TMZ TV Hot Take: Rihanna Teases Retirement From Music With Coy Update

Rihanna may no longer be work, work, work, working on new music … issuing a coy update about her status in the industry — and sending fans into a tizzy.

We discussed the shocking statement from RiRi on “TMZ on TV,” where the crew speculated whether or not the pop star really announced her retirement from music with a subtle statement.

Some were more convinced than others, with a couple members of the team taking Rihanna at her word … and acknowledging she doesn’t have to perform anymore given her new beauty and fashion empire.

Others, namely Mel, were shocked by Rihanna’s comment … as she’s been teasing a potential new album for some time now.

Sounds like she’s put the passion project on hold to focus on other things … crediting God for her “other plans.”
