One user wrote, “Y’all are the ones that’s been living in delusion thinking she’s ever going to put out an album again, she’s been done with the music for a long time now.”
“At this point I start to believe that she never liked music THAT much that she had to become a singer. She even said she wanted to be a psychologist in the first place and create businesses. F**k Jay Z and his roc nation,” wrote another.
A third user commented, “She said cherish the past cause it ain’t happening.”
Another user wrote, “Rihanna really shouldn’t release any more music, Anti was the perfect album to leave off on and nothing she puts out now will satisfy yall and will be heavily criticized.”
“I feel like there is something very obvious with Rihanna and her music that most people are missing,” shared another.
Until last month, Rihanna was the richest female musician with a net worth of $1.4 billion, which she had amassed mainly from her Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty brands.
Last month, Taylor Swift surpassed her with a total net worth of $1.6 billion.
