Rihanna may be prepared to abandon her musical career. Following the singer-turned-entrepreneur’s remarks at the recent launch party for her Fenty Skin cosmetics brand in her native Barbados, some admirers have come to that conclusion.
The 36-year-old Rihanna informed the guests, “I would say music was the thing that got the attention. But God had other plans for me and I was able to create in ways … that were very sincere and genuine or organic and authentic to the things that I love.”

Rihanna’s remarks during the Caribbean debut of Fenty Beauty in Barbados: “Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me. I cannot express what this day means to me, to be able to celebrate with people who deserve it the most. Thank you to my country.”
The “Stay” pop singer noted, “So it doesn’t even feel like a job. But when you bring it home, I cannot express to you guys what this day means for me to be able to celebrate with the people that deserve it the most, the community that has always propelled me to the next place and given me the strength and the grace and you guys have always inspired me.”
The 2016 release of Rihanna’s most recent album, Anti, includes singles like “Work” and “Love on the Brain.” In 2018, she first revealed intentions for a reggae-inspired album in a Vogue cover story, claiming that hundreds of tunes were submitted by Jamaican producers. The record, which fans frequently call R9, is still pending release.
Since then, Rihanna has focused on her business endeavors, such as Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, and she has given birth to kids, RZA and Riot, with ASAP Rocky.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’s soundtrack featured Rihanna’s last hits, “Lift Me Up” and “Born Again.”
When Complex’s Jordan Rose questioned her about her current creative phase in December, she responded, “I’m in an era of discovery.”
He noted, “Maybe it’s rediscovery because so much is changing, and some things are fleeting. And some things are yet to be discovered, right? And I’m in the center of all of that.”
