Rihanna Is Releasing A Documentary of the 'ANTi' Era
The film has been in the works for almost THREE years...
First Lady Gaga then Demi Lovato... now Rihanna?!
Pop star documentaries are making a major comeback this year and Rihanna is the next superstar to let cameras into her private sphere to show the world what her life is like.
The self-titled film Rihanna was filmed over 18 months from 2015 recording sessions for her eighth studio album Anti to the album release and its supporting world tour that saw her sell out stadiums across the globe throughout 2016.
I was good on my own, that's the way it was, that's the way it was
You was good on the low for a faded fuck, on some faded love
Shit, what the fuck you complaining for?
Feeling jaded huh?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to you
Had some fun on the run though I give it to you
But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it
You needed me
Oooh, you needed me
To feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But baby ooo, you needed me
You been rollin' around, shit I'm rollin up
Light and roll it up
Break it down like a pound, shit was never us
Shit was never us
That's the real on the real, are you serious?
How you feel, how you feel?
Used to trip off that shit I was kickin' to ya
Had some fun on the run though, I give it to ya
But baby, don't get it twisted
You was just another nigga on the hit list
Tryna fix your inner issues with a bad bitch
Didn't they tell you that I was a savage
Fuck your white horse and a carriage
Bet you never could imagine
Never told you you could have it
You needed me
Oooh, you needed me
To feel a little more, and give a little less
Know you hate to confess
But baby ooo, you needed me
We'll be able to follow the 'Wild Thoughts' singer as she recorded the mega-successful album, became a bonafide fashion designer for Puma, filmed several movies and toured the world because that's just what you do in 18 months when you're Rihanna.
As the coolest girl in music, she is always candid when we get a glimpse of her but she's become a lot more private and basically stopped doing full interviews in the past few years so this is incredibly exciting news!
Filmed by Peter Berg, the film will "Follow this true international superstar as she navigates life as an artist, businesswoman, and humanitarian, while contending with the inherent pressure of artistic freedom," according to the production company's website.
It will be "an unfiltered look into Rihanna's life and how she's ascended to become a global icon, providing a glimpse into the evolution of one of the world’s most well-known pop artists."
While Gaga: Five Foot Two premiered on Netflix and Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated will stream on YouTube, it's not yet confirmed where Rihanna will be available but we're thinking she could even go all the way and put this in the cinemas?
We know we'd pay to see her in the studio with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, SZA and the rest of the A-list names she hangs with!
Rihanna is one of the biggest stars in the world, equally for her hilarious personality, beauty and her music, so we cannot WAIT to watch this!
