Rihanna has earned the title of the world's richest female musician, with a net worth of $1.7 billion more than 15 years after the "We Found Love" singer made her music industry debut.
Rihanna, who also owns a fashion firm under LVMH, became the first Black woman to head a fashion house under LVMH in 2019, and the singer doesn't show signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Rihanna's focus is shifting in the future, as fans eagerly wait for the release of R9.
Many fans believe the 33-year-old may be hiding a baby bump, and have speculated as much since her September 2021 cover shoot with Dazed. While we do not see a baby bump, this isn't the first time Rihanna has been rumored to be expecting a child.
So, is RiRi pregnant? Here's everything you'll need to know about the pregnancy theories surrounding Rihanna and her current girlfriend, A$AP Rocky.
Rihanna has denied that she is presently pregnant with A$AP Rocky's child.
When will the world stay out of Rihanna's uterus, we won't know, however, thanks to a screenshot of an alleged DM exchange with a fan named Jen in December 2021, Rihanna has made it a point to set the record right about her baby.
Can I come to the baby shower sis!? Yes, your babies will be beautiful. Sorry everyone's up in your uterus right now," Jen stated.
Rihanna alleged to have responded, "Haaaaa! Stop! You ain't come to the first ten baby showers! Y'all breed me every year damn it, lol."
Jen captioned the image, "Her uterus said, "Stay out of my damn business," and I spit my water out when she said 'the first 10 baby showers." Regardless, I'm pleased for her either way. She's living life to the fullest!"
Following Rihanna's arrival at the Barbados inauguration, many fans were convinced that Rihanna is expecting a baby with A$AP Rocky.
Rihanna's friendship with A$AP dates back to 2013, when she was featured on her Diamond Tour and she appeared as the love interest in the visual for Fashion Killa, according to social media.

The rapper was romantically linked to Kendall Jenner in 2016, but the couple ended their relationship the following year, around the time Rihanna began dating Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
Rihanna and A$AP remained close for the years, generating rumors of a friendship that were confirmed by a source in November 2020, months after her separation with the billionaire.
Since then, the two have been seen together, and A$AP refers to the "Umbrella" singer as the "love of [his] life" in a 2021 interview with GQ.
A$AP also stated that he hopes to establish a family in the future.
"If that's in my destiny, absolutely," he said. "Nah, but like, I think I'd be an incredible, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly kid. Very," he added. "Nah, but like, I think I'd be an amazing, remarkably, overall amazing dad. I would have a very fly child. Thank."
These most recent pregnancy rumors come from the Twitter account @BenjaminEnfield, which published in November 2021, "Rihanna is pregnant with her first child with A$AP Rocky."
Since then, the tweet has received a slew of retweets and likes.
Many fans said Rihanna looked like she was wearing a modest baby bump while attending the inaugural-ever Barbados presidential inauguration in November 2021, but this isn't the first time we've heard rumors that the singer was pregnant.
Previously, the rumors of Rihanna about Pregnancy have spread.
Rihanna and A$AP expect a bundle of joy, according to Media Take Out, which reported in September 2021 that no one, but two sources close to the couple, had confirmed her pregnancy.
"I don't anticipate her to declare the pregnancy or show off baby photos, so [I] don't expect her to announce the pregnancy, or show off baby photos," one source told MTO. "She'll just disappear for a while, then show up with a baby."
It didn't help that Rihanna attended the 2021 Met Gala in September wearing an oversized black Balenciaga coat that swallowed her up. A$AP also covered up in a multi-color coat reminiscent of a homemade quilt.
Rihanna stated that she expects to have children in the next ten years.
Rihanna and her niece Majesty in 2015 hosted her with her niece Majesty.
While Rihanna isn't currently pregnant, it's no secret that she's planning to become a mother sooner rather than later.
"I'll have kids three or four of 'em," she told British Vogue in 2020 of her 10-year plan, before adding that children would happen with or without a man. "They diminish you as a mother if there'sn't a dad in your kids' lives."
"The only thing that matters is happiness, that's the only healthy connection between a parent and a child," she explained. "That's the only thing that can raise a child truly, is love."
However, fans should not let into the hype about Rihanna's pregnancy rumors, and once the hitmaker is ready to start her family, she'll most likely divulge the news in her own time.
