Rihanna reveals her new album ANTI is finally finished

Rihanna has revealed that she's FINALLY finished the long-awaited eighth LP, which was originally expected for release in November.

Not one to do things by halves, the 27-year-old took to Twitter to share the news in spectacular fashion, posting a snap of herself wearing an opulent gold crown and bedazzled headphones with the caption 'listening to Anti'. 

Despite sizzling in the saucy snap, it was the impending album that sent her fans into a frenzy.

One quipped: 'OH?!!? FINALLY. I didn't know FourFiveSeconds would end up being about my PATIENCE,' in reference to Rihanna's hit with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. Another just urged: 'RELEASE IT' in anticipation of the new songs.

Rihanna last released an album in 2012, the critically acclaimed, Unapologetic.

Recently she also revealed that her good friend Kanye West was no longer involved as the executive producer on her album.

In a Twitter exchange with a fan, she wrote: 'FYI Kanye is not EPing Anti!!! We’re both working on our own projects right now!'

The rapper is currently working on his own album, Swish, which is due to be released in February.

Meanwhile, Rihanna has a busy few months ahead of her, as she'll be joining Coldplay for their Super Bowl half-time show on February 7th.

The week after, on the 15th, the Diamonds hitmaker is also believed to be performing in front of her peers at the Grammy Awards.

With just a few days rest in between, the star will then kick off her Anti World Tour on February 26 in San Diego, California which will last for six months and see RiRi perform for 69 shows.
