Find out what she had to say about that below…
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight, RiRi said of ‘R9’ and her pregnancy:
“No [it won’t slow things down]. Maybe a couple [of] videos, but I can sing!”

Jury’s out on when (or if) ‘R9’ will arrive. What is for sure is that RiRi, her boo ASAP Rocky, and their sons RZA and Riot Rose have a new addition on the way.


Something happened to her teeth or it’s just a gum recession?
You couldn’t sing even before you were pregnant guuurl 🤣
She used to release an album per year now it’s a baby per year. BadgalRiRi, sis, stop now, the world is overpopulated
Rihanna will FOREVER be humbled by the fact that she’s a SINGLES ARTIST. Multiple Diamond hits but 0 Diamond albums in ANY country and also no album selling 300k in a single week. The bar is so LOW. 😂
Her microwave music is also enjoyable. All I can say is her label push her like how they push Beyonce. Also she has taste in choosing her the hits
Jesus is who you need to be idolizing, not these demonic heifers.
Gurl bye. Stick that non existed album right in your pregnant ass hole
It’s been like 10 years. Anyone still care?
You right. She want everyone to care after 10 years. This woman got to the top spot in music by being strategic. She ain’t stupid. Rihanna is playing stupid, getting pregnant on purpose to stall her album even more as it will flop with no hit song. Only videos? Yeah right. Believe it when the single is released. It’s just another 9 months of no album.
