Maybe she wants people to stop asking her for music while she’s making money.

That's disappointing. It's not like his raggedy ass will even add anything to her show aesthetically.

Nobody will care about this when R9 will drop Regarding Born Again, someone claims that it is being played on post credits and Marvel doesn't like to give away post credit scenes beforehand so it might be dropped when or after movie opens and be added to album digitally.

I may be the only person in the world who hasn't followed their case, do people hate only Johnny Depp or Amber too?

I hope "Lift Me Up" gets to #1. Then lead single in new year for album debuts at #1 and finally the second single dropped a week before the album debuting at #1. I want Rihanna to really go for the Mariah & Beatles records. She could do it quite easily by the end of the decade.
Fingers crossed she features on some big hits in the next couple years as well.

The majority are team Depp. "Team Depp" (as if it's a sports club) mainly consists of Barbz and right-wing extremists at best, lol (and Twitter bots and Depp-funded meme accounts):

My apologies, I’ll steer the thread back to Rihanna as Amber and Johnny have their own thread.
I’m getting Deja vu. I think LMU’s insane radio has her locked in for #1?.

Rih, time to drop them Vibranium skateboards or something to tie into BP. You’ll get the Navy AND the Marvel nerds to buy the single.

This is the same woman that went back to Chris Brown after the assault. She's a complicated woman. It's dissappointing, yes, but I still love her.

It's so funny because I literally could not give the slightest fuck about this so called controversy and yet there's (a very small subset of) people claiming they'll never listen to her again? Lol, okay.
The fact that she has collaborated with her former abuser that continues to show how shitty person he is time and time again not once but *twice* since the incident that sent her to the ER isn't what did it for ya, but this is?

Savage x Fenty was an unethical business already so I don't really care tbh, this just makes it even worse. There are no good billionaires and Rihanna is a perfect example. You don't hoard wealth by being good and treating people right.
This is a fast fashion brand with a scammy VIP subscription-based sales tactic and alleged child labor involvement, doing a fashion show on Amazon Prime (whose creator Bezos is currently being sued for allegedly not letting housekeepers at his mansion use bathrooms, leading them to have frequent UTIs).
As inclusive and diverse as the presentation of the show has been, including great performances and music, drag queens, disabled models, trans models, models of all sizes and races, the business of it all has always been problematic. Depp involvement ruins the show entirely for me—doesn't mean I won't listen to Rihanna bops at all (she can keep my $0.08 from Spotify) but probably skipping her tour. Thankfully "Lift Me Up" is a lullaby that I do not intend to stream ever again, which helps in this moment, tho.
What's next, DaBaby and Kanye as her Super Bowl Halftime guests?

So just as I thought…SB was just a big stage to promote her new business ventures lol.
She seems over the music industry, like a lot of the big artists of the 2010’s are and it’s understandable why. I’ll just enjoy the SB for what it is then and not expect an album ever 😂😭.

I mean if it's a medley of her hits,(or just simply the SuperBowl) and a new single after, I'd be okay with that tbh.
OR
She could be trolling us as usual.

If she does the Superbowl without releasing a new album shortly before or after, it will be one of the biggest trolls in music history. And all I can do is sit back and admire it.

Yeah weren't people just vehemently ANTI-Amber.....now suddenly....they are anti Rihanna for being pro Depp? Make it make sense. Oh yeah. People are fickle af. Well, it's likely they aren't the same people. There was real divide in terms of the Heard/Depp trial, and more so the reality is both of them deserve blame for the situation. Regardless by no means did Depp come out of that looking great, and more so you'd need to prove the same people criticizing Rihanna for this are the same ones who were against Amber before. If she does the Superbowl without releasing a new album shortly before or after, it will be one of the biggest trolls in music history. And all I can do is sit back and admire it. Lol right. At the same time, is the SB always tied to new albums? Last year was more of a 90s/00s throwback so it was its own thing. I don't know if J Lo and Shakira had new projects at the time, though both are past that period where, in general, people are clamoring for new music from them so I guess it's not the same. I don't think Maroon 5 had a new album when they did the show in 2019? I think Gaga and Coldplay had albums that were a few months old. So, it isn't necessarily uncommon for artists to do the halftime show without promoting new music, but of course since it's been so long since Rihanna released an album the expectation would be a bit different for her. It will feel like a troll to some, but here she is telling people months ahead to not expect it to be tied to a new album so at this point it shouldn't be an expectation.
