Rihanna is busy 'trying to save the world,' so stop asking when the new album's coming out
Don't ask Rihanna about when her album is coming out — she's too busy saving the world.
Many stars have started using Instagram Live to keep themselves and their fans entertained during quarantine, and on Friday Rihanna followed suit.
The 32-year-old was dancing and having a good time with friends on Instagram Live when some unfortunate soul asked about her upcoming album.
"If one of y'all (expletives) ask me about the album one more time when I'm trying to save the world unlike y'all president," Rihanna said.
The singer-turned-beauty mogul, fashion designer and philanthropist released her last album, "Anti," in 2016 and has continuously teased fans about her upcoming "R9" project, which she had initially said would be out by 2019.

The anticipation surrounding the upcoming album has turned into a running joke between her and her fans.
In December, the Barbadian singer shared a video to Instagram of a dog sitting in a box excitedly bobbing its head back and forth to the tune of "Jump Around" by House of Pain.
Rihanna captioned the post, "update: me listening to R9 by myself and refusing to release it."
The artist has been working on the album, but she's also had her hands in multiple ventures, including donating to coronavirus relief efforts.
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage the world, the Fenty Beauty founder, hasn't been shy about donating to the cause.
On Thursday, Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey teamed up to donate $4.2 million to help domestic violence victims during the coronavirus pandemic in Los Angeles.
The donation will provide more than two months' worth of funding to feed, shelter and counsel victims of domestic abuse and their children. Rihanna's foundation noted that Incidents of abuse have been on the rise since California's Safer at Home order went into effect in March.
This isn't the first time the Grammy winning artist has stepped up to help during the outbreak.
Less than two weeks after already donating $5 million through her foundation on March 21, Rihanna announced an additional $1 million grant to COVID-19 relief efforts. Her donation was matched by Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Foundation.
The $2 million from the two Grammy-winning artists' organizations will be used to help undocumented workers, the elderly, first responders and frontline healthcare workers as well as the homeless population in Los Angeles and New York.
On March 26, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo thanked Rihanna in a tweet for donating personal protective equipment to the state.
"We're so appreciative of your help and that of so many others who have stepped up," he wrote.
