Leave Rihanna Alone So We Can Get This Damn Album!

I’m a huge Rihanna fan. While I'm not a card carrying member of the Navy, I stan for Rihanna. Whether it's her music, her Fenty makeup line, her upcoming luxury collection from her Fenty fashion house or her Savage lingerie line, I am a huge supporter and admirer of her and her hard work. However, if I'm being honest, the thing that made me fall in love with her, as a person, is her pettiness. The way that she unashamedly claps back on haters on social media or uses various images of herself to respond to smart ass comments makes her, in my book, the Queen of Petty. If you think you're going to sneak on Robyn Rihanna Fenty, you have another thing coming. Nobody can top her! And to that extent, I have a prediction.

Rihanna is going to wait until 11:59 pm EST on December 31, 2019 to release her album. She made a promise that we, her adoring fans, will receive music by the end of the year, and I believe that she will deliver. However, I wouldn't put it past her to wait until the very last mintue to release that album. If we're being honest, it's exactly what we deserve. She's asked for patience, and folks have not given it to her. As Kid Fury likes to state, when Rihanna was releasing albums every year, folks weren’t checking for her. After ANTI...sigh. Just call her Mike Jones. Back then, hoes didn't want her, now she's hot, folks all on her!

While we all have been applauding the many accomplishments she’s had since ANTI's release in 2016, some folks have consistently remained on the back of her neck about new music. It’s not like she’s been missing from the music scene. Her features on hit songs like, “Wild Thoughts", "LEMON" and "Loyalty" have definitely been keeping our appetites wet while she has pursued a very rewarding and successful career in the fashion industry. However, for some, it’s not enough. They forgot that our good sis is starting to dab her toes into the film and television industry. You want an album? Rihanna said, “Well here’s a bronzer.” Stop acting like you don’t have a Fenty number. She's feeding the people (literally sometimes), but ya'll refuse to let her stack her coins in peace! I know that a solo album just hit different than a feature, but I really need some of y’all to calm down. By not having faith in her and her process, you’ve got Robyn Rihanna Fenty, First of Her Name, Roaster of Dumbasses, and Queen of Petty entirely fucked up.

I can tell that Rihanna is sick of our shit. This is best exemplified by the fact that there are 1.5 months left in this damn year (in the damn decade), and Rihanna is releasing a photo book instead of a damn album. Let’s not forget how she trolled the masses through her tasteful and tactful use of a Love and Hip Hop clip. She does not care about your feelings, your mama’s feelings, or anybody’s feelings. I fully believe that every time somebody pushes a pregnancy rumor or makes another false claim about when her album is going to drop, Rihanna calls her label and says, "push the shit back, these hoes haven't learned yet." Ya'll have made up so much shit that it's reached a point where she's going to wait until the very last minute to release that album. See, what you should have done is sat there and ate your food. Now look at us...

Rihanna, I understand. Folks won't let you be great so you have to teach them a lesson. I get it, Queen. I respect it. You have shown us who you are and what you can do when it comes to the Art of Petty. We have respected you for it, and even applauded you for it. However, when it really matters, we continue to play games and doubt you. Our bad. We need to humble ourselves and wait for this fire ass reggae album in peace. Duly noted, sis.
