What’s up guys, it’s Sussan Mourad here with Clevver Music, and Ariana Grande has
broken yet another record and has beat out a popular female artist, as she’s now become
Spotify’s all-time top streaming artist!
Ariana Grande’s music has been streamed 20.5 billion times on Spotify, and while she
has taken to Instagram to celebrate the big news, she’s also taken it upon herself to
jokingly troll Rihanna, who happens to be the former title holder.
As we all know, Rihanna hasn’t released new music in years, and the Navy is getting
impatient, to say the least!
Ariana took to Instagram to celebrate the big achievement, writing “holy s**t thank
u all so much for listening and caring at all let alone this much.
i can’t wait to give u new things to listen to.
now can rihanna pls drop her album so she can rightfully snatch this back and fill my
ears again please or ....”
From one queen to another, honestly Rihanna we’re all begging you for the album at this
point…
And fans have taken to Twitter to share their reactions to the news.
One fan tweeted this hilarious picture and wrote, “Ariana: now can rihanna pls drop
her album so she can rightfully snatch this back and fill my ears again please or … Rihanna:”
And this fan is hoping for a collaboration between the two artists.
They tweeted, “i still hope that some day ariana and rihanna give us a collab.”
We can only dream about a collab at this point!
Ariana Grande has released three albums since Rihanna’s last album release, ‘Anti,’
in 2016.
With Ariana’s album drops, it only makes sense that she’d surpass Rihanna’s previously
held record.
And although Ari did release ‘Dangerous Woman,’ ‘Sweetener,’ and ‘Thank U,
Next’ within the past few years, her achievement is still a huge one, as she achieved this
major honor with only five album releases.
Rihanna, on the other hand, is focusing on her multiple other ventures, including makeup,
skincare, and lingerie.
She launched Fenty Skin last month, and when speaking with Entertainment Tonight, Rihanna
said that she’s quote, "always working on music."
And Riri further stated, “When I am ready to put it out in the way that I feel fit,
it’s gonna come out.
And you’re not going to be disappointed when it happens.
It’s going to be worth it."
Rihanna’s even gone so far as to troll her fans online regarding her unreleased album.
Most recently, she commented on TikToker Priscila Beatrice’s video who happens to look exactly
like Rihanna.
In the video, the Riri doppelganger styled her hair and makeup exactly like Rihanna did
when she won her first-ever fashion award for Fenty at The 2019 Fashion Awards.
The video made it onto The Shade Room, and Riri took the opportunity to comment on the
video and once again troll her fans, writing, “where the album sis?
#R9.” (file: Comment 1.png)
In true Rihanna fashion, she trolled the fan and left us all in a headspin!
Priscila Beatrice shared her reaction on Instagram, writing, ".. I still can't believe it !!! The
page @theshaderoom shared my video on their profile and THE OWN RIHANNA @badgalriri saw
my video and commented !!!! Do you know what I'm feeling right now ??? I can't stop crying
with emotion !!!! Of happiness!!!!!
It is a dream!!!
God is so wonderful !!!!!”
Fans have taken to Twitter to share their reactions to the interaction, with one fan
writing, “LOOOOOOL Rihanna commenting on her lookalike video with “where’s the
album sis” might be my favourite moment of 2020.”
This fan tweeted, “What.. are you gonna be a comedian now & ditch the music industry
riri?
Imagine how tired we are-”
And other fans have just about had it with the trolling, writing things like, “This
ain't funny anymore.
Give us the album,” “NO ONE LAUGHED WHERE IS THE ALBUM,” and “RIHANNA STOP PLAYING
WHERE IS THE ALBUM PLEASE END THE SUFFERING.”
So while the interaction warmed most of our hearts, it still doesn’t change the fact
that we still don’t know when Riri will drop the album.
But all we can do at this point is wait and cross our fingers.
And now I want to know what you think.
Is there any chance that Rihanna will drop R9 this year?
