While fans have been salivating for a new album, Rihanna, 32, has been less focused on music and more focused on social issues and her beauty and fashion empire.
She even went as far as to send a video message to fans that she had more important matters than new music to tend to, as previously reported by theGrio.
“If one of y’all motherf—–s ask me about the album one more time when I’m trying to save the world, unlike y’all President… [chuckles] on sight!” she said with tongue in cheek.
Rihanna’s world-saving efforts include her $4.2 million donation with Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles for domestic abuse victims during COVID-19 and an undisclosed donation of PPE to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The superstar has also built an inclusive conglomerate with her Fenty Beauty cosmetics products and her Savage X Fenty lingerie company. She regularly uses women of all colors, complexions and body types to showcase her fashion line and make-up products.
She recently spoke with rapper A$AP Rocky in a video for GQ about the importance of representation.
“I wish the leaders of the beauty industry were a more diverse set of pioneers who have not just experienced the culture but have experienced a negligence in the industry whether it comes to their skin tone or skin type,” Rihanna said. “I feel like there’s so many voids to be filled and we will only know that by the pioneers that have experienced those voids, and the lack of their representation in the industry.”
