Rihanna, the multi-talented singer and fashion mogul, has recently shared her thoughts on ageing, describing it as both challenging and rewarding. At 37 years old, Robyn Fenty, known to the world as Rihanna, has not only made a significant impact in the music industry but also in the world of fashion. She is a mother of two children, RZA and Riot, with her partner A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers. A$AP Rocky was recently cleared of a felony gun charge, allowing the couple to focus on their family and future endeavors.
Rihanna's music career began in 2003, and since then, she has achieved remarkable success. With nine UK number one singles and four number one albums to her name, Rihanna has become a household name globally. She has also secured nine Grammy Awards, further solidifying her status as one of the industry's leading figures. Currently working on her ninth studio album, she has dismissed rumors that it will be a reggae record. Instead, she emphasizes that there is no single genre for her upcoming work.
"There's no genre now, that's why I waited." – Rihanna
Rihanna's approach to her music reflects her personal growth and evolution. She has expressed concerns about performing songs that do not align with her current self and has been cautious about the material she releases. Her focus is on creating work that truly matters.
"Every time, I was just like, 'No, it's not me, it's not right. It's not matching my growth. It's not matching my evolution. I can't do this. I can't stand by this. I can't perform this for a year on tour'." – Rihanna
Her commitment to meaningful artistry is evident in her determination to wait until the time is right.
"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." – Rihanna
Beyond her professional pursuits, Rihanna is focusing on living in the present and cherishing experiences over material possessions.
"My legacy is right now. That's all I have the most control over. My legacy is what I do with my time at this moment." – Rihanna
She values creating memories and finding happiness in the moment.
"How am I grateful? How am I making this a happy moment? How am I making a memory?" – Rihanna
