 2016

    They say they spotted her and leonardo dicaprio in Paris together, so I wondered if he put it in her life and that’s why she finished the album lmao

  50. JanStan January 25, 2016

    KII to the gods with the navy acting like this era didn’t already start a year ago. Acting like her post is a teaser of this era and the 3 singles that already flopped, stopped and rolled never happened. Stop with the delusion PLEASE.

  51. JT January 25, 2016

    Traphanna better be on 70% of the album, I know Travis & Melissa would of influenced her

  52. BEY>RIH January 25, 2016

    She is beautiful.. But I can’t wait for this h** to flop!!

  53. Rosie January 25, 2016

    I see that stick is still stuck in Cheryl Soldier’s loose ass. I’ve been offline for a week starting the new spring semester and I still have it so pressed, what a sad and lonely life it must lead. Not it checking Lana’s Instagram anticipating the Freak video like a damn stan. Get (I Can) Only Release in the UK to 70K before talking s*** about anyone, please.

  54. Rosie January 25, 2016

    And she looks pretty. Those headphones cost more than 99% of y’all’s yearly income (since you all either get all of your money from welfare or work for minimum wage at Taco Bell).
    She better not release during GRAMMYs week, or she will have to rely on streaming for her life.

  55. CherylSoldierr January 26, 2016

    Fad Rey stans can’t utter a word about sales or being pressed when their fave posts up a 500% decline in album sales accompanied with a flip flop from Stan base to Stan base all while worrying about gagas every move (which explains why your number one Stan is a c squad ass licker) B!txh weren’t you stanning grimy or flopsey or something? That self drag when you know the only ppl that listen to those flop are butch lesbian lovers, i.e. you.

  56. WE FOUND RIHANNA January 26, 2016

    Adele is scared!

    • killian January 26, 2016

      Dumbest comment I’ve ever seen on TGJ
