Rihanna Says ‘God Had Other Plans’ For Her Beyond Making Music

Rihanna Says ‘God Had Other Plans’ For Her Beyond Making Music

On Thursday, Rihanna was in Barbados, her home country, for a Fenty Beauty event. It was clearly an emotional moment for the star, because she decided to give a speech discussing her career and life trajectory over the last decade.

In her reflections, Rihanna said, “I always say music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me.”

She continued, “I was able to create in other ways that were very sincere, genuine, organic and authentic to the things that I love so it doesn’t even feel like a job. But when you bring it home, I can express to you guys what this day means for me to be able to celebrate with the people that deserve it the most.”

In February 2023, Rihanna performed at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, simultaneously revealing she was expecting her second child. The star welcomed her first son, RZA, in May 2022 with boyfriend A$AP Rocky. Riot Rose was born in August 2023. While her last album, ANTI, came out eight years ago, the star has released tracks for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, “Born Again” and “Lift Me Up.”
In addition to her Fenty Beauty empire, the star has created her lingerie line, Savage x Fenty, and the newer Fenty Skin, a skincare brand. Her fashion line co-owns with French luxury retailer LVMH and she is the creative director of Puma. She became an official billionaire in 2021.

In September of that year, she spoke with The New York Times about her new financial status.

“It’s tricky because it’s hard to even accept that’s where you’re at because I know where I’ve come from,” she said. “At the same time, it feels good to be able to inspire young women and boys, who like me, come from humble beginnings, who come from parents who are immigrants or who are immigrants themselves, to be able to do this.”source

Rihanna Brings the Heat as ‘Mother Nature’ as She Opens Her Savage X Fenty Fashion Show

Rihanna Brings the Heat as ‘Mother Nature’ as She Opens Her Savage X Fenty Fashion Show

Motherhood looks good on Rihanna.

The new mom, who welcomed her first baby in May with A$AP Rocky, channels Mother Earth and Mother Nature for her Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4, opening the show (out now on Prime Video) in style, surrounded by nature.

After an intro to “See You Again” by Tyler, The Creator, the music switches to “D.M.B.” by A$AP Rocky, 34, while Rihanna emerges. Wearing a blue corset with floral detail, sheer gloves and stockings and a black tulle shrug, Rihanna moves to the music while showing off the lingerie. Her hair is left natural while her lips and eyelids are painted in gold.

Leaning into the Mother Nature vibe, Rihanna, 34, also swings around leafy vines and dances among the forest-like backdrop.

When Rocky originally dropped the song earlier this year — an abbreviation for “Dat’s My B—-” — Rihanna appeared in the video for him, making it clear the song was dedicated to her. It was only fitting for her to use the song for her appearance in her brand’s show.

Ahead of the show airing, Rihanna told PEOPLE that she considers her appearance in her show to be in the “Mother Nature section.”

“I’m looking forward to [people seeing] it,” Rihanna told PEOPLE. “It’s my first real thing that I’ve done since I had the baby, work-wise.”

The show came before Rihanna released her new song, “Lift Me Up,” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack on Oct. 28. Even though it’s the fourth showcase of her Savage X Fenty designs, she told PEOPLE “every single show” feels as special as the first.

“I love seeing new bodies, new silhouettes, new personalities, new characters, new energies,” she said. “I just enjoy seeing people celebrate their body, celebrate who they are — and they just happen to be wearing Savage. That’s exciting.”

Rihanna recruited a star-studded list of names to take part in her show, which was filmed in October in Los Angeles. Also appearing are Cara Delevingne — who rocked bleached brows with her lingerie — Simu Liu, Precious Lee, Irina ShaykJoan Smalls and Johnny Depp.

TMZ first reported that Depp would make a celebrity cameo in the upcoming fashion show, though the trailer for Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 did not feature Depp or tease his appearance.

Following the announcement, Years & Years singer Olly Alexander — who has been a model for Savage X Fenty — posted on social media that he “won’t be wearing” the brand any longer.

The British singer previously wore Svage X Fenty, including in ads for the brand that he shared on Instagram. He showed off the brand’s Valentine’s Day collection in February this year, writing, “your love is a hallucination.” Alexander also showed off another collection last October, writing, “let me be your fantasy,” alongside the steamy shots.

The Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4 is now streaming on Prime Video.
