Fans are loving every bit of Rihanna’s clapback after she put a disrespectful fan in his place. The admirer tried to troll the singer as he demanded new music from her in the new year. However, the entrepreneur was not one to be had, and she responded in proper Rihanna fashion, which gave many flashbacks of when she used to do that on X, formerly Twitter.
Rihanna Claps Back at Rude Fan
Netizens have applauded Rihanna’s very suitable clapback at a fan who insulted her forehead. The singer, known for her fiery retorts, posted an Instagram video on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, that showed her ringing in the new year. She held a phone in her hand as she counted down with friends in the room. The caption read, “New Year, New Me.” As Rihanna shouted “Happy New Year” after the countdown, she told her fans she stayed sober throughout the year.
“Y’all, I didn’t drink all year. I didn’t drink all year,” she shouted with excitement.
However, a devoted but rude fan took to her comment section and made a request.
“We want an album forehead,” the individual named Lorenzo wrote.
However, Rihanna’s clapback put him in his place.
“Listen Lorenzo! You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy fuck!” the Fenty Beauty founder responded.
Not only does Lorenzo not know about a possible album, but he also got hit with Rihanna’s clapback.
Rihanna Hinted At Possible Retirement
Lorenzo is not the only one waiting for news about new music from Rihanna. Fans often long for her to release new songs. However, Rihanna’s music career has stalled since she started her business. Meanwhile, she hinted at a possible retirement at a Fenty Beauty launch event in Barbados in November.
“I would say music was the thing that got the attention. But God had other plans for me, and I was able to create in ways … that were very sincere and genuine or organic and authentic to the things that I love,” she said.
“So it doesn’t even feel like a job. But when you bring it home, I cannot express to you guys what this day means for me to be able to celebrate with the people that deserve it the most, the community that has always propelled me to the next place and given me the strength and the grace and you guys have always inspired me,” she added.
Rihanna’s statement won’t come as a surprise, considering her last album, Anti, was released almost a decade ago.
Rihanna May Release New Music
Meanwhile, Rihanna may very well surprise her fans. She is not only the queen of clapbacks, but she is also adept at astounding people. The Diamonds singer shocked everyone when she revealed her second pregnancy during her Super Bowl halftime performance in February 2023. Similarly, there have been talks about a ninth studio album from the mom of two. According to The Sun, Rihanna will release a new album featuring collaborations with many artists in 2025.
“And now, I’m prepared to go back in the studio. Now I’m prepared, so I’m gonna start, she said, per the outlet. “I’m really happy with a lot of the material we have so far, but I am not going to put it out until it’s complete.”
The report also states that Rihanna will go on a World Tour in 2025. However, the singer has not confirmed the veracity of the report.
Rihanna’s fans will be excited if the talks about a ninth album are true, seeing just how nostalgic her clapback made them. Hopefully, the reports are true, and the Umbrella singer will drop new music.
