Rihanna fueled retirement rumors while deejaying at a Fenty Beauty event in her native Barbados.

While speaking to a packed crowd, who was there to celebrate the opening of a Fenty store, the singer said, “Music was the thing that got the attention, but God had other plans for me.”

While the “Diamonds” hitmaker previously promised to release new music in the future, fans of the singer took her message as a sign that her retirement from the recording industry could be coming sooner rather than later.

“I was able to create in ways that were very sincere and genuine, organic, and authentic to the things that I love. So, it doesn’t even feel like a job,” the “Love on the Brain” hitmaker, who sported a brown ruched midi-length dress, continued in her speech.

After a video from the event started circulating on social media, fans of the singer quickly commented on her potential retirement.
