Rihanna has brutal response to fan insulting her appearance while asking for new music

The hitmaker made it clear she doesn't suffer fools gladly

Rihanna might have been partial to a 'Rude Boy' back in the day, but she's got no time for any rude fans flooding her comment section.

The Barbadian singer and businesswoman has gone viral after she hilariously clapped back with a brutal response, when she spotted a social media user taking aim at her appearance.

As she hasn't dropped an album since releasing Anti back in January 2016, her fans are constantly pleading with her to drop some new music.

And to be fair, it has been a long nine years without any new Rihanna bops - but as this person found out the hard way, there's a certain way you should go about asking the singer for some fresh material.

Otherwise, she might end up absolutely roasting you in front of her 150million Instagram followers.

Earlier this week, Rihanna, 36, shared a post on the social media platform showing how she celebrated the end of 2024 on 31 December with her loved ones.

She was seen clutching an iPhone in her hands which displayed the countdown to midnight, as she excited shouted: "Four, three, two, one...Happy New Year!"

The 'SOS' hitmaker, who welcomed her first son RZA in May 2022 and her second born Riot in August 2023 with rapper fiancé A$AP Rocky, 36 - then added: "Ya'll, I didn't drink all year!"

The short clip was captioned: "New Year, New Me".

Although most fans rushed to the comment section of Rihanna's post to wish her a happy and healthy 2025, there were a few who were gunning for the musician.

One person wrote: "Yeah, you didn’t drop any music all year either!"

Another joked: "I thought it was the countdown for the album drop."

And a third extremely bold user added: "We want an album forehead."

Poking fun at her forehead proved to be the comment which broke the camels back, as Rihanna then decided to fire back with a dig of her own.

Comically, the Savage X Fenty boss responded: "Listen Lorenzo! You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy f**k!"

I mean, we all knew Rihanna was multi-talented, with her being a boss businesswoman, an award-winning musician and an incredible actress.

But her ability to silence a critic so well still managed to impress social media users.

Then again, what did Lorenzo expect when he came for someone who's username is @badgalriri?

Still, Rihanna's fans who have managed to bite their tongues in her comment section are hoping the delay in new tunes might be a case of 'good things come to those who wait'.

In April last year, the star revealed she had been back in the recording studio working on some new stuff, while promising it is going to 'be amazing'.

"It's gonna be amazing," she told EXTRA. "It has to be - that is the only reason it's not out yet.

"If I'm not feeling it and I'm not feeling like it represents the evolution, the time I spent away. There should be a show of growth, right?

"I want to play, and I feel like music is a playground, and I want to have fun with it and show truly where I am at."

We've been thrown a few bones here and there over the years, such as when the singer worked on the tracks 'Born Again' and 'Lift Me Up' for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.

But it seems nothing but a new album will satiate the appetite of her adoring fans.

So, keep your fingers crossed for Rihanna's return sometime in 2025, eh?
