A$AP Rocky Gives Update on Rihanna’s Next Album: “She Cooking”

It seems Rihanna is at “work, work, work, work, work, work” on her next album.

With fans incredibly hungry for another album from the Grammy winner, especially since it’s been a decade since she released her last studio project, 2016’s Anti, her longtime partner, A$AP Rocky, is offering a little status update.

During a recent interview on The Jason Lee Show, the rapper was asked by host Jason Lee, “Are you the reason why we don’t have an album?” He was referencing the long-running joke among fans that the delay in new music was due to her relationship with Rocky, their growing family (they share three children) and Rihanna’s many business ventures.

However, Rocky shut down those claims. “Nah,” he replied. “She in the studio right now. Yeah, I said it. Sorry, babe.”He added, “Bro, she working. She cooking, no funny shit. Damn, I’mma get in trouble for this. Her fans are going to kill me.”

When Rihanna’s Anti dropped in 2016, it became a hit, spending two weeks atop the Billboard 200 chart. It also included her fan-favorite songs “Work,” “Needed Me,” “Love on the Brain” and “Desperado.”
