Some were more convinced than others, with a couple members of the team taking Rihanna at her word … and acknowledging she doesn’t have to perform anymore given her new beauty and fashion empire.
Others, namely Mel, were shocked by Rihanna’s comment … as she’s been teasing a potential new album for some time now.
Sounds like she’s put the passion project on hold to focus on other things … crediting God for her “other plans.”
