Rihanna<\/a><\/strong> hasn\u2019t released an album in 10 years<\/a>, but that hasn\u2019t stopped her devoted fans, known as the Navy, from begging for it incessantly. From the looks of the superstar\u2019s social media post, they may be getting their wish sooner than they thought.<\/p>\n In the time since Rihanna dropped her chart-topping \u201cAnti\u201d album in 2016, she has become a billionaire, courtesy of her massively successful Fenty Beauty brand \u2014 but her fans have hoped that she would return to what made her a star, her music.<\/p>\n In an Instagram post<\/a> on Thursday, Feb. 26, Rihanna shared a day in her life lately, which to the surprise of her fans included some time at the recording studio.<\/p>\n \u201cI still have to go to the studio after this and I have to make a Mardi Gras costume for my son after the studio,\u201d she said as the video of her day went well until after 2 a.m. \u201cLongest day ever.\u201d<\/p>\n Rihanna told the sound engineers in the video, \u201cYesterday\u2019s price is not today\u2019s price.\u201d<\/p>\n MEGA<\/p>\n From revealing to Vogue<\/a> back in 2018 that her next album would be reggae to announcing two years later in 2020<\/a> that reggae would not be the album\u2019s focus after all, Rihanna has taken fans on a whirlwind as she has admittedly enjoyed teasing them<\/a> about the long-awaited project.<\/p>\n Speaking with Harper\u2019s Bazaar<\/a> in March 2025, the nine-time Grammy winner addressed releasing new music after such a long period away.<\/p>\n \u201cI think music is my freedom. I just came to that realization. I just cracked the code on what I really want to do for my next body of work. I am actually feeling really good about this. I know I kept saying this over the years,\u201d she told the outlet at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no genre now,\u201d Rihanna revealed about her next album. \u201cThat\u2019s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, \u2018No, it\u2019s not me. It\u2019s not right. It\u2019s not matching my growth. It\u2019s not matching my evolution. I can\u2019t do this. I can\u2019t stand by this. I can\u2019t perform this for a year on tour.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n She continued, noting that since her prolonged absence, she needs to ensure that her music is ground-breaking.<\/p>\n \u201cAfter a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The multi-platinum artist added: \u201cI know it\u2019s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it\u2019s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It\u2019s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I\u2019ve finally cracked it, girl!\u201d<\/p>\n KCS Presse \/ MEGA<\/p>\n Since \u201cAnti\u201d topped the charts, Rihanna has become a mother of three, welcoming first son RZA in 2022, second son Riot a year later in 2023, and her first daughter, Rocki, in September 2025.<\/p>\n She sent fans into a tailspin when she hinted earlier this year that a fourth baby could be on her very busy agenda.<\/p>\n Per Us Weekly<\/a>, earlier this month Rihanna gave a strong hint that she is not done adding to her family.<\/p>\n The singer-turned-mogul responded to a post by \u201cLove Island\u201d star Montana Rose that read: \u201cDeciding whether to get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026.\u201d Rihanna replied underneath the post writing, \u201cWait! So I\u2019m not crazy then? Bet!\u201d<\/p>\n While many fans were happy at the possibility of Riri becoming a mom again for the fourth time, there were others who expressed their disappointment because another pregnancy means a new album is once again put on hold.<\/p>\n MEGA<\/p>\n In an interview with Rihanna posted via X<\/a>, formerly known as Twitter, the singer spoke about some of her favorite looks from the Dior Spring\/Summer show during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, it was her comment about her post-baby curves that many moms likely related to.<\/p>\n \u201cFavorite look? That\u2019s impossible,\u201d Rihanna gushed about the designs. \u201cI wanted the coats, I wanted the dresses, I wanted the skirts with a little bump [at the stomach] \u2018cause I got a little pouch after having kids, so I\u2019d love that.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI loved the accessories \u2014 the bags, the shoes, the earrings \u2014 everything was perfectly made, super well done, super whimsical. Everything made me excited. It was a very thrilling show,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n Thecelebrityfinder\/MEGA<\/p>\n After releasing his new album \u201cDon\u2019t Be Dumb\u201d on January 16, Rihanna showed love to A$AP Rocky a few days later on January 25, when it was confirmed that the album reached number one on the Billboard 200 charts.<\/p>\n “Just me here to let y’all know my baby daddy got the NUMBER 1 ALBUM!!! Aaahhhhhh hah! DONT BE DUMB!!!” she wrote on X<\/a>, formerly known as Twitter.<\/p>\nRihanna Fans Perk Up After She\u2019s Seen Inside A Music Studio<\/h2>\n
