RIHANNA has fans taken aback by her bizarre outfit for a Puma ad, and they demanded her next album be released.

While the singer has been focused on her FENTY x PUMA collection and other clothing and beauty lines, she’s appeared to put her music career on the back burner.

Fans have been getting antsy about when Rihanna, 36, will release her ninth studio album, given the Needed Me singer’s last full-length project, ANTI, dropped in 2016.

Their frustrations heightened on Thursday when the performer shared photos and a video on Instagram of her donning a massive shrub-style ensemble for the shoe ad.

Some pics captured the mother of two lounging in a grassy field wearing a top that appeared to be made out of green leaves, perfectly blending into the ground.

Others showed the star in an even wilder getup of a head-to-toe look that resembled a tree as she balanced on a giant tire.

Rihanna captioned the post, “Down to earth. New #creeperphatty out now.”

The video showed the Umbrella singer in more interesting nature-inspired attire, though it focused more on her footwear.

She captioned it, “Earth tone. New creeper phatty coming at ya right now puma.com and select retailers.”

However, fans weren’t excited about the launch and instead flooded the comments with pleas for Rihanna to release more music.

“Quit playing hide n seek with my emotions! Where’s the album!” a third demanded.

Rihanna stop crawling on the grass and crawl back to the studio please,” added a fourth.

“Be grass or drop the album,” a fifth sarcastically said, while others complained the Barbadian singer would “do anything but give us new music.”

Earlier this week, fans were convinced that Rihanna would “never release a new album” after noticing a major change on her Instagram page.

The actress had updated her profile photo from a stick figure doodled face to a Fenty product against a sunset background.

Fans voiced their thoughts about the changeup on X, formerly Twitter, with many believing a new album isn’t coming at all.

“She really changed it to an alien holding [a] Fenty product, we’re never getting that album I fear,” one social media user wrote.

“Well, thanks for reminding us that we’re never getting the album Rihanna,” a second commented.

“The stick hands holding her Fenty beauty products… she’s sick,” a third said.

“That music is never coming,” a fourth predicted.

“We never getting this album,” echoed a fifth.

“No album coming this year,” a sixth agreed.

“We lost,” one more added with a few crying face emojis.

BOY MOM

Fans thought the superstar might surprise them with a new album following her show-stopping 2023 Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show.

During the performance, Rihanna showed off her growing baby bump due to a clothing mishap, which revealed she was pregnant with her second child.

She welcomed her son, Riot, on August 1, 2023, whom she shares with rapper A$AP Rocky, 35.

The couple are also parents of a son, Rza, born on May 13, 2022.

‘EVERYTHING CHANGES’

In an interview with British Vogue, Rihanna spoke about how parenthood changed the pair’s dynamic in their relationship.

“We’re best friends with a baby. We have to be on the same page, but we’ve always kind of had that in our relationship,” the Forbes billionaire explained.
