Singer Rihanna has reignited speculation about her future in the music industry, prompting fans to ponder whether she might be considering an early exit from recording music. The Barbadian singer, entrepreneur, and fashion icon made these remarks during a speech at a Fenty Beauty event in her home country of Barbados on November 9, as reported by Page Six. Addressing a full house at the opening of a new Fenty store, Rihanna made a statement that hinted at a change in her professional focus.
"Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me," she told the audience, which included many of her fans. Although not a definitive announcement of her retirement, this comment quickly sparked fan speculation on social media about the future of her music career. Rihanna has been less active in the music scene lately, concentrating more on her Fenty Beauty cosmetics line and the Savage x Fenty lingerie brand.
Despite previous promises of new music, her comments in Barbados have led some fans to speculate that she might be preparing to leave the recording industry behind. Rihanna also emphasized how fulfilling her creative journey has been, particularly in her business ventures. "I was able to create in ways that were very sincere and genuine, organic, and authentic to the things that I love," she continued in her speech, adding, "So, it doesn't even feel like a job," according to Page Six.
Although Rihanna, who was once the world's richest female musician with an estimated net worth of $1.4 billion (Dh5.1 billion), may not be actively recording music currently, her influence on the music industry remains significant. With a career spanning over a decade, she has produced numerous chart-topping hits, won Grammy Awards, and solidified her status as one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
