Rihanna has left her fans convinced she is retiring from music after a speech she gave at a Fenty Beauty event in Barbados.
The Bajan beauty, who has been trolling Trump supporters, announced that her music career made her famous and opened doors for her – but suggested that God now has other plans for her moving forward.
The speech has left fans scared that she has no plans to finish her highly anticipated ninth album and that she may even never release music again.
The last time fans saw Rihanna perform was her 2023 Super Bowl appearance and since then she has taken a step back from her music career.
One expressed their concerns on X writing: “Rihanna said God had plans for her elsewhere…WELP! She officially done fri y’all.”
A third said: “Rihanna really retired. We aren’t getting any new music.” A fourth social media user expressed their disappointment commenting: “Rihanna announcing her retirement Trump becoming president radical optimism and eternal sunshine getting snubbed I’m out.”
A fifth fan tried to placate others adding: “I know people are big fans, etc but gotta stop pressuring Rihanna for music. She’s fully saying she’s done with it and I admire that man, stop while she was on top and now evolved to do other things.”
Rihanna is yet to definitively announce any retirement from music and back in June she told fans she was going to start over on her work on a new album.
She also denied any meaning behind her “I’m Retired” t-shirt and said there was another line on it which read “This is as dressed up as I get,” which was more the point she was trying to make by wearing it.
