Rihanna Confirms Drake Will Not Appear on her Upcoming Reggae Album

If you were hoping for a Rihanna and Drake collaboration on her upcoming album, kiss that dream goodbye.

In an interview the New York Times’ T Magazine, Riri opens up about her upcoming reggae album, R9. The interviewer asked if she had any collaborations with her ex, Drake, on this collection or any projects in the works and she shut that all the way down. “Not anytime soon, I don’t see it happening. Not on this album, that’s for sure,” Rihanna said.

Aside from being romantically connected, the pair have joined forces to make smash hits like “Work,” “Take Care,” and their first collab ever, “What’s My Name?”

Exclusive: A first look at #Rihanna's new fashion line @Fenty, created in partnership with #LVMH. For her next act, the pop star will become the first black woman in charge of a major luxury fashion house in Paris. Here, @badgalriri opens up about what this means to her: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “You’re going to be black wherever you go. And I don’t know if it’s unfortunate or fortunate, because I love being black. So, sorry for those who don’t like it — that’s the first thing you see before you even hear my voice. There are also other factors: I’m young. I’m new to the family. I’m a woman. Those factors do come into play, but I will not apologize for them, and I will not back down from being a woman, from being black, from having an opinion. I’m running a company and that’s exactly what I came here to do. I don’t know if it makes people uncomfortable or not, but that’s not even my business, you know? I do know that the reason I’m here is not because I’m black. It’s because of what I have to offer. That’s what they’re invested in. And the fact that I’m black is just that: a fact.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Click the link in our bio for Rihanna's full conversation with the playwright @JeremyOHarris, and to see more exclusive images of her new clothing line.
