On August 27, 2025, Rihanna caused a stir among her fans by updating her profile and cover images on her social networks, including X and Instagram, with a new aesthetic featuring the titles of her eight studio albums.
This change coincides with the celebration of the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Music of the Sun, released on August 29, 2005.
The action sparked rumors of a possible musical comeback after a long recording silence.
Since 2022, Rihanna has shown timid signs of musical activity. That year she released “Lift Me Up”, a track included in the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: her first solo single in six years.
In 2025, he stated in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar that his long-awaited ninth album – known as R9 –will live up to expectations, rejecting the idea of releasing something mediocre or conventional.
He assured that it will not be “what anyone expects” and that it does not belong to a specific genre, reflecting his artistic evolution.
Rumors of new music from Rihanna
In addition, there are signs that Rihanna is preparing more than just music.
There is speculation that he might perform a six-concert residency in London in 2026, as part of the tenth anniversary of his album Anti (2016).
These shows were planned for 2025, but were postponed for production reasons and her third pregnancy.
Rihanna is recognized beyond music: entrepreneur, fashion icon, actress and humanitarian. Founder of Fenty Beauty, pioneer of luxury brands such as Fenty under LVMH, and ambassador for Barbados, she remains one of the most influential Latinas globally.
