“I’m proud to have known Rihanna since the beginning of her career,” Sony/ATV head John Platt told Billboard while sharing the news. “Music, fashion, philanthropy and a heart of gold have solidified Rihanna’s position as one of the biggest icons in the world.”
The new publishing deal has fans convinced that Rih is on the verge of delivering her hotly anticipated new album. There are recent reports that her follow-up to 2016’s Anti could possibly arrive at the end of this year in December.
