So according to another source she is releasing two albums, it's unclear if it's a double-CD a la Scorpion but I'd prefer if it was her Future/HNDRXX moment I'm ready for ~30 new Rihanna tracks to rule my whole life  |

She should release the albums a week apart but have the first single/hit come from the second release just because.

I was hoping that Rihanna would have released a single much earlier so that she could have had greater chances of being the “Hot 100 Artist of the Decade”.
In terms of weeks at number one this decade, Drake is ahead of Rihanna by 8 weeks. She could have possibly surpassed that earlier this year, and maybe even extended it, but alas.
Even though Rihanna has more number one singles than Drake this decade, and the most of all acts, that doesn’t matter because the “most weeks at number one factor” is what is most important via. Billboard rules.
😞😞😞
It’s already the week of 9/12, the Decade-End cut off is in 11 weeks. It’s too late now, unless she released within the next two weeks and the single is a number one hit.
Luckily, she’s the biggest radio artist this decade and most likely number one among Female streaming acts.

The reviews for her “SAVAGExFENTY” show have been INSANE!
My goodness.
She’s such a damn legend!

All the headlines skulldragging Victoria's Secret.  The media is being absolutely BRUTAL while praising how amazing and groundbreaking Rih's show was. |

I am SCREAMING at the fashion/general media DRAGGING Victoria Secrets.
Rihanna is truly a revolutionary.

A few outlets were already pointing out that Fenty was coming for Vicky's crown even before the show so I'm not at all surprised that they're going all the way in now. Blood is in the water and VS scrapping their show this year due to last year's low ratings (meaning the FxS show is indeed THE fashion show of the year) only heightened the sharks' sense of smell.

She obviously doesn't care about the "Artist of the Decade" award or whatever. She's in a totally different headspace. Sucks as a Navy but she's making history so we can't be mad at that. The music will come when it comes.

I love her even when she's actively depriving us of new music.

I miss the days when she dropped an album a year. So many criticized her for it and look at what’s going on now...

I honestly feel like her passion and focus isn't on music anymore and she's struggling to come up with strong material. She used to knock out albums while promoting the previous album back then. I'm happy she's found her true passion! She carved out a space for herself in fashion and doing what no one else is.

Her album is coming this year!
Her single is coming soon!
Her passion is STILL in music; she’s said so multiple time and has even confirmed that in several magazine interviews this year.
Ya’ll need to stop moaning and groaning and relax. Like... TF!
I don’t think you realise how much of a troll Rihanna actually is.

I don’t where stans/fans like you find the narrative that says she isn’t passionate about music or that it’s no longer her “true” passion. Since when can’t an individual be successful at multiple things? Just because she’s put her focus on her fashion empire these past two years that doesn’t mean that she’s lost her passion and drive for music. This is the same Woman who released single after single, album after album between 2005-2015/2016. Her album is coming this year and she’s confirmed it three times. R9 will slay! |

I mean I'm sure R9 will be at the very least a decent record, but music doesn't even make that much money for her unless she goes on tour (which would take a lot of time from her other businesses). It makes financial sense! The bitch is getting richer by the minute because she's smart! I can see why the album is not a priority for her at the moment... that doesn't mean I'm not tired of spinning ANTI because there's nothing newer.

People using the 2005-2012 years as proof of how passionate she still is about music should think twice. She was simply collecting her money as quickly as possible so as she'd be able to invest in other businesses in the future and voila! Also, it's not like the first 7 albums even compare to the quality she served on Anti for the reason that she wasn't as involved as she was with the latter + her name didn't hold the same power it holds today so she churned out album after album to fully establish herself and afford a break if she wanted to. I don't doubt that she still loves her music career but it's not her main focus for the moment based on facts. That doesn't mean that once she gets serious about dropping an album she won't give it her all though because now she's making music for herself and is a fully realised artist, not to fulfill a contract or anything else that comes with being a commercially viable popstar.

Bitch has no financial incentive to make any albums right now. Her influence is much bigger on fashion than music. I'm certain she can get a couple #1s but I fully expect when this album drops she'll do the bare minimum for the Navy and get back to Fenty. |

Adele takes years between albums and people don’t question her love for music.
Few if any artist hit their 30s and still release albums frequently.

Adele never released albums annually nor did she start an entirely unrelated business venture. Situational awareness. Adele is not Rihanna. |

She looks amazing. They even got her to talk about music on the red carpet, theres a video of her saying she wants to collaborate with Lizzo and Cardi B. 🔥 edit: http://instagram.com/p/B2VmbFRj06y |

Yep, that's deffo a bump when catching side views in pics or vids. Kind of amazed not one interviewer asked her about it (or for that matter, that no one noticed at the Fenty show the night prior) but maybe in person it wasn't immediately noticeable?
Re: the wine, she only took a quick sip, and the US tends to have a stricter stance on drinking small amounts of alcohol while pregnant than some other countries do. Maybe Rihanna has the latter opinion on it.

Could be bloating or bad angles. I just edited my above post, but yeah, the one thing that is making me have second thoughts is that no one in commented on it in person (but then it's Rihanna so who would be bold enough to ask lol) and she herself didn't seem to be trying to reveal anything. I also considered weight gain, but Rih has gained weight in the past and it went to her booty and thighs rather than her stomach. The shape looks too perfectly rounded to just be bloat...leave it to Rihanna to turn even a little belly bump into a mystery. |
