Rihanna makes rare remark about her lengthy hiatus from music while deejaying at Fenty Beauty event

Rihanna had some fun deejaying at a Fenty Beauty event in her native Barbados.

The Umbrella singer, 36, looked lovely in a brown midi-length dress featuring a plunging neckline and ruching throughout the dress.

The mom-of-two really got into her set to the delight of the assembled crowd who was there to celebrate the opening of a Fenty store in the Caribbean nation.

During the event, Rihanna gave a speech that hinted at the possibility that she may be retiring from making music.

‘Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me,’ she said while addressing attendees.

The remark reignited fans’ fears that RiRi will never finish her highly anticipated ninth album and, in fact, may never release new music again.

Many took to social media to express their dismay, made worse by the fact that she hasn’t released new music in eight years, work on her ninth studio album seems to be stalled and she wore a t-shirt earlier this year that said ‘I’m Retired’ on the front of it. 

But fans can take some solace in the fact that Rihanna has not explicitly stated she is retiring from music. Back in June, she addressed the viral rumors that started circulating after she wore the ‘I’m Retired’ t-shirt.

She denied that there was any meaning behind the t-shirt and said there was another line on it.

‘This is as dressed up as I get,’ which was the point she was trying to make.

Rihanna has been very focused on Fenty Beauty and her other beauty and fashion industry desires and has made no secret of the fact that she enjoys that creative process greatly. 

The Pon de Replay singer recently released a new line in collaboration with Puma and opened up about her inspiration for the colorful clothing in an interview with W Magazine.  

‘I want to make things for all body types. That was very intentional when I first started, even back with River Island,’ she told the outlet. ”With [Fenty x Puma], I have so much freedom. I want everybody in my crew to have something.’

‘You don’t just design for yourself. You use your taste as the muse of everything. I like to play around with silhouettes. 

‘Trust me, I could always use a good fat day outfit. I like to be comfortable.’
