How much longer will the Navy be left high and dry? It’s starting to feel like the boy who cried wolf has nothing on the billionaire who cried R9 . Rihanna hasn’t dropped an album since 2016’s Anti . Instead, she’s given birth to two kids — plus a Fenty empire that sells us makeup, lingerie, skincare, and, most recently, hair products .
Maybe fans and reporters are trying to emulate her entrepreneurial spirit, because they’ve been standing on business and consistently begging for updates on her allegedly upcoming ninth album. Is she finally ready to rih-visit her music career, or will the Navy be kept on deck forever? Below, a timeline of Rihanna’s said about R9 (and R10 !), including her latest hint that she’s “starting over” with her next album and is finally “prepared” to head back into the studio. December 2018: A fan asks Rihanna on Instagram when her album is dropping.
