Back in June, Rihanna scared her music fans when she wore a shirt dress emblazoned with the words " I'm Retired " during an outing in New York City. "This is as dressed-up as I get" was written underneath the inflammatory statement. The "Sledgehammer" singer's devotees were so upset, in fact, that she gave an interview to dispel the rumors.

Rih’s last album, Anti, was released in 2016 and featured hits like “Work” and “Love on the Brain.” She initially announced plans for a reggae-inspired album in 2018 in a Vogue cover story , with Jamaican producers reportedly submitting hundreds of tracks . The album, often referred to as R9 by fans, has yet to be released.

I was able to create in ways that were very sincere and genuine, organic, and authentic to the things that I love. So, it doesn’t even feel like a job,” Rihanna said.

The Barbadian singer, entrepreneur, and fashion mogul made the comments during a speech at a Fenty Beauty event held in her home country of Barbados.
