Heroin can be snorted too. So, you're probably right. But yeah, it does want coke for sure...every day. #BBHMC
Edit: I see your quick edit there.

Oh, she "basing" now? That reply sounds like someone in the throes of coke-fueled aggro behavior, tbh.

eh that's a publicity stunt if I ever saw one. For one, she's not exactly "snorting" in the video so she can't get in serious trouble and 2)How exactly did the video "leaked" when is clearly a video of her own camp/friends taking video selfies. Her and her friends probably re-watched the video and were like oh shit you look like you're snorting some sh!t...someone quick, leak it yeah it'll be controversial.
Gurl please. I see you Miss Good Girl Gone Bad...

Who cares if Rihanna snorts coke. Lots of everyday people do so why can't Rihanna?! Let the girl sniff a bit and live!

Exactly. Bruno got busted for coke in Vegas a few years back and no one bats an eye.

I don't think drug use is something to take lightly or make fun of, I have quite a few friends and relatives in recovery. Rihanna is very open with her use of marijuana and alcohol, but I wish she didn't broadcast it so much.

Whether or not she was doing in that video, there is no doubt in my mind that Rihanna plays around with nose candy. If you still think otherwise after all these years I just...

I don't care to assume what someone "supposedly" does. It's not my business and it's a waste of time and energy as a topic.

Is she ever going to announce this album? Do we even have an approximate release date at this point?

They've done a terrible job with the rollout for this album, so far. The album needed to be released like yesterday. And I don't see the point in releasing "Bitch Better Have My Money" when they could have just sent "American Oxygen" to all formats.

It seems that they're not going with the format that they've been consistent with. I think it's cool that the label is switching things up than have that "automatic hit", then follow up with another "automatic second hit". She has way more control now with things, and it most likely will work out in her favor.

Questions for those who follow Rihanna religiously: was it confirmed that she worked with Kiesza on this album? I ask because I want to hear Rihanna doing some deep house, though I can hardly envision Boss Kanye approving it. (I can think of people better than Kiesza to help her deliver it anyway but that's another story...)
And isn't there definitely a song sampling Florence + The Machine's "If Only For A Night" AKA their one great song?? I can't imagine how that would not be catchy and am beginning to wonder if it exists considering what's been released ahead of it.

I can't imagine how that would not be catchy and am beginning to wonder if it exists considering what's been released ahead of it. Kiesza said in an interview that she had written songs for Rihanna, but we are not sure if any of them are going to end up on R8. One of the songs was definitely "Cannonball" for the Home soundtrack. At first, Rihanna was supposed to do a concept album, singing 12 songs, but that idea was eventually scrapped and only an EP was made as the soundtrack. As a result, not all tracks supposedly originally meant for Rihanna ended up being recorded by her. Therefore, Kiesza ended up doing "Cannonball". Yes, the song is called "A Night" and it samples "Only If For A Night". So far we've only heard what seems to be the hook of the song with a remixed sample. Rihanna used that as the intro to her DIRECTV and March Madness concerts. :)

Definitely been an interesting unfolding of events thus far, but I'm always down for the ride with the ICON. :)

She has way more control now with things, and it most likely will work out in her favor. I mean, at this point it just seems like the label is releasing tracks to see what sticks and nothing really has. I wouldn't be surprised if the album is just on hold. I don't think they're "switching things up," I just think they're hoping one of these songs catches on. If they had a hit, they probably would have released it by now...or they're waiting to release it later so the album can finally drop. As for the coke allegations, who cares? really lol. Recreational drugs are so common.

I'm having a bit of trouble understanding this "nothing has really hit" theory. FFS may not have been a smash hit, but it was a hit nonetheless and BBHMM has already hit Top20 and is doing good for what it is. Only AO is struggling because of the Tidal exclusivity (hopefully they'll never do that again with future singles of hers).
Going by that logic, the album would've been released after FFS and it wasn't.

I think she's basically still in demo mode for it, and a lot of songs haven't really "stuck" except these ones we're getting (which I won't even be surprised to see omitted from the album if it's far enough down the line). Otherwise I think it would have launched off of FFS's heels because that was definitely a big enough success to launch the era with. At the very least we should have a title and projected release by now if it is close to finished.

There are no more rules in the music industry. Times are changing and established artists are taking more risks/different routes in releasing their music. We need to get out of expecting the typical album release campaign, it's not happening.

At the very least we should have a title and projected release by now if it is close to finished. Considering her track record, I find it hard to believe the album is still in "demo mode" or, at least, I'd like to believe that it isn't. But this is the problem: we know nothing about the album and that's annoying, lmao. I agree: we need a title or a release date, something to give us something to look forward to. Even if none of these songs are becoming smash hits, she can still have them on the album and she has shown that she can bounce back easily from flops and underperformers, so I'm not worried chart-wise. I'm mostly here for the music, though, so as long as I can bop to R8 (or whatever it ends up being called), I'll be happy, haha!

R8 should really just be the official album title at this point. There's something about it I actually like as an album title.
