Rush Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Quote the source says “***** Better Have My Money” singer hasn’t yet committed to any touring projects for 2024.

Scott Borchetta Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 It was very obvious. LMU was a litmus test of sorts for her to determine whether it was worth it to come back to music, that song's reception made her decide against it. Her flopping now would only hurt her makeup sales and it's not like she has some extraordinary talent or passion for music that wills her to release music regardless of reception. 16 1 5 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming back to music can only hurt her legacy, not improve it. The hype for music is so insane that anything she releases will inevitably be seen as a letdown. A letdown that would hurt the "Rihanna" image and therefore hurt her actual brands (Fenty). The risk far outweighs any potential reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if she flops with new music, she runs the risk of coming across as corny or a hasbeen which will hurt what she truly cares about: Fenty sales 11 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The risk far outweighs any potential reward. this may ring true for acts like Frank Ocean, but not acts like Rihanna. It's not like she's some critical darling who gets that level of pressure and expectation. The Navy would maybe hold her to some insane standard but not the public. All she needs is some catchy hits with that signature iconic voice and she's good. It's not impossible a comeback, I just don't think her heart is into music like that anymore.

GeminiCat Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I’ve accepted that she is retired and that is that until she proves otherwise. She has her business empire, a family, she doesn’t need music anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
