Rihanna continues to make her mark on music and culture, even without a new album on the horizon. Recently, she took to Instagram to share an incredible accomplishment in her career. She became the first-ever female artist to reach the impressive milestone of having ten songs with over one billion Spotify streams.
It’s been seven and a half years since Rihanna released her most recent album, ANTI, but her influence in the music industry remains strong. The 35-year-old entrepreneur has also ventured into other fields, such as Fenty Beauty/Skin and Savage x Fenty, showcasing her versatility and creative prowess. In addition to her business endeavors, Rihanna has been traveling the world and making headlines. She headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show, attracting more viewers than the game itself. Recently, she was spotted in Paris alongside A$AP Rocky, attending Pharrell’s debut show as Louis Vuitton’s menswear creative director. Currently, it seems that the duo is in Barbados, where Rocky has been filming a music video.
Rihanna took to Instagram to celebrate her significant achievement, sharing a few lines in the caption: “Bad Gal billi…/ wit no new album…/ lemme talk my shit.” In the comments section, Nicki Minaj, another influential figure in the industry, joined the celebration. She playfully responded to Rihanna’s caption with a quick freestyle of her own: “Not Bad Gal billi / Poppin st like a wheelie / I mean poppin like a pilly, like a really / Man Down ‘cuz she making a killy,” her bars began. “SILLY! / Bout to be pushin out a new kid like Gillie / Caribbean girls run it and AWWLLL these bches know da dilly ?. Okay bars ? ?? ?? #babydaddytellmeIGOTprettyeyes.”
