I think some of her fans were hoping for a Christmas Day release. However Rihanna was at a recording studio 2 nights ago. So

Anti diary Room 7 is open, though.
Not as far as I can see it isn't .

There is more chance of an entire ban on turkey tomorrow than Rihanna dropping Anti ;p. But colour me surprised and happy to eat my words if it happens.

Apologies. I got too ahead of myself and made that up. Room 7 supposedly revealed tomorrow. Um, I think.

Anyway, it looks like it's quiet possible professional Twitter troll Azealia Banks talked herself out of an appearance on Anti. She was ranting on Twitter last night about an unnamed artist being 'intimidated by her'. But she failed to mention just last week, when she was arrested for assault, she was heard boasting about her feature on Anti album during her altercation. Now since Rihanna is purposely keeping her cards close to her chest regarding the album, Banks running her mouth likely wouldn't have gone down well with Rihanna, clearly.

It's funny that both Azealia Banks and Iggy Azealia have made career self sabotage almost into an art form lol

There's no way it's coming tomorrow. New Year would also be pointless as everyone would be too busy to notice an album release. 8th Jan seems a reasonable bet.

So the producer of 'Kiss it Better' appears to be having a total meltdown on Twitter revealing EVERYTHING about the mess that is this era, explains the reasons for the delays and how Rihanna is now being encouraged by Travis Scott to release a trap album. Just read through the tweets:

Perhaps someone could make sense of what he's saying cos a lot of that doesn't make any sense to me.

The gist of it that I got is that the album is being delayed by someone called Travis Scott (who is he?), i.e. it's not Rihanna's fault herself that it's been delayed constantly. She's probably just as frustrated as we all are.

In terms of the music, sounds like loads of stuff has been thrown about over the last three years and it's all been a massive mess. But we already knew that.

Travis Scott is a 23 year old rapper. He has one top 20 hit to his name and a flop debut album.

But he seems much more successful as a producer, as he has worked with the likes of Madonna, Kanye, John Legend, Jay Z and Drake.

Going by the tweets, it seems as if the delay is because of Travis who is the main producer on the album and apparently her boyfriend. He seems to have a habit of taking credit for other's people work. Some other tweets seem to suggest that he named the album ANTI and that BBHMM wasn't really a song they wanted tor release as a single but someone said it had to be released. It also seems that Rihanna is desperate for this album to come out but she has zero control over it being released. He also says that he spoke to Rihanna before making the decision to speak openly about all this.

Rihanna should have released a greatest hits album this year to celebrate ten years in the music industry. There is NO buzz about her at the moment. She should wait until summer 2016 before releasing a new album. She needs a big hit single to lead the campaign.

NEW SNIPPET

Glass John has just leaked a demo snippet of 'Kiss it Better'.

https://youtu.be/IP6PSwAifPI

This was due to be the lead single for R8 a year ago before FFS came along. For the first time this era we've heard something that actually sounds like a Rihanna song.

KIB now trending worldwide. According to earlier tweets Jay-Z wants to build more demand/hype for ANTI before releasing it. Glass John has been given permission by Rihanna to leak this demo version in order to build hype and get an idea as to whether people like the song. A video has already been filmed and I'm convinced that this will be the single to relaunch this campaign. It's all a publicity stunt imo. Perhaps just what she needs right now.

The quality of the demo is so poor, I would not of even known that was even from Rihanna. It doesn't at al soundl like a song I would expect Rihanna to release, which intrigues me.

So Room 7 of ANTIdiaRy finally opened. Again the visuals are stunning as we see Rihanna take the crown from "The Innocent". This hopefully means that the album is imminent with R8: Anti Bedroom being the last remaining room to unlock. I'm assuming that once that room opens we will at the very least get some news (release date or tracklist), maybe a new single or if we're lucky it could even be the album itself . So now we are just left to speculate as to whether this and every upcoming Friday is to be the release date. Enjoy the continuing mess .

Has it even been confirmed that there's 8 rooms or are people just assuming that because its her 8th album?

This is completely beyond a joke now and even her hardcore fans are getting annoyed now. Releasing this stupid antidiary rooms is now so pointless, she should just release the album now. Nobody is even excited now, everyone is just fed up and bored of this stupid 'campaign'

This is a horrendous album campaign. At first it could have been argued that she was trying to create a bit of suspense and excitement by taking so long, but now it's just ridiculous. It's as if they just threw this whole room promo thing together to try and get people excited and shut everyone up while they try and pick a track list, get better songs or something. The whole thing is a complete mess. What possible reason could she have for taking this long, other than the material not being up to scratch? I don't think this is going to do well. I think people are just fed up now.

Yes there are definitely 8 rooms as when you go on the website they are all listed, with R8 being the only locked one left now. I mean she could just drop the album on Friday and have done with it, but for some reason I don't think it'll be as simple as that .

I'm not convinced that the album is ready to go, either. There seems to be some major panic going on behind-the-scenes.

She needs to stop taking for granted that her fans are gonna be there forever. She's alienating her fans but keeping them waiting for so long.

Latest rumour is that she's about to film a music video for a song called 'Work' which features Drake. It's a dancehall track apparently.

She literally could have done a Rated R serious album and then followed up with a Loud style offering by now . This panic and concern has hindered this campaign even worse than a less mainstream album would have it is beyond farcical how it has been handled. And really another Drake collab with Caribbean influences, 3 years and that's what we get.....

yes its strange how the release has been put back and back

maybe with the early singles not doing as well as usual...they wanted to hold back incase they release it and it flops?

To be fair people would've moaned whatever we got. People moaned at FFS, BBHMM and AO. Nothing wrong with another Drake collab given the two she's done with him previously were arguably two of her best collabs. Plus the video she's currently filming may not even be the next single she could have another one lined up before it. The trouble is that we're all still in the dark.

So I can now confirm the earlier rumours about Rihanna & Drake filming a video as they are both in LA and pictures of the video set have been circulating on Twitter. A couple of snippets of the song have also leaked (although the quality is really really terrible so apologies for that):

Rihanna ft Drake - 'Work'
https://soundcloud.com/ririspearslvr/wurq

Sounds more like 'Take Care' than 'What's My Name?'. Once again an urban track from Rihanna but with Hotline Bling doing well I can see this becoming a big hit too.
