Rihanna was seen baring it all in an off-the-cuff style advertisement for her Savage X Fenty underwear and bra lines. In the short clip, Rihanna is seen walking around in public with her friends wearing a plaid skirt and light blue top. Shortly after strutting her stuff, she decides to give her friends a quick peek at the cheeks. The entrepreneurial icon is going quite viral right now because of it, and its why her brand is so widespread. Since sharing the 22 second clip to X (formerly Twitter) in the early evening yesterday, it has been watched over 46.6 million times, has 334,000 likes, 26,000 reshares, and over 5,000 comments. Also helping this post become so likeable is Rihanna's relatable caption, "since I clearly won’t be achieving my six pack til next summer, I switched my summer goal to matching my shoes to my panties! ??♀️".
This prompted a lot of fans to chime in on how they feel the same way about their fitness. "Same sista. I fumbled the abs", one user writes". Of course, the failed six-pack is not deterring anyone from pointing out how good Rihanna's backside looks. "That booootyyy thoooo", another adds. Others seem to be trapped too hard with one person penning, "I watched this way too many times already".
While Rihanna was receiving tons of love and praise for this cheeky ad, you knew some were going to ask about new music. "Switch your summer goal to releasing an album", one bluntly states. Everyone knows it's seemed like a millennium since Rihanna gave us her last LP ANTI. Sure, she has popped up for a few features and singles here and there. But no one will be satisfied until a full-length release hits the market.
What are your thoughts on Rihanna flashing the cameras in her spontaneous ad for her Fenty X Savage underwear? Do you think this is a good way for her to market her brand? Will she ever drop a new album this year, or ever again? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Oliver Tree’s team has provided a new update following the singer’s death in a helicopter crash on June 14, confirming that a new artist grant will soon be established in his memory to help creatives secure funding, a plan he had detailed in his will before his passing.
Accompanying a collection of photos highlighting Tree’s performances, travels and creative work through the years, a post shared Sunday (June 21) on his Instagram account revealed that the musician’s remains have been brought back to California, the state he called home and where he will be laid to rest. “His legacy will live on through his foundation/endowment named ‘Dr. Oliver Tree’s Extremely Epic Grant For Baby Geniuses’ coming soon,” the caption reads. “This is something that Oliver had put together before his passing.”
“We will make sure his wish comes to fruition so that more joy, love and art can be spread into the world, that was his final wish,” the statement continued, adding that “the constant love, support and positivity” shown by fans throughout the past week has helped his “family, friends and collaborators make it through these extremely difficult times.”
Tree was among six people who lost their lives in a helicopter collision in Rio de Janeiro. The musician was in Brazil for his The World’s First Tour run and had performed what would ultimately be his final concert on June 6 in São Paulo. The other victims of the crash were identified as passengers Lucas Vignale, Gaspar Prim and Lucas Brito Chaves, along with pilots Alexandre Souza and Charles Marsillac.
Just months before his death, Tree discussed his plans to direct his fortune and future earnings from his music toward a grant program for artists during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show. “I take no credit for anything I’ve ever done,” he said during the April interview. “Furthermore, I don’t believe that any of the wealth or things that get made from it is mine. So when I die … my will is set up so that when I pass, my family, nobody is going to get a penny.”
“If I have a wife or kids or anything, they’re not getting a penny,” he added at the time, explaining that the initiative would focus on helping artists create work rather than funding education. “I’ll get my kids through college, that’s the agreement, but there’s not gonna be a silver spoon. All the money is going to go back to artists.”
