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.

Elton John has shared his family’s yearly summer playlist on the latest episode of his Rocket Hour show on Apple Music, with songs chosen together with his husband David Furnish and their sons, Zachary and Elijah.
During his appearance on Apple Music 1, the musician revealed that the family puts every song suggestion to a vote at home, with a track needing at least three votes before making the final cut. The playlist is packed with energetic songs, matching the family’s love for lively and feel good music throughout the summer.
The playlist brings together different generations and musical styles, combining iconic names from previous decades with newer electronic artists and dance music producers.
Among the songs chosen are Stevie Wonder’s "Higher Ground," Bob Marley & The Wailers' "Could You Be Loved," and Tom Petty’s "Runnin' Down A Dream." John also praised Petty’s music, describing the 1989 album Full Moon Fever as one of the greatest rock albums ever made.
Zachary and Elijah’s musical tastes are also represented, with the playlist featuring current UK club tracks alongside familiar reggae and pop favorites. John singled out "Free Your Mind," the collaboration between Leeds dance duo Prospa and producer Cloonee, as one song his sons especially enjoy.
The broadcast also features a mix of electronic and crossover sounds, including Peggy Gou and Ayra Starr’s "Wo, man," Jamie xx’s "Baddy On the Floor" featuring Honey Dijon, Barry Can’t Swim’s "Return To Bhibo," and Fisher’s reworking of Bob Sinclar’s "World, Hold On." Other artists included in the selection are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lykke Li, Groove Armada, Kacey Musgraves, Wiz Khalifa, and Role Model.
John noted that the songs played during the radio show are only part of the much larger playlist the family listens to during the summer.
The complete episode of Rocket Hour can be streamed on demand through Apple Music and Apple Podcasts.
