Rihanna Says She Has 170 Unreleased Songs and the Navy Is Losing It

Rihanna hopped on a Fenty Beauty TikTok Live Wednesday and dropped a number that broke the internet: 170 unreleased songs. She compared her collection to a vault, saying if there are 10 products in a vault, she has at least 17 vaults. That’s seventeen albums worth of music just sitting there while the Navy continues its decade-long wait for a follow-up to“ANTI,”which dropped in January 2016.

There are signs the drought might end soon. A$AP Rocky said in August that Rihanna was back in the studio. Her most recent release was 2025’s“Friend of Mine”for the“Smurfs Movie”soundtrack. But Rihanna herself has been clear that whatever she’s working on won’t be commercial or radio friendly. She said it’s going to be where her artistry deserves to be right now, which suggests she’s making exactly what she wants without worrying about charts.

So the big question remains. Is an album actually coming, or is Rihanna just sitting on a goldmine for fun? With 170 tracks in the vault, she clearly has the material. The only thing missing is a release date. What do you think? Is the Navy finally getting fed, or are we still years away?
