Rihanna said in part; “I can’t say when I’m going to drop. But I am very aggressively working on music.”

She continued; “I don’t want my albums to feel like themes. There are no rules. There’s no format. There’s just good music, and if I feel it, I’m putting it out. I feel like I have no boundaries. I’ve done everything – I’ve done all the hits, I’ve tried every genre – now I’m just, I’m wide open. I can make anything that I want.”

On having a famiy, she shared that she might have a couple saying; “I’ll have kids – three or four of ’em.”

She added that she’s not afraid to do it on her own saying; “Hell, yeah. I feel like society makes me want to feel like, ‘Oh, you got it wrong…’ They diminish you as a mother if there’s not a dad in your kids’ lives. But the only thing that matters is happiness, that’s the only healthy relationship between a parent and a child. That’s the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love.”
