Announcing the release of Fenty Hair on Instagram, she wrote: ‘A new family is moving in! @fentyhair is pullin’ up and it’s time to finally have the hair experience you’ve been waiting for.
‘You know how much switching my hair up matters to me,’ she continued. ‘I’ve had almost every texture, colour, [and] length – from weaves to braids to natural. So, I am launching a flexible line of products for not only every hair want, but every single product is designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair, which is what we truly need! It’s time to play and get stronger by the style.’
It comes after another public appearance from the star sparked retirement rumours.
Rihanna wore a slogan T-shirt with the phrase ‘I’m retired’ when she was spotted in New York alongside partner A$AP Rocky.
The sighting has led fans to question whether the shirt was poking fun at her fandom repeatedly asking when new music will be on its way.
Rihanna’s last release came in 2022 when she produced hit single Lift Me Up for the soundtrack of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Six years prior she released her eighth studio album, Anti, featuring singles Work, Kiss It Better, Needed Me, Love on the Brain.

However, there is still hope for a ninth album from the Umbrella icon as she revealed to Entertainment Tonight at the Fenty x Puma Creeper Phatty launch party.
Rihanna shared: ‘We’re always gonna go back on tour. I wanna go back on tour when there’s new music, right? We already know what that’s gonna be.
‘My last tour was a long time ago, I feel like it’s only fair that my fans get what they’ve been waiting on – which is new music. And after that, let’s just blow everything up.’
Rihanna has reportedly signed an eye-watering £32million comeback deal with Live Nation so things new music ahead of a tour is definitely on the cards.
