It looks like we're FINALLY getting some updates on Bad Gal Riri's forthcoming album, after R&B legend The Dream revealed some details in an all-encompassing interview.

It's been almost three years since her last work, 2016's ANTI, and since then Rihanna has taken on world domination through fashion and cosmetics.

Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty have been hugely successful, and we thank her for those gems, but now we need the TUNES to match, mmkay?

Fans have been waiting a long time to hear more music from the iconic singer, and her newest record is "about done", according to The Dream. The singer has worked closely with Rihanna since 2007.

When asked about the versatile artists' newest work, he said; "She’s cooking, she’s about done. She’s about done. Super close." TAKE IT OUT OF THE OVEN.

He flat out refused to give any more details about the Disturbia hitmaker's album, but also teased that Beyoncé is "doing something" in the studio. Praise the Lawd, the Queens are returning to their thrones.

Speaking in an interview with Ebro Darden, he said: “I actually haven’t talked to her about it – I’ve talked to the team about it because it’s kind of just being coordinated. But she’s doing something."

RiRi recently joked to her fans that her internet connection was too poor to answer their questions about her album, though many are saying her ninth studio album is close to being finished.

The singer posted a video to her Instagram Stories which featured her waving a wad of cash, smiling and blowing a kiss to the camera, with the caption, '"Fans: "Where the album?" Me: sorry my connection poor."

Kuk Harrell, who worked with the star on ANTI, and co-wrote songs such as Umbrella and Only Girl (In the World), recently responded to one of the singer’s fans who asked about the album, saying; 

"R9 is great. R9 is amazing. It’s incredible, And that’s all I’m going to say." Obviously it's amazing, but we need it NOW.

There have been zero announcements yet on a release date, but we'll be patient for Bad Gal RiRi.

Rihanna has now taken legal action against her father, Ronald Fenty, for using her trademark Fenty brand in a "fraudulent effort to solicit millions of dollars" without her permission.

Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, has filed a lawsuit against her dad after he set up the company Fenty Entertainment and apparently acted as her agent.

She claims Ronald and a man named Moses Perkins have been "soliciting business by falsely acting as her agent".

According to legal documents, the duo are allegedly seeking "to profit from her fame" and "although Mr. Fenty is Rihanna’s father, he does not have, and never has had, authority to act on Rihanna’s behalf."

The ANTI singer and beauty mogul also claims they have falsely booked her for a $15 million Latin American tour, two concerts at Staples Centre in LA and a Las Vegas show, worth $400,000.

The documents also allege that her father tried unsuccessfully to file trademark for Fenty multiple times to launch a "resort hotel services" with the hope of "exploiting Rihanna’s name and brand". Yikes.

The 30-year-old star insists that she tried to settle the issues outside of court but that he ignored her cease and desist mail. She's now asking a judge to place an injunction on Ronald.

Fenty has been trademarked by Bad Gal Riri for all business ventures, such as her cosmetics and lingerie collections.

The Umbrella songstress has a turbulent relationship with her biological father; she has maintained that he physically abused her mother and has been addicted to crack cocaine in the past.

He was kicked off her 2008 tour for drunken behaviour, and she paid for her father to enter a rehabilitation clinic back in 2013.

Despite the drama, she is still in contact with her dad and they were seen together in Barbados last November celebrating her grandfather's 90th birthday.

Sounds pretty tumultuous to us, it makes our family spats at the dinner table look hella minor.

Rihanna is pretty much a goddess not of this earth. We do not deserve her, or her iconic Fenty Beauty range. That's for certain.

The versatile vixen has now released a new Christmas range for her Savage x Fenty lingerie line, and it's fair to say our minds are officially blown.

I mean, does this woman ever take a day off from being perfection?

She captioned the post: 

We getting NAUGHTY-not-NICE this season! @savagexfenty just dropped The Ultimate Gift Guide to help you shop gifts for everybody in ya life !! Hit up SavageX.com to get 50% off everything for a limited time!”

Tbh we barely read the caption because we were far too busy staring at how drop-dead gorgeous she is in the post, but obviously we will be lining up to get whatever this gal offers us.

Naturally, the topless pic pretty much set the internet on fire, and went instantly viral. Everything she does goes viral, but this is next level fire.

Fans are still spamming the singer, actress and fashion icon regarding news of her ninth studio album, and one particularly quick fan noticed that RiRi registered two new songs:

PLEASE let her release new mucic, it's all we need, it's all we CRAVE in the universe. She hasn't released her own music since 2016's ANTI.

Her badass tunes are the oxygen to our lungs. The Ant to our Dec. The Rudolph to our Santa. You get the picture…

Well, it's official: being nice is cancelled. It's over.

Rihanna said it in her underwear, so it must be true.

Rihanna has reportedly turned down the opportunity to perform at the Superbowl Half-Time show to show her solidarity with former NFL star and 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick, US media reports.

She allegedly is in total disagreement with the NFL's methods, such as their stalled divisive policy regarding the national anthem.

Kaepernick gained infamy after choosing to kneel during the US national anthem last year, and became the first of numerous NFL stars to protest race inequality and police brutality in America, and is now thr face of Nike's controversial ad campaign.

He has not played in the NFL since early 2017 and is now embroiled in a lawsuit with the organisation- claiming team owners have shunned him for his activism. He has claimed that his political stances have resulted in his total ostracisation, despite race relations in the US currently being far from ideal.

The US media is claiming that pop superstar, fashion icon and general Badass Female Rihanna was the first choice for the half-time show, which the likes of Lady Gaga, Prince, Beyoncé and Michael Jackson have headlined.

"CBS and the NFL reached out to Rihanna first, who after thinking about the offer, decided to pass due to the NFL and the situation regarding players kneeling."

Judging by the reactions on Twitter, fans are standing by her side in her decision to protest the NFL’s methods, though many are divided in their opinions.

Her fans continue to stan, and appear to understand the global superstar's reasons.

Maroon 5 have since been chosen as Plan B for the show, which takes place in Atlanta next year.

Cardi B is apparently the favourite to be their guest star, and there are also claims stating that Pink turned the chance down when talks dragged on for too long.

Kween Rih has spoken.

Rihanna should be on top of the world right now. 

Despite production delays, she has just released her brand new album ANTI which is being well received by fans around the globe. 

As is usual with a new release from the hard-working singer, we expect to see her everywhere from making appearances at any televised she can get on to new videos being released a mile a minute. 

But Rihanna has been noticeably quiet. 

The star reportedly cancelled her performance at the Grammys at the very last minute citing bronchitis as the reason for her failure to turn up. 

However, reports swiftly followed that the 27-year-old had a meltdown during rehearsals for the performance and stormed out. 

Today, we are receiving news that the singer is now delaying her upcoming ANTI tour. 

According to Billboard, the tour is being postponed due to production delays. 

The hotly anticipated concert, which are due to start at soon as the end of this month, will now reportedly begin in mid-March. 

The new album was also flooded with production issues as reports circulated that Rihanna was desperately looking for more songs worryingly close to the release date. 

Having changed record labels since her last release and as we still wait for a music video for new single Work featuring Drake, we hope all is actually okay over in the Rihanna camp. 

Someone needs to be able to give Queen Bey a run for her money.

The wait is finally over!

After a tonne of speculation and delayed release dates, Rihanna has finally revealed the first single from her hotly anticipated album. 

The single entitled Work, features rapper Drake and is to be the first single from the album may be released as early as next week!

While there's no video as of yet, the track was premiered on US radio just this morning and we have to say, we like it.

With Rihanna's new tunes this month and Beyonce's latest record most likely out next month, we will have a tonne of party tunes to slay to for the rest of the year. 

The song is currently only available on the Jay-Z's streaming service Tidal or to preview and purchase on iTunes so it's still pretty difficult to access. 

You can also listen to a snippet of the track below:

It seems that Rihanna could be finally releasing her brand new album Anti within the next couple days, according to Billboard.

The singer teased fans on social media earlier this week by saying she was listening to the album. So, now everyone could be listening to the music very, very soon.

The album was supposed to be released last year, and RiRi even quit the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to finish it. 

Rihanna's Anti World Tour is set to begin in exactly one month so expect to hear all the new songs on the tour. We're excited!

Rihanna has been taunting us with the details of her new album release for over a month now, but she's just given us a double whammy of good news.

First up, us Irish folks will finally get the chance to see the singer playing live again, with a date in the Aviva Stadium set for June 21, 2016.

Tickets are set to go on sale on December 3 – we know what we'll be getting for Christmas.

And while we might need to wait a a few days more for RiRi's album, ANTI, she has at least given fans a few extra hints about what to expect.

After revealing the album art a few weeks back, RiRi announced the launch of a new website, antidiary.com, earlier this week. The site, which can only be properly viewed on a mobile device, seems to be a teaser for her new music.

No sign of any of the new tracks appearing online but judging by the tour announcement, we have a feeling they are going to drop any day now.

Even with previous albums, RiRi was known for making eleventh hour changes to her music, so it's likely there are still some final tweaks being made.

"Almost every night, when you’re asleep, Rihanna is in the studio," journalist Miranda July wrote last month.

"As we spoke, she was still working on [Anti]."

We hope she hurries up…

It looks like Rihanna's album release date could be pulled back even further as it has been revealed the singer isn't happy with some of her new tracks.

The Diamonds hitmaker is planning to change and tweak her forthcoming album – called Anti – because she's "uncomfortable and unhappy" with various pieces of it. 

Rihanna's father Ronald, who claims he has heard 26 songs she's recorded, told The Sun: "Robyn (Rihanna's real name) is not happy with the new album. She's not comfortable with it."

"When she went over the songs she found all these little things she wanted to change and was worried about it. It's a long process and isn't easy."

Anti was originally planned to be released by the end of the year but it looks like the 27-year-old wants to push the release date into next year in order to create more content.

"It's been three years now since her last album," said Ronald. "She wants this to blow everything else away, no competition, because she's calling it her 'first album'."

Rihanna, who has previously collaborated with rappers such as Drake, Kanye, Jay Z and Eminem, has decided to record much of this album alone.

"A lot of times she has someone else singing with her and the collaborations always do good but this time she has a lot by herself – and you don't miss the other singers as she's so good."
