After reportedly splitting from long-time boyfriend Hassan Jameel in January, Rihanna says she is all set to spend this year’s Valentine’s Day working on her highly-anticipated R9 album.

“I’m going to be in the studio,” says the 31-year-old pop star.

“I’m so excited actually. I can’t say who I’m working with, but it’s somebody I’ve been wanting to work with him for a long time.”

When pushed to disclose the music star she would be working with, she finally mentioned that it’s Pharrell.

Fenty, which was founded in September 2017, generated an estimated $570 million in revenue in 2018.
