Rihanna Finally Releases A Song Titled ‘'Friend Of Mine'' But It's Not What Fans Expected
Subscribe to our FREE Barbadian singer and businesswomen Rihanna has not released music for almost nine years. To put the gap years into perspective, her last album ANTI was released in 2016! Her fans have been asking for her to drop new songs. However, she has always kept them waiting while she focused on her cosmetics line, Fenty Beauty, her lingerie and activewear band, Savage x Fenty, and growing her family. She last announced the makings of her upcoming album R9, a fan-given nickname for her ninth studio album, in 2020, and there was not much news since. Imagine her fans' excitement when she dropped a new song and a music video for the upcoming Smurfs movie. Many were expecting another hit song or a dancey track from the queen but the song 'Friend Of Mine'' was as catchy but a little different from Rihanna's sound, so-to-speak. In the whole song, Rihanna sings one line ''feel like a friend of mine'' repeatedly. Since the movie is aimed at young children and families, it's understandable that RiRi has to keep the song simple, memorable, and PG. However, this drew amused comments from her adult fans who have waited for her to drop a new track after all these years. A YouTube user jokingly wrote, 'yall want music, yall ain't say what kind'' while another person believes the singer was just dropping by the studio for a visit when she was called in to record a line. Someone else thanked Rihanna for the ''voice note'' in the song while another user admitted they knew they were being trolled when they saw Rihanna smiling in the beginning of the video. Nevertheless, the reception to the song was positive with some praising the song for being versatile. It's not the first time Rihanna recorded a song for a kids movie. She previously sang ' Share your thoughts with us via TRP's . Get more stories like this to your inbox by signing up for our newsletter.

Rihanna Elevates Maternity Style at Cannes in a Dramatic Black Cut-Out Dress
Rihanna proves yet again that she's the queen of pregnancy style. On Tuesday night in Cannes, France, the superstar stepped out for a date night with A$AP Rocky in a floor-length, one-shoulder black cut-out gown with a high leg slit. She accessorized with a black clutch, black heels, gold jewelry, and loose, wavy hair. Rocky wore a brown trench coat, black shoes, and shades. The couple first announced that they were expecting their third child at this year's Met Gala. They already have two sons, RZA and Riot Rose. Earlier this week, they appeared at the Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Rocky's upcoming film, Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest. There, the beauty mogul wore another cut-out gown in baby blue (possibly nodding to her upcoming summer movie, Smurfs). She wore her hair in a high bun with a side bang and accessorized with blue stilettos. Rihanna recently made her return to music when she released a new single, 'Friend of Mine,' for the Smurfs movie soundtrack last week. She first promoted the film back in February when she posted a teaser on Instagram with the caption, 'in my blue era 👀💙.' The movie will be released on July 18. In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar, Rihanna spoke about her relationship with music and what she wants to do for her next solo album. 'I think music is my freedom,' she said. 'I just came to that realization. I just cracked the code on what I really want to do for my next body of work. I am actually feeling really good about this.'

French town breaks world record with gathering of over 3,000 Smurfs
A small French town has broken the world record for the largest gathering of people dressed up as Smurfs. Landerneau, a town in Western France with a population of 16,000, has succeeded at the third try in its attempt to take the unique record from Lauchringen in Germany - which had brought together 2,762 Smurfs in 2019. The French town set a new benchmark last weekend as 3,076 people assembled clad in blue outfits topped with white hats and the singing of "smurfy songs". Landerneau's mayor Patrick Leclerc dressed up in Smurf attire and claimed that the event "brings people together and gives them something else to think about than the times we're living in". Pascal Soun, the head of the association behind the gathering, said that it "allows people to have fun and enter an imaginary world for a few hours". The Smurfs were grateful to have good weather this time around after last year's record attempt was scuppered by heavy rain that put many off attending.
