The pop star has been open about their appreciation for cannabis in the past. More than a decade after they were asked to leave a hotel in Barbados due to excessive smoking, the singer recently posed for the cover of Perfect magazine with what appeared to be a joint in their mouth, showcasing their affinity for weed.
For the cover shoot, the celebrity presented a bold makeup look, featuring dramatic eyelashes and tight curls partially pinned up. On the cover, the performer gazed moodily over their shoulder at the camera.
This was one of three covers featuring the superstar, who recently teased their retirement with a playful t-shirt.

For the second and third covers, the award-winning artist donned a black strapless dress, dramatic makeup, and bold lipstick. They playfully trolled their fans while out in New York City, wearing a blue T-shirt that proclaimed them as ‘retired’—a cheeky response to fans’ pleas for new music.
The T-shirt read, ‘I’m retired, this is as dressed up as I get’ in bold lettering. The multi-talented individual hasn’t released an album since 2016 but has instead focused on building a successful beauty empire.
Earlier this week, the entrepreneur announced the upcoming launch of their haircare line, prompting a fan to tweet, ‘You’re releasing everything but the album!’ In response, the celebrity stepped out in New York, seemingly addressing the online outcry with their choice of attire.
They paired the T-shirt with a navy blue mermaid-style skirt, red sneakers, and a bright green bag. Their look was completed with Y2K-inspired sunglasses and golden blonde braids.

The celebrity accessorized with flashy gold choker necklaces and a sparkly statement ring. Their makeup look included a glossy lip, dewy complexion, and a rosy flush. They were chauffeured to a building in NYC, marking a busy week for the star.
On Tuesday, they officially announced the launch of their latest venture, a haircare line, with a sleek commercial. The specific products that will be offered are yet to be revealed, but the website teases quick glimpses of containers, leaving fans curious.
The celebrity wrote on Instagram, ‘I’ve had almost every texture, color, length, from weaves to braids to natural—so I am launching a flexible line of products for not only every hair want, but every single product is designed to strengthen and repair all types of hair, which is what we truly need! It’s time to play and get stronger by the style.’
The haircare line is the latest addition to their successful beauty company, which already includes skincare and fragrance lines. While the entrepreneur is excited about their new business endeavor, fans expressed their frustration and anger on social media, pleading for new music.
One fan tweeted, ‘Is this “Fenty Hair” the name of the new album or…?’ while another commented on Instagram, ‘We need FENTY ALBUM.’ Others wrote, ‘Drop an album and I’ll see about some shampoo’ and ‘You are literally a billionaire sister, enough is enough.’

Some fans expressed their frustration more strongly, with one commenting, ‘Get in the studio, I’m tired of this!’ However, another fan defended the celebrity, stating, ‘Y’all are not getting it, poor souls. They are finished with music. They are into business and creating generational wealth.’
The award-winning artist recently celebrated milestones in record sales with a tweet, and they are also producing and voicing a character in an upcoming animated film. Additionally, they are writing and recording original songs for the movie.
It has been over a year since the celebrity’s last single, and they are currently navigating the process of including their children’s voices in their upcoming album and that of their partner. In April, the celebrity teased their new music, stating, ‘I already got stuff that I feel like I could make hits out of.’
The celebrity and their partner confirmed their relationship in 2020, nine years after collaborating on a song together.
