A$AP Rocky Says Rihanna Is Back in the Studio
Rihanna is a very famous singer who has not made a full album in almost ten years.
Her last full album, called Anti, came out in 2016.
Her partner, a rapper named A$AP Rocky, said on a podcast that she is in the recording studio right now.
He joked that he would probably "get in trouble" for sharing the news.
He also said the two are not making an album together.
Fans have been waiting a very long time for her new music.
During those years, Rihanna built businesses like Fenty Beauty and a lingerie brand, and she has three children.
Last year she said she finally found the direction she wanted for her new album.
She said she could not release anything "mediocre" after such a long wait.
Now fans are excited that her music comeback might really be coming soon.
A$AP Rocky revealed on The Jason Lee Podcast that Rihanna is "in the studio" working on new music.
Rihanna has not released a studio album since Anti in 2016, nearly a decade ago.
Rocky dismissed speculation that the couple are working on a joint album.
Rihanna has released standalone singles such as Lift Me Up for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever while fans wait for a full album.
Rihanna told Harper's Bazaar last year she had "finally cracked" the direction for her new record.
