The jokes have continued to pour in since Rihanna surprised the world with a pregnancy reveal. The singer floated through the Super Bowl halftime show—quite literally—with her baby bump on display. It was a surprise considering she gave birth less than a year ago, but she and A$AP Rocky are more than thrilled to expand their family. As well wishes flood timelines, fans have also used the opportunity to once again troll Rihanna about her fabled next album, which will remain a mystery until she’s ready.
In 2019, Entertainment Tonight brought up a then-potential Super Bowl performance to the Fenty star. “Actually, this is my first time hearing about the Super Bowl since last Super Bowl,” she told the publication at the time. “Girl, I still got an album to finish. You’re gonna ask about Super Bowl, really? My fans are gonna have my neck.”

The big game has come and gone, and people are weighing in about the show. Meanwhile, RiRi’s Navy believes that her next album is turning into folklore after they speculated on her next moves. Before her Super Bowl appearance, Rihanna teased about what was in store for her future. There were rumors about a possible world tour and album reveal, but it looks like she’s focused on being a billionaire mom.
However, not all is lost; we know that the singer has indeed been working on a record because she’s said so. Additionally, Pharrell Williams even offered an update, albeit it has been some time, about working on Rihanna’s next record. He was thrilled to hear how she’s expanding and can’t wait until the world experiences it as well.
“You’re not going to expect what you hear,” she teased in September 2021. “Put that in your mind. Whatever you know of Rihanna is not going to be what you hear. I’m really experimenting, and music is like fashion. You should be able to play. I should be able to wear whatever I want. I treat music the same way. I’m having fun and it’s going to be completely different.”
