Rihanna BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Rihanna is turning heads again as reports reveal she’s gearing up for a massive 2026 world tour to mark the 10th anniversary of her iconic Anti album. According to Rolling Stone UK and The Sun, Rihanna and her team were initially set to announce a 2025 comeback, with six shows in London scheduled for July, but she pulled the plug at the last minute due to production snags, scheduling clashes, and her feeling that the music wasn’t quite ready. This move broke fans’ hearts, but sources say she is now confident the stars will align for 2026, promising not just a nostalgic setlist but also new music she’s been crafting in the studio. The announcement is particularly impactful: if the tour goes as planned, it’ll be her first since 2016, a double milestone as she hasn’t released a full album since Anti, despite continuing to dominate charts and headlines.

Her personal life is no less eventful—currently, Rihanna is expecting her third child with A$AP Rocky. She’s been spotted out with her two boys, RZA and Riot, including a recent public appearance at the premiere of the Smurfs movie, where she voices Smurfette. Rihanna’s voice is front and center in the soundtrack of that film, where her single Friend of Mine dropped earlier this year—her first new solo song in a while, offering fans a taste of the Afrobeats-inspired direction she could explore next. Rihanna has also made news for taking time to visit Barbados, her homeland, to attend her father Ronald Fenty’s memorial service after his passing from pancreatic cancer in May.

On the business front, Rihanna’s Fenty empire isn’t slowing down; she officially announced the launch of Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin in India, expanding her global beauty dominion and reminding everyone she’s a force beyond music. Social media remains ablaze with speculation about a possible November 2025 comeback, but so far, the chatter is unconfirmed rumor—Rihanna told Extra at her Fenty Hair launch that she is absolutely not retired, despite past teasing outfits, and is taking her time so her new work will “matter.” For now, all eyes are on her next moves, her long-awaited ninth album, and the promise of a return to the world stage that could easily become the most significant moment in pop culture for years to come.
