In a delightful twist at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York, pop star Rihanna and WNBA star Angel Reese might have struck a chord for an exciting collaboration.
After capturing the moment on a selfie video, Reese, who also raps, made her move by expressing her desire to work together on music. Without missing a beat, Rihanna enthusiastically replied, “Let’s do it! I’m always ready!” This brief exchange has fans buzzing with anticipation.
Reacting to this thrilling interaction, Reese took to social media, sharing her excitement by tweeting, “I literally manifest everything.” The post quickly garnered attention, fueling speculation about a potential musical team-up.
Rihanna, meanwhile, has been hinting at a possible retreat from the music scene to focus on her ventures outside the industry. Just weeks before her encounter with Reese, she suggested retiring from music, as her entrepreneurial projects in lingerie and skincare gain prominence.
Speaking at a Fenty Beauty event in Barbados, Rihanna shared, “Music was the thing that got the attention. But God had other plans for me,” reflecting on her journey and the fulfilling opportunity to create authentically.
This possible transition is not entirely surprising, given Rihanna’s last album release was in 2016. Since then, her musical contributions have been limited, one of which includes her work on the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack in 2022.
In addition to her professional ventures, Rihanna, alongside boyfriend A$AP Rocky, has been enjoying family life with their two young children, RZA and Riot Rose. Balancing fame and family adds another layer to her intriguing narrative.
While Rihanna’s musical future remains uncertain, the prospect of collaborating with Angel Reese offers a glimmer of hope for fans eager for new tunes. Whether this collaboration comes to fruition or not, the exchange highlights the spontaneous connections that continue to shape Rihanna’s ever-evolving career.
