Rihanna just turned heads again—this time, gracing the latest cover of Harper’s Bazaar with a jaw-dropping photoshoot that’s already breaking the internet. But the real story isn’t just her glamorous look (though those metallic gowns are fire). In her most candid interview yet, the global icon finally opens up about her long-awaited return to music, life as a mom of two, and how she’s navigating A$AP Rocky’s recent legal drama.
“The Album Is Coming… I Swear!”
Fans, breathe: Rihanna confirmed that new music is actually happening. “I’ve been experimenting, not just with sounds but with how I want to express myself now,” she teased, hinting that motherhood has reshaped her creative process. “My kids are my biggest inspiration—but they’re also the reason I’m up at 3 a.m. jotting down lyrics.” When asked about the nine-year wait since her last album, she laughed, “Blame Fenty Beauty and these two little CEOs I’m raising!”
Motherhood: “It’s Chaos, But I’m Built for This”
The 36-year-old superstar got real about life with sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 9 months. “Nothing prepares you for the madness,” she admitted. “But seeing Rocky as a dad? That’s the hottest thing ever.” She also shut down rumors of expanding their family soon: “Two under two is enough for now—let me survive these diaper years first!”

You dance in the rain… or in our case, make pancakes at 2 a.m. and laugh it off.”
What’s Next?
Between her lingerie line, Fenty Beauty, and now finally new music, Rihanna insists she’s “not retiring until the world’s sick of me.” Spoiler: That’s never happening.
