Rihanna gives update on new music
The singer responded to inquiries from impatient fans on Instagram.
It’s been over two years since Rihanna released ANTi, but she hasn’t stayed out of the limelight. She was Spotify’s most-streamed female of 2017 despite not releasing any solo music and only appearing as a guest on tracks from Future, DJ Khaled, Kendrick Lamar, and N.E.R.D., and Apple Music’s most-streamed woman, too.
Months ago, we chronicled the journey to her upcoming album, dubbed “#R9” by waiting fans, but there haven’t been many updates since. Until now.
While on Instagram trying to promote her upcoming lingerie line yesterday, a follower left a comment on Rihanna’s post clarifying what she really needs from the singer: “We want fenty MUSIC.”
Riri responded, promising, “She coming, sis!”
And when a second fan asked, “Did u forget about your music career?,” Rihanna doubled-down, rhetorically asking, “HOW! Y’all would never let me Lolol.”
