Rihanna References R9 On Instagram Live Ft. Diplo Song

rihanna-r9-album

February 13, 2021. Leave a Comment

Rihanna got her fans attention this morning when she took to Instagram Live to publish a short video of herself in a bikini featuring a Diplo face filter.

More significantly, she tagged the video with #R9 her fans name for her ninth studio album. The video was accompanied by Diplo‘s 2020 track, “Looking for Me.”

Diplo reposted the video on his own Instagram feed where he expressed pleasant surprise with a caption reading, “This happened today.”

It’s hard to say what message Rihanna was sending by choosing Diplo’s song. Certainly her fans have been looking for music. Some think the song points at a possible collaboration between Rihanna and Diplo (real name Thomas Pentz). However, the two artists have yet to work together and Rihanna once famously described Diplo’s take on reggae as sounding “like a reggae song at an airport.”

Rihanna subsequently apologized for the jab and there were rumors way back in 2018 via producer Alesso that Rihanna planned to make a dance music album and was working with Diplo, Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Martin Garrix. Not long after, he walked back the statement.

Bolstering signs Rihanna is planning to drop new music, Puerto Rican reggaeton rapper Bad Bunny (real name Benito Ocasio) also referenced Rihanna on Instagram where he posted an image of her in a bikini backed by “Dákiti,” a single released in October 2020.

Interesting this is popping up less than a week after Fenty was shuttered. Perhaps clearing some space for a big new project??

The Essentials capsule features denim, tops, undies and socks with nary a pair of skinny jeans in sight! Lots of references to Preston's signature color, which is orange. 

One interesting detail, the items are packaged in paper bags rather than problematic plastic. 

No sizing or pricing yet, but this capsule will launch on April 23rd on Calvin Klein's e-commerce site.
Nike and Kobe Bryant's estate have chosen not to g Nike and Kobe Bryant's estate have chosen not to go forward with their contract. Nike has issued a statement reading as follows: "Kobe Bryant was an important part of Nike’s deep connection to consumers. He pushed us and made everyone around him better. Though our contractual relationship has ended, he remains a deeply loved member of the Nike family."

Vanessa Bryant, who was said to be unhappy with how Nike handled releases after he passed in January of last year (see ESPN note on slide), also weighed in on Ig stories: "Kobe Bryant was an important part of Nike's deep connection to consumers. He pushed us and made everyone around him better. Though our contractual relationship has ended, he remains a deeply loved member of the Nike family."

Allegedly, Bryant was considering moving on from Nike before his death. According to friend and investor Shervin Pishevar, Bryant wasn’t happy with his Nike deal and discussed launching an independent sneaker company called Mamba.
