Rihanna’s Fans Believe Her ‘R9’ Album May Drop Before The End Of The Year

Fans have been waiting for Rihanna to drop her next project ‘R9’ for most of the year, after the singer previously said she’d deliver it in 2019. Over the weekend she trolled the whole world with this meme, which she captioned:

While many folks felt the Bajan singer was cruelly taunting them by “refusing” to drop her new music, others took solace in the idea that the project might be done. And the release date rumors began to roll in…

01.25.16: Rihanna tweeted this.. 4 days later ANTI was released
12.22.19: Rihanna via Instagram «me listening R9 by myself »

THE ALBUM IS COMING THIS FRIDAY 27th https://t.co/eCUqGxHUVa

The 22nd was the ig post. It’s called R9. 9 days after the 22nd is the 31st. She’s definitely releasing right before the year is up. Even if you use anti… 4 letters….4 days later it was released https://t.co/JIySkeTBak

Do y’all think Rihanna might drop ‘R9’ this Friday or on New Years Eve? Are you anxiously awaiting ‘R9’? Who is an artist who you always look forward to releasing new music?

Hit the flip for more reactions to RihRih’s petty post.
