Yesterday, a rumor began flying around that the Bajan Beauty would be linking up with PARTYNEXTDOOR for their , and the speculation turned out to be true. Rihanna’s vocals bless us on “,” the next single from PND’s brand new album. Although she only ends up saying a total of about five words, the Rihanna Navy couldn’t be more excited to welcome her back into the fray. Some people don’t think this is a permanent return though.

“Rihanna going back to Fenty after singing 5 words,” wrote one fan on Twitter, sharing a video of LeBron James walking out of a press session.
