The performer of the hit “Umbrella” sat on a bench at a bus stop in front of a billboard for her brand Fenty Beauty.
I’m just waiting for the bus, she wrote in a playful caption.
In the video, Rihanna wore a white top and black pants, as well as a lime-green scarf with a large pouf on the end. The video was filmed to the song “MMM Instrumental Remake” by musician Swift On Demand. Fans expressed their admiration for the star’s sense of humor in the comments, but especially loyal fans, who, of course, recalled Rihanna’s recent comments hinting at her retirement from music.
This is good, but when will there be new music? – wrote a fan.
Last week, the singer DJed a rousing set to celebrate the opening of a new Fenty Beauty store on her home island of Barbados.
My music got everyone’s attention, but God had other plans for me,” she told the crowd.
Considering that there hasn’t been a new album from the Queen of Pop in eight years, the statement fueled fans’ fears that Rihanna will never finish her long-awaited ninth album, and may never release new music again. Many took to social media to express their displeasure, suggesting that work on her next studio album appears to have stalled. Earlier this summer, the singer was spotted wearing a T-shirt that read “I’m Retired,”.
Riri didn’t directly state that she was retiring from music. In fact, she denied that there was any subtext to her T-shirt, noting that the simple outfit was “the only thing I could afford,” a reference to her lack of time as a mother of two. Despite this, Rihanna is very focused on growing her Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty clothing line, and has consistently noted that she enjoys the creative process.
