Fans are anticipated on the release of Rihanna’s new album ANTI, but they may have to wait a bit longer to hear it. The “Umbrella” singer’s album originally was scheduled to release on Black Friday, however, it has been delayed ever since. ANTI’s delay may possibly be because of Travi$ Scott, who has been doubting the release of a new single titled “Kiss It Better.” According to Complex, songwriter/producer Glass John has collaborated with Rihanna to make ANTI, and today, he ranted on Twitter about the constant delay on the project.
Glass John writes:

John also mentioned Rihanna was his “Wife” throughout the long rant, and claims that Scott is preventing the album (and singles) from dropping.

From Glass John’s tweets, it seems like the songwriter (who has previously worked with Chris Brown) and the singer are together. However, Rihanna has not made a statement towards either Glass John rant or the delay of the highly anticipated album.
