Rihanna recently sparked speculation about her possible retirement from music during an appearance in Barbados on Thursday, November 7.
At the Fenty Beauty event, the globally renowned singer shared heartfelt reflections on her career, revealing that although her music has brought her recognition, “God has plans beyond her.” beyond the art form” for her.
Speaking passionately, Rihanna credits music with creating opportunities that have allowed her to explore other areas of business that are close to her heart. “Music opened doors for me, but the good Lord had more complicated plans for me,” she said. She emphasizes that her work with Fenty Beauty feels authentic and meaningful, allowing her to create in a way that aligns with her passions.
“It doesn’t even feel like a job,” she said, expressing her pride in bringing the brand to her hometown.
Since her widely popular performance at the 2023 Super Bowl, where she revealed she was pregnant for the second time, the 36-year-old has kept a low profile in the music industry. While performing at a high-profile pre-wedding event in India earlier this year, she hadn’t released a new track in eight years – a well-known fact to her die-hard fans.
Instead of music, Rihanna focuses intently on her business endeavors. Recently, the “Umbrella” singer advertised her Butta Drop body lotion in a clip on social networks. However, fans are now questioning whether Rihanna may officially leave the studio following her comments and lengthy hiatus.
Despite speculation, Rihanna has yet to confirm or deny her retirement from music. Fans looking forward to the new album may need to “send some prayers” as the singer hinted that her journey may be heading in a new direction. Rihanna’s team has yet to release an official statement, leaving her followers wondering what will happen next for the multi-talented star.
