The irony here is that Rihanna has kept her fans waiting for new music since 2016. If there's any artist who understands waiting, it's her (and possibly Frank Ocean).

Rihanna's direct message circulated widely on social media, amusing many fans with the singer's enthusiasm. The message is ironic as Rihanna is often the one leaving fans waiting for new music, uncertain of its release date.

"You got all summer sis," Rihanna messaged GloRilla. "I know dis wild hypocritical, but when the album drop?"

It's quite surprising to compare the release dates of Rihanna's and GloRilla's recent projects. Rihanna released "Anti" in 2016, as mentioned earlier. Meanwhile, GloRilla released a mixtape in April this year! She released "Ehhthang Ehhthang" on streaming platforms, featuring the popular single "Wanna Be."

In fact, every musical piece from GloRilla has been released after Rihanna's last album.
