Rihanna fans are not going to be happy about this.

Just a couple of days ago, music fans were going to be getting something so exciting. We are talking about a Rihanna world tour. The Mirror ran a report saying that the R&B superstar shook hands on a massive deal with Live Nation. According to them, the deal was $20 million plus and it was going to be in 2024-2025. Additionally, she is also sitting on two albums.

Apparently, though, we had the wool pulled over our eyes. According to a recent article from Billboard, a high source says it is totally "bogus." The $39 million contract never went through, meaning no tour dates were ever in place either. "No tour has been confirmed for Rihanna," says the source.

It Is A Sad Day To Be A Rihanna Fan

Of course, there are reasons as to why this could never happen. Rihanna recently gave birth to her and A$AP Rocky's second child, Riot Rose. On top of that, we all know how involved she is with clothing, makeup, and every other avenue. It is extremely disheartening news as music and RiRi fans will have to continue to be patient. At least she put on a terrific show at the Super Bowl last year.

What are your initial thoughts on this source saying that Rihanna's world tour is "bogus?" If this remains true, should Rihanna fans be upset? Do you think she will ever go on tour, or drop another album ever again? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
