Rihanna could be set to break a decade-long album hiatus, according to her partner A$AP Rocky.<\/p>\n

“She in the studio right now,” the rapper said on the The Jason Lee podcast on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Few details about the project were revealed, apart from a denial that the pair would collaborate on a double album. However, in response to questioning about about a potential new album, he added “she cooking.”<\/p>\n

The singer and beauty mogul from Barbados, whose real name is Robyn Fenty, has not released a full album since 2016’s Anti.<\/p>\n

“Are you the reason we don’t have an album?” podcaster Jason Lee asked the rapper on his show, noting the three children<\/a> shared by the pair and Rihanna’s travel.<\/p>\n

The rapper denied this, instead saying that the singer was in fact working on new music.<\/p>\n

“Yeah I said it, sorry babe,” he continued, adding that he would “get in trouble for this.”<\/p>\n

Little other information about the possible music was revealed in the interview.<\/p>\n

In February last year<\/a>, Rihanna said that she felt “really optimistic” about a new album. <\/p>\n

“I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!,” she told a reporter from Harper’s Bazaar.<\/p>\n

She also said, “I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.”<\/p>\n

Since her last album, Rihanna has released singles, including some linked to film projects, including 2022’s Lift Me Up for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. <\/p>\n

She has also launched multiple businesses, including her popular makeup range Fenty Beauty and a lingerie company. The 38-year-old’s net worth has been estimated by Forbes at over a billion dollars.<\/p>\n

During the interview, A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, refused to comment on whether he and Rihanna had married.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rihanna could be set to break a decade-long album hiatus, according to her partner A$AP Rocky. “She in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":729101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-729100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=729100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/729100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/729101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=729100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=729100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=729100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
