*Rihanna is once again at the center of retirement speculation, igniting discussions amongst fans after her recent appearance in Barbados.
“Music opened doors for me, but the Good Lord has more elaborate plans for me,” the multi-talented singer-songwriter hinted during a heartfelt speech at a Fenty Beauty event
This statement has left fans pondering whether the Barbadian icon may be moving away from music to focus on her other passions.
While addressing attendees, Rihanna emphasized the impact her platform has had on her ability to explore various avenues outside of traditional music.
She expressed gratitude for her ability to create projects that resonate with her true passions, stating that her work with Fenty feels more like a calling than a job.
“Creating in this way feels organic and sincere,” she added, much to the delight of her supporters.
Since her electrifying Super Bowl performance in early 2023, where she famously revealed her pregnancy with her second child, the global sensation has taken a noticeable step back from the music scene. Apart from a lucrative performance at a lavish pre-wedding celebration in India, fans have had little to hold onto in terms of new music releases, TMZ notes.
With no albums published in the last eight years, speculation about Rihanna stepping away from the recording studio is growing.
Despite the chatter regarding her potential retirement, Rihanna – who is rumored to be pregnant for a third time – has continued to focus her energies on her thriving business empire. With an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion, she is one of the richest musicians in the world, thanks in large part to her groundbreaking Fenty Beauty line. Launched in 2017, Fenty Beauty quickly gained acclaim for its inclusiveness and diversity, solidifying Rihanna’s status as a business mogul.
As she showcases her products on social media—recently posting a playful clip promoting Butta Drop body cream—it’s clear that Rihanna’s entrepreneurial spirit remains strong. However, fans eagerly awaiting new music may need to embrace the uncertainty, as Rihanna suggests that her current path may lie in a different direction, guided by a higher calling. With no official statements on retirement, fans are left to speculate and hope for the best while sending up prayers for new music.
