It’s been an almost four year wait since RiRi’s last body of work, ANTI, hit shelves at the beginning of 2016. During that time, a multitude of hints and rumors have been dropped, including snaps of the “Love on the Brain” singer hitting the studio. 

Rihanna promised in December 2018 that the album, which will be her ninth, will be released in 2019. But as we enter the final stretch of the year, fans are asking the megastar, “Where have you been?”

Well, we might just have an answer…

Known for her savage sense of humor, the Fenty founder decided to troll her fans on Instagram by posting a video of a dog dancing and the caption, “Update: me listening to R9 by myself and refusing to release it.”

It’s in moments like these that we hate that we love her…

Even though R9, as it has been crowned by the Rihanna Navy fan base, has no release date in sight, we do know that it will see the Barbadian singer going back to her island roots as it is expected to have a reggae flavor.
