The singer, who is now a mom of two, released her last album, Anti, in 2016, which features “Work,” “Needed Me,” and “Kiss It Better.” Throughout her career, she has won 9 Grammy awards, including her first award for “Umbrella,” and her most recent award for “Loyalty.”
Since taking a break from music, Rihanna has focused on other ventures. She’s founded multiple businesses including Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, which have allowed her to reach billionaire status.
In January 2022, it was revealed the artist was expecting her first child with her partner, A$AP Rocky, after she debuted her baby bump in viral photos. Her first son, RZA, was born on May 13, 2022, and fans have enjoyed watching her blossom into a mother. Rihanna then performed at the 2023 Superbowl halftime show, where she revealed her second pregnancy with her son, Riot Rose.
Following her success with her businesses and her entrance into motherhood, some Rihanna fans were beginning to lose hope that she would ever make more music.
We had our time with Rihanna the musician and that time is over. Please accept the fact that she don't want to make music no more outside of soundtracks. And she barely wants to do that. She's prioritizing motherhood.

While some fans were giving up, others were patiently waiting for her to re-enter the music scene and dominate it like she used to with her multiple hit songs, including “Love on the Brain,” Diamonds,” and “Pon De Replay.”
Don’t let the focus on motherhood and her business empires fool you — Rihanna definitely has not forgotten that she’s one of the biggest music artists of all time, and neither should fans.https://t.co/KOYm6z4EiC

In 2022, she blessed her fans with her latest song “Lift Me Up” which was made for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack. “Lift Me Up” went on to receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song in 2023.
The beauty mogul last updated fans on her album in December 2023 while promoting her collaboration at a Fenty X Puma event. She joked with interviewers, “I mean, I can’t tell you everything, girl. It’s giving crystal ball.”
Today, Rihanna celebrates her 36 birthday. While it is unclear when she will be releasing new music, fans are anxious to hear her new work. Stream Rihanna’s discography on all streaming platforms.
