As fans eagerly await new music from Rihanna—who hasn’t released a studio album since 2016’s Anti—some are becoming too bold in their requests.

On Wednesday, the superstar rang in 2025 with a celebratory Instagram video surrounded by friends. But one fan couldn’t resist commenting, “We want an album forehead.”.

Rihanna’s response was as sharp as ever: “Listen Lorenzo! You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy fuck!”. Her quick wit sent the internet into a frenzy, reminding everyone why her clapbacks are legendary.

This isn’t Rihanna’s first foray into viral internet spats. In 2011, she traded barbs with fellow singer Ciara, and in 2024, she hilariously shut down a political critic who took issue with her humour around voting.

While the Navy continues to wait (impatiently) for new music, Rihanna’s social media savvy and fiery comebacks ensure she remains the reigning queen of the internet.
