Rihanna confirmed in studio for new album, says A$AP Rocky
A$AP Rocky told host Jason Lee on The Jason Lee Show that Rihanna is currently back in the recording studio and working on new music, marking the first full‑length album since her 2016 release Anti. He said, “She in the studio right now… Sorry, babe,” confirming the long‑rumored comeback.
The interview also highlighted the couple’s family life: Rihanna and Rocky share three children—sons RZA and Riot and daughter Rocki—and rely on extensive help for childcare. Rihanna, a Barbadian billionaire who has released singles and focused on her Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty businesses, has not issued a new album for nearly a decade, heightening fan anticipation.
