The pop queen played DJ at her hometown Barbados’ Fenty event, when she dropped a bombshell statement on what her plans for retirement are. Rihanna has often teased the idea of quitting music, much to fans’ dismay and her latest statement has sent fans spiraling again.

“Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me,” she said, “I was able to create in other ways that were very sincere, genuine, organic and authentic to the things that I love so it doesn’t even feel like a job. But when you bring it home, I can express to you guys what this day means for me to be able to celebrate with the people that deserve it the most.”

While August 2023 saw the birth of Riot Rose. The singer has released two songs for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, “Born Again” and “Lift Me Up,” even though her last album, ANTI, was released eight years ago.
