Rihanna’s fans have been begging her to release more music, but now the Fenty businesswoman has hinted her singing days are over… So has Rihanna retired from music?

Rihanna does it all but releasing new music has become a bit of a joke in his fandom. The “Umbrella” singer has gone on to launch numerous businesses, including her lingerie line Savage

Recently, the mother of two opened up about wanting to have more babies and all her fans had to say was basically, “get out of the bedroom and into the studio!”

After a long hiatus from music and entertainment, Rihanna shocked her fans when she came to India to perform at a pre-wedding gala for the son of India’s richest man in March 2024.

I mean, if anything was going to make you quit music, it would be a check from a billionaire, right?

Fans were hoping that this performance wasn’t just a one-off and that it was the start of a RiRi resurgence, but now it really doesn’t look like that…

Has Rihanna quit music?

In June 2024, Rihanna was spotted in New York wearing a graphic t-shirt that read “I’m Retired,” but she hasn’t actually confirmed that she’s quit music for good.

Now we know she’s still working, working, working, because she was seen in the shirt just days after announcing her new Fenty Hair product line, so of course fans are seeing this as a sign that ‘she officially hung it up. music hat, as heartbreaking as that is.

His fans have mixed emotions about this and are turning to X to share their feelings. One said: “To mature is to realize that Rihanna will never make an album again.”

But others just said, “Why does she hate us” and “oh, we’ll never have another album.” Some fans talked about her huge net worth, saying, “If I was a billionaire, I’d quit too,” and this was quickly countered with calls such as: “Everyone is boycotting Fenty, so she’s poor and needs to release an album PLEASE.”

Naturally, many people are in denial, “‘I’m retired’ NEW SINGLE FROM HIS NEW ALBUM COMING OMG” he wrote. His fans are really going through the stages of grief right now…

The rest of the t-shirt said, “This is as dressy as it gets.” We’d like to say that RiRi had no idea how much of a splash she’d make with this outfit, but we all know she’s online – she knew what she was doing.

But is she just playing? Until R9 is confirmed, we’ll never know.
