Rihanna was once a global music sensation who racked up Billboard #1s and toured the globe. These days, the multimillionaire apparel and cosmetics magnate is concentrating on growing his business and spending time with lover and baby daddy A$AP Rocky. Does Rihana’s newborn motherhood mean fans will have to wait even longer for new music from the mogul now that she has added ‘mommy’ to her list of work titles? If Rihanna is intending to relocate her family to Barbados, fans may have to wait a little longer.
Rihanna’s fans did not receive any music from her since 2016. Her album “Anti,” which has big singles including “Work,” “Needed Me,” and “Love On The Brain,” has subsequently become one of her most popular works. Pitchfork picked Anti as the #8 album of the decade. In 2016, the album was named Favorite Soul/R&B Album by Billboard, and in 2017, it was named Best R&B Album by the iHeart Music Awards. Some of her biggest non-album hits preceded the project, including “FourFiveSeconds,” which featured Kanye West and Paul McCarthy, and “B**** Better Have My Money.”
Rihanna moved her emphasis to her apparel business Savage x Fenty shortly after the project was released. Rihanna swiftly established herself as a go-to for items that embrace variety and adaptability when the size-inclusive company grabbed the fashion world by storm. She channelled this passion into her make-up and skincare products, producing a foundation line that caters to complexions that were previously unrepresented in the beauty industry.
Rihanna had even negotiated a major contract with LVMH to launch a high-end fashion brand. Unfortunately, the epidemic put an end to these ambitions, but she nevertheless became a billionaire in 2022, with an estimated $550 million in earnings from her association with the French luxury conglomerate, making her the world’s wealthiest female artist. Rihanna made her relationship with boyfriend A$AP Rocky public in 2020, and the couple revealed in the winter that they were expecting their first child together.
Rihanna flaunted her baby bulge in the most fashionable way possible. She and A$AP Rocky posed for the camera under the 1 subway on 125th Street in Harlem, wearing edgy streetwear. Rihanna was dressed in a long pink puffer coat that was open at the waist and ornamented with chains and rosaries around her neck. “How the gang pulled up to black history month,” he said on Instagram on the second day of black history month. The singer then spent the rest of her pregnancy in classic Rihanna style, walking the red carpet and walking the runways in a slew of belly-baring costumes that went viral almost immediately.
Meanwhile, baby daddy A$AP Rocky was struggling with legal troubles behind the scenes. Rocky was detained at LAX on the day of his and Rihanna’s baby shower earlier this month. Rocky was reportedly engaged in a sh-ot-ing in November of 2021, where he reportedly drew a g-n on a friend. ASAP Rocky is believed to have fled the site of the sh-ot-ing quickly after it occurred.
Rocky was apprehended while returning home from a trip with Rihanna after a friend filed claims. The couple had no choice but to reschedule their shower.
On May 13th, 2022, Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their baby son. Fans fear that the new mom’s desire to be very hands-on and active would derail aspirations for new music permanently if she truly decides to take time off to be a stay-at-home mother. Fans had been waiting nearly six years for another Rihanna album and expected it to be released soon after she gave birth. The vocalist, on the other hand, may put the album on wait for even longer. In April, Rihanna and Rocky travelled to Barbados for a few days before returning to the United States. Many people expected the baby to be born there. However, it appears that the couple wants to raise their child there.
A$AP Rocky is also of Barbadian descent, and the two have Barbadian relatives. They apparently returned to Los Angeles merely for the birth and to wind up some loose ends before returning to the Caribbean forever. Rihanna bought a $13 million mansion in 2013, which she has completely staffed and operating, simply waiting for her to move in. Rihanna has been rumoured to be working on new songs for several years. She was said to desire to perform a reggae-soul project influenced by Bob Marley at one time. According to industry sources, she was even collaborating on the project with certain Marleys.
Rihanna revealed on the red carpet last year that she had been enjoying being creative with her new songs and that her next album will be unpredictable. It’s been dubbed #R9 by fans, who learned more about it via her Vogue cover story earlier this month, in which she announced she’d be taking a distinct and unique approach to the release. “I think this approach is a lot better for me.” It’s genuine, it’ll be enjoyable for me, and it relieves a lot of the strain.”
Pharell and The Dream are also speculated to be producers on the record. Billboard published an article in 2019 detailing the five things people want Rihanna to do on her next album, which included her returning to her reggae/dancehall origins, a song with CupcaKKe, politically charged music, and a big ballet converted into a visual album. Rihanna is yet to announce a release date for her new album as of today.
