Rihanna Shows Off Her Sense of Humor and Confidence Online
Handling online criticism can be tricky, but Rihanna demonstrates her prowess with a sharp retort. The 36-year-old singer, who has not released a full album since her acclaimed work, Anti, in 2016, recently shared a vibrant video celebrating the New Year’s festivities with friends. As she radiated joy in the clip, a comment from a social media user shifted the focus.
“We want an album forehead,” quipped the user, blending a comment about her anticipated music with a light-hearted jab at her prominent forehead. Rihanna was quick to respond, telling the user, “Listen Lorenzo, you ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy f***!” This sassy comeback resonated widely, quickly spreading across social media as fans expressed their admiration for her fearless attitude.
In her video, Rihanna enthusiastically proclaimed, “Y’all, I didn’t drink all year! I didn’t drink all year,” while captioning it with “New Year, New Me.” Fans found her spirit and candidness refreshing, but it was her sharp rebuttal to the troll that truly captivated attention.
Watch it here:
Despite nearly a decade passing since her last full album release, Rihanna has not left her fans without music. In 2022, she contributed two songs, “Lift Me Up” and “Born Again,” to the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The following year, her standout performance during the Super Bowl halftime show thrilled audiences globally.
More recently, Rihanna surprised fans by showing up at a Girls Love Karaoke event in New York City, where she performed recognizable hits like “Needed Me” and “Sex with Me.” Fans were overjoyed to see her take the stage, even in a casual environment.
During an April conversation with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna hinted at her forthcoming music, expressing that her new tracks are “so good.” However, she has candidly discussed the pressures associated with following up on her previous success. In a conversation with British Vogue, she opened up about the “toxic pressure” she feels regarding her next project, stemming from the overwhelming affection for her last album.
Rihanna stated, “It’s not the right way to look at music because music is an outlet and a space to create, and you can create whatever. It doesn’t have to even be on any scale. It just has to be something that feels good. It could just be a song that I like. It literally could be that simple.”
As her fans continue to anticipate new music, Rihanna’s quick wit and self-assured nature ensure that she remains a captivating figure in the industry, generating discussion whether or not she is actively releasing new songs.
