Maybe don't try to insult Rihanna while demanding a new album.

"We want an album forehead," Instagram user lorenzohirmez wrote, to which Rihanna responded, "Listen Lorenzo! You ain’t cute enough to be calling me by my black name you dizzy fuck!"

Rihanna is no stranger to fans asking about her long-awaited follow-up to the 2016 studio album, Anti. The singer provided an update on R9 in June, telling Entertainment Tonight that she is "prepared to go back in the studio" but will be "starting over."

"I'm starting over," Rihanna said. "But I don't want to neglect the songs that I have, so I actually want to go back and listen to stuff with new ears, with my new perspective and then see what applies and what I’m still in love with."

"I think that music, for me, is a new discovery," she continued. "I'm rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside and now I'm prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start—give me a second!"

Rihanna is also aware of the forehead comments. When asked who she would want play her in a biopic, she responded, "Taylor Russell. You know why, 'cause she got a nice forehead. She's fly. I feel like I wanna be her, so I want her to pretend to be me. I want people to see me in that light."
