Despite not having a new album out, Rihanna has become the first female artist to have 10 songs surpass a billion plays on Spotify, and she is only too happy to brag about her accomplishment.
One of the first publications to report the achievement noted that the Bajan beauty pulled off this seemingly impossible feat despite the fact that she hasn’t released a new album since 2016’s ANTI.
RiRi responded by celebrating on Instagram on Friday, June 30. ‘Bad Gal Billi…’no new album…She wrote, “Let me talk my sh*t,” and for emphasis she included an emoji of the Barbados flag.
The singer’s friend and supporter Nicki Minaj added some of her own bars to the comments area. “Man down cuz she creating a Killy!!! Not bad gal Billi poppin shit like a wheelie/ I mean Poppin like a pilly/ Like really/ A new child like Gillie is about to be replaced by Caribbean girls running it, and AWWLLL these girls know their stuff.
The wealthy and soon-to-be mother of two has recently completed another enormous feat. She won the title of America’s Richest Self-Made Musician last month, besting Beyoncé, Madonna, and even Taylor Swift.
In its annual self-made list, Forbes recognized female business leaders, CEOs, and entertainers. The richest self-made female musician in the US is Rihanna, who placed 20th overall. The outlet claims that RiRi is the lone billionaire on the musician’s list with a net worth of $1.4 billion.
With a net worth of $740 million, Taylor Swift, who placed 40th overall, is America’s second-richest self-made female musician. Beyoncé is the fourth-richest, with a net worth of $540 million, followed by Madonna (45th overall), who is third-richest with a net worth of $580 million.
Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand, and Celine Dion were among the other musicians on the list.
Rihanna’s position at the top of Forbes’ list of American self-made female musicians comes as no surprise. At the age of 34, she surpassed Kylie Jenner’s prior record (which the outlet later exposed to be a false claim) to become the youngest billionaire to appear on the Forbes list.
