On a Fenty Beauty TikTok live on October 7, 2026, Rihanna said she has at least 170 unreleased songs, her first real music update since Anti in 2016. A day later she described the same material as at least 17 vaults, and the two counts are now being read against each other. Reports also say Jay-Z's Ventures is nearing a deal to buy out LVMH's 50% stake in Fenty Beauty, with an announcement expected in the coming weeks. The discussion weighs whether an album ever arrives and what a 50-50 Jay-Z and Rihanna Fenty would mean.
