New year, same olβ Rihanna. The queen of social media clapbacks is making sure people know she still reigns supreme thanks to a hilarious exchange with an online troll.
The conversation took place in the comment section under a video she posted of herself and friends on New Yearβs Eve. As they counted down the clock and celebrated, Rihanna subsequently yelled at the camera: βYβall I didnβt drink all year, I didnβt drink all year!β

As the clip began to circulate online, many folks went under the post to wish the βDiamondsβ singer a happy New Year while others took the opportunity to express their desire for new music after all this time. And while that sentiment was prevalent throughout the comments, one userβs words stood out from among the rest and prompted the Barbadian bad gal to respond.
βWe want an album forehead,β the user wrote while making fun of Rihβs head.
Once the Grammy-nominated singer saw it, she replied in kind: βListen Lorenzo! You ainβt cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy fuck!β
As we (and the rest of the world) have told you, itβs been fourscore and seven hundred nearly nine years since the βLoveee Songβ singer has blessed her fans with a new project. The closest we got was βLift Me Upβ back in 2022, which was created for the βBlack Panther: Wakanda Foreverβ soundtrack and earned a subsequent Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
But outside of that, Rihβs been spending her time raising her two sons and building her growing beauty and lifestyle brand (Fenty Hair, anyone?) And while sheβs hinted that sheβs been in the studio and that sheβs been sitting on songs and trying to work things out for a new albumβweβd all be smart not to get our hopes up in this new year.
Rihanna moves on Rihannaβs time, so weβre all just going to have to continue to be patient.
