It looks like Rihanna fans may have more waiting to do before the star drops that ever-elusive new album.
This, despite the Bajan belle being announced as the headliner of the Super Bowl Halftime Show 2023.
Full story below…
Hot on the promotional trail for her Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 show Amazon Prime Video, Rih was questioned about releasing a body of work following the arrival of ‘Lift Me Up’ – her theme for ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.’
Keeping it candid, she said…not yet. Speaking to the Associated Press, the 34-year-old explained:
“Super Bowl is one thing, new music is another. Do you hear that, fans?
Because I knew. The second I announce this, they are going to think my album is coming…I need to get to work.
But I do have new music coming out. We’ll see. Unrelated. But a special project.”
With what, what are…
That pic is giving gotcha 😭😭😭
The Super Bowl is a massive platform. Rihanna would be a fool to not use the opportunity to jumpstart a new era. We’ll see…
I don’t think so hunnie. JT flopped hard even he performed on super bowl during man in the wood era💅🏾
Not you comparing a JT to a Rihanna 💀 gurl get the hell on
Her fat ass lies about her album more than SZA💀
And you broke af
Broke ass
She‘s never been an album seller and she’s already a billionaire from her other ventures so there’s no point in releasing new music. Just stick to what you’re good at.
There is; she’s an artist who enjoyed creating music, lol. It’s not about the money for everyone. You’re clearly not an artist.
Y’all be so stuck on numbers lol some people actually make music because it’s an art form and it moves people 💀 damn brainwashed robots y’all have become always talking about a chart and a sale lol
Rihanna is far from an artist. She’s a product and has NO creative input. That excuse would work for someone like Beyonce who’s an artist in every sense. 😉
Stfu! Lazy is everything💅🏾
She was just testing water. Smh, Taylor blocked her from getting #1 💅🏾Glad she knows her place
Who fcking cares 😮💨 where is Taylor’s billionaire status? 🤡
Lord why do artists play these games? 🤷🏾♂️ It better be worth the wait or it will tank.
She’s seriously giving me “greatest hits” album with a couple of b-side new tracks tacked on and a new studio album Q4 2023 teas ☕️
This would be a ultra safe route to capitalise on SB2023, while engaging a whole new generation of streamers who were not engaging with music consumption the last time she dropped a new album (+5 years ago) and are now.
Like whatever tho, we all lived this long without her new music so is anyone really losing sleep? 😴😴😴
I’m not pressed for new Rihanna music anymore. She has more than enough music to last a lifetime at this point. I’m ready for her SB performance though for certain. I hope she stepped her performing game up. Wouldn’t want her to embarrass herself on that big stage.
I love this esp the first part and no dont worry shes too beautiful to embarass
One ting Queen Rih will do is tease the fans. Gurl we are here and ready for that album. Everyone needs to save up their coins so we can buy her album and end Toylet Swift 💅🏾 Rihanna is coming for the whole music industry 💅🏾💅🏾💅🏾
Gurl I got ALL my coins sittin on ready 💰🤑🤑💯
Whatever you cookin, we here for it My Queen. You were born to rule the hearts.
Go Rih. We luhh uu
Where u bn btchh??
Recording s***
What do artists get out of teasing fans? Or do us fans set ourselves up? Or is it both?
Beyoncé
Rihanna
SZA
Normani
Chlöe
y’all been aggy
One thang in common, they are all trashy ashy clowns 💅🏾 🤡
And you are broke 😩
You’ve GOT to be kidding Robyn. Come on
After a near 7 year wait, I think Rih should comeback with a #1’s comp or greatest hits with 2-3 new songs including Life Me Up promote that for a few months then drop a new album of new songs.
She’s no longer hot and needs to lose 25lbs pronto if she wants to be taken seriously. Her looks are a big part of her appeal. Now she looks washed up. Rihanna looks older than Jlo whose old enough to be her mama.
This b****….. 🙄. We getting tired of waiting. Like seriously just say u ain’t got nothing to say musically anymore and you’ve shifted your focus to your beauty empire instead…
