Rihanna’s Excitement Over Glamorous Magazine Cover Dampened By Impatient Fans Demanding New Music

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Rihanna is slaying the latest cover of Garage Magazine but fans are more concerned about when they’ll hear new music. The singer had her millions of fans in a frenzy on Tuesday, September 4 after posting a video to her Instagram that looked like a promotion for new music but turned about to be clips from her magazine photoshoot. “by #DeanaLawson for @garage_magazine #THEHUMANFUTURE is out Thursday!!” read the caption.

While there were fans that praised the pop diva for her gorgeous looks, some fans seemed to only want her to drop some more hits.

A few fans just outright asked about the music, “We need music ri”, “M U S I C please 🙄🙄🙄😭😭😭😭😭”, “Where my music at???”, “Albums? You still believe in those?”, “Music Rihanna where’s the Music 🤦🏾‍♀️”

Another gave the RiRi props for all she does, “LOVE THIS!!!! & all you’re doing in fashion & beauty….patiently waiting for the amazing music coming from all these successful endeavors!”

One fan stood up for the singer, “CAUSE IF SHE RUSH AND YALL DONT LIKE IT THEN WHAT”

There were still fans that are just happy to support Rihanna’s work, “Always breaking necks”, “You are an INSPIRATION ✨👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👑”, “@badgalriri…Rihanna….you’re such perfection sis!!!”

Seems like RihRih won’t escape the badgering from her fans until a new album is done. Even on posts not directly related to the singer like a sweet message she posted wishing her Fenty model and friend Slick Woods well in her pregnancy. A fan stormed into the comment of the post and said, “Drop some music fatass, Adele is coming.” Rihanna responded in laughter and commented, “😂 yoooo.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
