“She’ll press play on the live show once she’s ready to go back to work and has two albums’ worth of material to release once she’s back.”
Although the Bajan beauty and former Super Bowl headliner hasn’t dropped a new album since 2016’s ANTI, she continues to break records. In June, Rihanna became the first female artist to have 10 songs reach a billion streams each on Spotify.

“Oh my God, it’s legendary,” she said of her first nine months as a mother. “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever.
“You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far because … because it doesn’t matter.”
