A$AP Rocky may have accidentally revealed that Rihanna’s long-awaited ninth studio album is closer than fans expected after confirming that the singer is back in the studio.
The rapper made the revelation during an appearance on The Jason Lee Show while discussing Rihanna’s music career and her life as a mother of three.
When asked whether family responsibilities were responsible for the delay of her next album, Rocky admitted that Rihanna was actively working on new music.
Rihanna’s decade-long wait for new music
“Respectfully, you’re right. But yo, she’s in the studio right now,” Rocky said.
Realising he had revealed information that may have been intended to remain private, he joked that he could be in trouble with his wife.
“Yeah, I said it. Sorry, babe,” he added.
Rihanna’s last album, Anti, was released in 2016, and fans have been waiting for a follow-up project ever since.
The singer has spent much of the past decade building her business empire, including her fashion and beauty ventures, while also raising her children with Rocky.
Rocky’s comments represent the strongest public indication yet that Rihanna’s musical comeback could be approaching, although no official release date has been announced.
