American singer Rihanna may have taken a sabbatical from making music, but is still making headlines for her generosity amid the coronavirus pandemic. Named as the "World's Richest Female Musician" by Forbes in 2019, with an estimated fortune of $600 million with the bulk of that coming from her Fenty beauty range, Riri was among the first bunch of celebs who actively donated during the ongoing crisis.
While Rihanna is adored by her loyal fans, given her candidness and free spirit, a Twitter user has juxtaposed the singerβs picture alongside some Indian food β making her look like a βsnackβ.
Rihanna recently conducted a "Fenty Social Club" party on Instagram Live. She told her fans and followers watching her at home to not bring up the album, reports eonline.com.
"If one of y'all ask me about the album one more time when I'm trying to save the world, unlike y'all president... on sight," the 32-year-old said during the live-stream, taking a jab at US President Donald Trump.
While the Grammy winner hasn't given fans a specific date for when she might release new music, she recently said in an interview that she is "aggressively working on music".
"I don't want my albums to feel like themes," she had told a magazine. "There are no rules. There's no format. There's just good music, and if I feel it, I'm putting it out."
The Clara Lionel Foundation, which the singer formed in 2012 in honour of her grandparents, announced in March that it donated $5 million to COVID-19 rapid response efforts in the US and across the globe.
The money donated will be distributed to local food banks serving high-risk communities and the elderly in the US and will also be used to promote acceleration of coronavirus testing and care in countries like Haiti and Malawi, as well as the mobilisation of resources and additional capacity and support for native communities.
