Rihanna considers retiring has raised concern among fans after a recent speech she made at the Fenty Beauty event in her home country of Barbados. In her speech, Rihanna admitted that while music helped build her fame and opened many doors, God might have other plans for her future. This statement sparked worries that Rihanna might not complete her highly anticipated ninth album, and in fact, she may never release new music again.
Although Rihanna has been out of the music scene for a while, she still remains a powerful force in the industry. Her appearance at the Super Bowl 2023 was the last time she performed publicly as a singer, and her performance quickly became a hot topic of discussion on social media. From singing her biggest hits to revealing her pregnancy, everything she did attracted attention.
However, Rihanna has not released a new album in 8 years. Earlier this year, she caused a stir when she wore a T-shirt with the words “I’m Retired” printed on the front, which led many to misunderstand her intentions of retirement.
Rihanna considers retiring because she is currently focusing on her Fenty Beauty brand, along with other ventures in the beauty and fashion industries. She has also openly stated that she enjoys the creative process in these fields.
While many fans have expressed disappointment and anger over the possibility of Rihanna stepping away from music, others have urged that she be respected for her decision. One fan commented: “We all love Rihanna, but we need to respect her decision. She said she’s done with music and now pursuing other projects. I admire her for stepping away while she’s at the top.”
At present, Rihanna’s future is unclear. However, in recent statements, she reassured fans that she will return with a new album. She also denied rumors of retiring related to the T-shirt that caused confusion earlier.
