in For eight years, fans have waited and waited for Rihanna, 36, to release a new album, but earlier in June, hope was dashed for many.
The star was then seen wearing a T-shirt that read: “I am retired”, which means I am retired in Norwegian, and many people interpreted this to mean that the artist's ninth studio album would never see the light of day. .
He fled alone to Italy
“When I saw Rihanna's 'I'm retired' T-shirt I felt a little sad,” one of her fans wrote on Channel X. According to page 6.
Another wrote: “Never get an album from a retired queen.”
The shirt spread on social media. One of the photos uploaded to X It got up to ten million views and several thousand shares and comments from fans who feared that the artist had already quit.
But now Rihanna is responding to the rumours.
“People brought up the word ‘retired.’ They’re just like, ‘We’re not going to have an album now!’ Nobody read the second sentence, she said something like, ‘I don’t wear any more than this,’” she adds. Entertainment tonight.
The picture says it all
In other words, the t-shirt was just a t-shirt, and Rihanna reassured fans that she was clearly “recorded” and hadn't shelved her music forever.
– I've been working on the album for so long that I've put everything aside, but now I'm ready to get back into the studio. I'm about to start – give me a minute!
Fortunately, the 36-year-old singer won't be starting with a completely new leaf, but will instead be reviewing some songs she's already recorded.
– Yes, I'm going to start over, but I don't want to neglect the songs I have, so I want to go back and listen with fresh ears – with my new perspective – and then see what's still relevant and what I'm still in love with.
Accusing an ex of abuse
Rihanna has long frustrated and angered fans with the unnaturally long wait for her ninth album. The singer was once known for her frequent releases, releasing seven albums between 2005 and 2012. Her last album, “Anti,” came out in 2016.
However, she has not completely stepped away from music since then, appearing on several songs in 2017, including Kendrick Lamar's “Loyalty” and DJ Khaled's “Wild Thoughts”, as well as two songs from the 2023 film “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Forbes writes.
So far, Rihanna has not released any songs from her upcoming album, “R9,” as fans are calling it. But the artist admitted in an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2020 She likes to annoy her fans with long waits.
