It really wasn’t that hard to release something that would quench the thirst of your fans since 2017. She could easily do a feature or release a couple standalone singles from her scrapped R9 recordings when she knew the album (or anything else we’ve been waiting for) was gonna take years longer. It’s even more frustrating when she announces something after all this time and gets us hyped for it to be “Believe It” or “Lift Me Up” Literally all she had to do to satisfy most of us would be collaborating with Rocky on a song like LSD, Sundress etc. Minimum effort. Collab with your hubby. Do it at home even. And then dip. But we don’t deserve I guess drama?¿ Am I the drama¿? I dont think I'm the drama¿? I get your frustation, I really do. But I know she released in 11 years what other release in a whole lifetime, and why she needed to stop, and why now it's an insufferable wait for us. 1

I do be like that🤪 I’m never denying that she was one of the, if not the most hardworking artist out there. But to me nothing justifies the mess that came after 2019. Do you have to postpone the album? Just tell us. Do you wanna keep adding stuff to the documentary? Just be like oh we still shooting. Do you not wanna ruin the album hype by releasing singles? Then don’t release songs that even your fanbase doesn’t wanna listen to. Even that comment she made to Vogue about how it would be crazy if she didn’t release in 2023 is pissing me off so bad now. Cause everyone assumed 2024 would be the year if it couldn’t be last year bc of the pregnancy. But 2024 is here now and first time she’s asked about new music she tries to dodge the questions trying to link new music to touring and that. It’s so obvious that it’s gonna be another year of “Everything's gonna hit yall all at once” and “We wanna blow everything up once there’s new music” and “I’m always exploring with music” Honestly I see right through her and I’m telling you, she’s clueless as ever. I’m sure that Roc Nation meeting last month was held bc they also wanted answers from her. The only genuine thing she’s done during this hiatus was when she talked about the pressure around releasing a follow up to Anti after all this time, which I appreciated.

And the fact that people are on here saying the Navy doesn't exist when the Navy has NEVER been a large fanbase, her music has always been successful by the GP loving the songs not a quick lil first week number one driven exclusively by a stan base. Honestly she should wait another year to release because she's very close to breaking the records of legends, and that comes with backlash. This hiatus has done wonders for her credibility as an artist, and has shown that Pop is boring without the Queen.

rihannafan Posted January 18 Posted January 18 In other news, I remember when there were insiders in 2011 describing the songs on TTT and one of them called WHYB a progesssive dance song. When the song came out, many people, included Navy, made fun of that claiming it was dated on arrival. They were so wrong but it still sounds so good to this day and Rihanna's VOCAL on it is timeless. The production is so punchy and so is her delivery. It's a shame because Right Now had the potential to be as good, but it wasn't. 3 1
EliteNaviShit Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I still can’t believe Skims is constantly serving these gorgeous campaigns with proper celebrities, athletes etc while we get Shein level tacky photoshoots of Rihanna and a bunch of nobodies for SavageX. Their feed gives me migraines… Like girl this your only job now can you do better pls

The Skims feed is also boring as hell. 2
airplane Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) The way she doesn't give a **** about her brands anymore... what is she up to? What happened to the savage x show? Is she a fulltime mum now? I really hope she's cooking something great behind the scenes. In other news, this kept playing in my mind today: Edited January 18 by airplane 1

The Skims feed is also boring as hell. Skims is mostly good for people who don’t have the “perfect” body. It’s shapewear. Also what’s your point? You can be inclusive and still make quality business campaigns. Lana Del Rey has a huge audience, has never done anything like this AND has a very realistic body. It’s very interesting. Rihanna could book all these people for SxF about a couple years ago but I doubt anyone would like to be on it now. They do it for Skims cause they don’t think it’s beneath them. Anyway… I just think they need a better creative director or something. Or else they gon be out of business when Skims steps into her sexy sexy lingerie bag properly.
airplane Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) i mean.. rare beauty was already stomping on fenty but selena’s public image is in the mud now. Skims is also doing great but Savage X don’t seem concerned which means that it’s already well established and doesn’t need any promo campaigns? I know nothing about makeup or lingerie but this is what i’ve gathered from twitter discourse. I also love how twitter keeps spreading lies about Savage X’s ethical standards and fenty corp never cares to set the record straight Idk what she’s upto lately but i can sense a major overhaul coming. I hope FENTY returns properly. Edited January 18 by airplane

She's an artist, she's not gonna release scrapped songs that she doesn't even like just to 'satisfy most of her fans' ...the same fans that end up saying those songs 'should not have had seen the light of day' And you're complaining that she dropped a solo single, music video, performed it live at the Oscars... over a quick feature with Rocky ? I- 1
rihannafan Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Let's be clear, She does owe us something. Clarity and honesty 5

It's a much more established brand than Rare Beauty. Also Savage targets a very different audience than Skims so I'm not sure why there's a comparison Edited January 19 by RihRihGirrrl 1

Clarity and honesty Yeah this is what I'm saying, she needs to be clear and honest what's up with her music. If she wants to wait a little bit longer to release a new album it's okay, we're good in it to wait for R9 because we're still waiting. And we as her navy learned that really well. I still can't believe that nearly 8 years are gone when ANTI was released. So much time has gone and so much happened in that time. Maybe 2024 is the year where R9 gets to be released? But for sure, Rihanna needs to be honest, something is very off about her, something must have happened in the production. All I want from her is like you've said: Clarity and Honesty...
airplane Posted January 19 Posted January 19 (edited) honestly… nothing about an album being assembled from a writing camp factory sounds artistic to me. i feel like she has no clear vision. if she’s actually aiming for something artsy, it’s gonna take A LOT of time (considering she just started very recently coupled with her indecisiveness lately). Like what are the chances of **** landing in the bin again like the songs she recorded from before 2020 for a potential 9th album…? She needs to get in with some good producers and writers and create an album from scratch, instead of relying on people to send her stuff (which will most likely end up in the bin) Edited January 19 by airplane 1

WHYB sounds ike 2010, which is bizarre for Rihanna who makes timeless music. Right Now would chart today and the lyrics are so motivational, it's clearly the better song. 1
