Rihanna is reportedly gearing up for her long awaited return to music, with plans said to include a series of major stadium shows taking place in summer 2026.
The 37 year old Umbrella singer was previously rumoured to be planning a live comeback in 2025, but those unconfirmed tour plans were scrapped due to her pregnancy. New reports now suggest that Rihanna, who welcomed her third child in September, is finally preparing to return to the stage and has several large scale UK dates in the works.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “She had to pull the shows she had lined up at London Stadium last summer because she was expecting her daughter.
“Rihanna has absolutely loved motherhood and has stayed incredibly busy building her Fenty fashion empire, but music is where her heart truly lies. She feels ready to step back on stage and wants fans to finally hear the material she has been creating.
“This is shaping up to be a huge year for Rihanna and the shows are expected to be on a massive scale. They will sell out without question.”
According to the publication, the UK dates are expected to take place in August, marking a decade since Rihanna last toured with her Anti World Tour in 2016.
Her most recent major live appearance came at the Super Bowl LVII halftime show in Glendale, Arizona in 2023, when she was pregnant with her second child with rapper A$AP Rocky.
Rihanna and Rocky are now parents to sons RZA, three, and Riot, two, along with their daughter Rocki, who is four months old. The singer has also recently joked about the idea of expanding her family further.
She made light of the subject in a comment on an Instagram video shared by Love Island alum Montana Brown, 30. In the clip, the reality star, who has two children with her fiancé Mark O’Connor, debated whether to “get hot and sexy or get pregnant in 2026”.
Responding in the comments on Monday January 12 2026, Rihanna wrote: “Wait! So I’m not crazy then? Bet!”
Rihanna and Rocky first crossed paths while rehearsing for a performance at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards, although their relationship did not begin until 2020. They welcomed Rocki into the world in September 2025, and Rihanna is clearly enjoying life as a mother of three.
The nine time Grammy Award winner recently told Extra: “The babies are amazing. They’re all growing so fast and I can’t handle it. My sons, oh my God, their faces are changing. Their necks are getting longer. I love it".

Blueface is back in the headlines after once again putting his romantic life on public display. The rapper took to X to announce that Neveah Akira has been officially removed from what he refers to as his “roster,” saying she failed to meet the standards of his self described system. “Neveah has been cut from the roster she did not make the team this is a dictatorship not a democracy,” Blueface wrote on X.
The post quickly caught attention online, with fans trying to understand what “waiting her turn” even looks like in Blueface’s world. Some brushed it off as another chapter in his ongoing relationship drama, while others took issue with the way he continues to speak about women publicly, comparing his dating life to a competition rather than an actual relationship.
Things become even more complicated when looking at how everything unfolded over the past year. Following his release from prison, Blueface was briefly connected to reality television personality Hazel-E. That situation ended just as publicly, with Blueface announcing their breakup online and bluntly stating that she was “too old” for him. Hazel-E, who is 45, did not let the remark slide and later responded during a No Jumper interview. She called the rapper “zesty” and criticized his behavior, prompting Blueface to fire back by claiming she did not feel that way when they were allegedly still involved.
Not long after that exchange, Blueface was seen spending time with Neveah Akira, leading many fans to assume Hazel-E was firmly in the past. Now, with Neveah seemingly out of the picture as well, it appears the rapper’s revolving door of relationships is still very much in motion.
At this point, Blueface’s personal life feels like a reality series unfolding in real time, with every post treated like a new episode. Whether this latest declaration actually lasts or turns into another reversal remains unclear, but one thing is obvious. Blueface continues to know exactly how to keep people watching and talking.
