27 Things That Have Happened Since Rihanna's Last Album, 'ANTI'

It's been four grueling years of no new music from Rihanna.

The world's wealthiest female musician hasn't been making a lot of music lately.

It's officially been four years since our majesty Robyn Rihanna Fenty released her eighth and most recent album, ANTI. That's not to say she hasn't been busy—she is running her own lines of makeup and lingerie, after all.

But no matter how successful, Rihanna's recent business and acting endeavors could never satisfy our need for her music. A lot has happened since January 2016, and we're long overdue for another record to soundtrack all our bad b*tch and sad b*tch moments.

To evidence just how much time has passed, here are 27 things that have happened since Rihanna released ANTI.

  1. Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar.

  2. Prince and David Bowie died just months apart from each other.
  3. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt divorced.
  4. One Direction broke up, and each member released a solo album.
  5. Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris.
  6. Beyoncé debuted her visual album Lemonade on HBO.
  7. Ryan Lochte lied about being robbed in Rio.

  16. Peppa Pig also took over the world.
  17. Kendall Jenner starred in both a really tone-deaf Pepsi commercial and a really weird Lil Dicky music video.
