Get ready, Rihanna Navy — the songstress has something extraordinary in the works for you. As per sources, the Grammy-winning artist is gearing up for a global tour in 2024/2025 after reaching an agreement with Live Nation, and she also has plans to unveil fresh music, as reported by ET.
It has been twelve months since Rihanna dropped her Academy Award-nominated track, “Lift Me Up,” featured on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, which marked her first solo release in six years. While she has made guest appearances on various tracks, the 35-year-old musician hasn’t put out a full album since 2016.
Being occupied with her expanding family, the founder of FENTY Beauty understandably had her hands full: she and rapper A$AP Rocky welcomed their first child, RZA Athelston Mayers, in May 2022 and introduced their newest bundle of joy, Riot Rose Mayers, just last month.
According to an ET insider, Rihanna and A$AP are relishing parenthood as a family of four. “They’ve got their hands full,” remarked the source, emphasizing that both parents are deeply involved in caring for their children.
Earlier this year, Rihanna pleasantly surprised fans with news of her second pregnancy during the halftime show of Super Bowl LVII, a moment that resonated with admirers worldwide. A source close to the couple revealed, “Rihanna absolutely loves being a mother, and it’s her greatest accomplishment. She and A$AP have always wanted to expand their family and have another child together.”
Despite their hectic schedules, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky consistently show unwavering support for each other and their family. “They’re thrilled about expanding their family and are incredibly united in their approach to parenting,” the source commented previously. “They enjoy each other’s company immensely and are deeply in love. Their connection was already special, and co-parenting has only strengthened their bond.”
As she embraces her new role as a mother to two boys, it appears Rihanna is ready to refocus on her music career. Recently, the singer stepped down from her position as CEO of Savage X Fenty, the lingerie brand she co-founded with LVMH.
Reflecting on the impact of Savage X Fenty on the industry over the past five years, Rihanna, who launched the brand in 2018, expressed her gratitude in an interview with Vogue Business in June. “This is just the beginning for us, and we’re committed to expanding in ways that resonate with our consumers.”
Although Rihanna remains an executive chair for the company, Hillary Super, former CEO of Anthropologie Group, has taken over as CEO, according to reports. “I’m thrilled to welcome Hillary Super as our new CEO,” Rihanna remarked. “She’s a strong leader and is focused on taking the business to new heights.”
Fans have eagerly awaited new music from Rihanna since her halftime performance, and it seems the wait is finally over. While it remains uncertain whether Rihanna will release her highly anticipated ninth studio album, fans can expect new music from the singer in the upcoming year.
