Please recognize she’s trying! Shortly before arriving at the Met Gala in New York City on Monday (May 5), Rihanna revealed that she’s pregnant with her third child with partner A$AP Rocky. So not surprisingly, in addition to discussing what she was wearing for fashion’s biggest night, there were questions about whether growing her family would mean delaying her already long-awaited ninth studio album.
When asked about that on the blue carpet, Ri — who was in a custom Marc Jacobs — had a very confident answer. “Noooooo!” she insisted about the upcoming album’s arrival to Entertainment Tonight before admitting some things might come a little later. “Maybe a couple videos! I can still sing!”
The “Umbrella” singer — who shares sons RZA, nearly 3, and Riot Rose, 1, with Rocky — also joked earlier on to reporters as she was walking the carpet at the star-studded event that she “brought the kid!” Though she was dressed to the nines and in high heels, she told ET that she was feeling good that night. “I’m shockingly feeling OK and not too overwhelmed at the moment,” she shared before admitting that perhaps her third pregnancy did have her feeling a little bit overwhelmed in the beginning. “At first, it was kinda like, ‘Ahhhhhhhh,’ and ‘I’m tired,’” the nine-time Grammy winner said. “But then I’m excited.”
As for the “Tailor Swif” rapper, he was excited to let the world in on the couple’s happy news. “We were tired of holding that, and it was time to show the people what we was cooking up,” he told the Associated Press. “I’m glad everybody’s happy for us, because we’re definitely happy.”
And hopefully soon, Ri’s Navy will also be happy with the eventual arrival of R9. The “Disturbia” singer last released an album nearly a decade ago when she dropped Anti in February 2016. As for the delayed set? Ri shared in her March Harper’s Bazaar cover story that contrary to what she called “way off” rumors, the album would not be reggae.
“There’s no genre now. That’s why I waited,” the star explained. “After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.”
