Rihanna was in South Korea this week celebrating her new Fenty Beauty store, and spent time with Jennie Kim of BLACKPINK at the party. The duo posed for photos and cute selfies together, and fans raved over the snapshots, demanding a collaboration.
The link-up would be timely, as RiRi has been working on her upcoming ninth album, which remains without a release date though she recently gave some details as to what fans can expect from the reggae record. “So far it’s just been R9, thanks to the Navy,” Rihanna stated of the project’s name. “I’m about to call it that probably, ’cause they have haunted me with this ‘R9, R9, when is R9 coming out?’ How will I accept another name after that’s been burned into my skull?”
