It’s been ten years since 2016 ‘Anti,’ and in the time since, the Bajan billionaire has built an empire with Savage X Fenty, welcomed three children with A$AP Rocky, and headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Still, fans remain laser-focused on album nine.

In a 2025 chat with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna insisted she’d finally “cracked the code,” promising a body of wor,k saying:

“I just cracked the code on what I really want to do for my next body of work. I am actually feeling really good about this. I know I kept saying this over the years.”

If this latest tease is anything to go by, the wait for ‘R9’ may finally be nearing its end.
