Rihanna signs multi-million dollar documentary deal as she returns to limelight

Rihanna has been slowly returning to the limelight after teasing and releasing music as well as hosting a star-studded  lingerie fashion show  for her Savage X Fenty brand.

The 34-year-old star last released an album, called Anti, in 2016 and was on hiatus for years.

She sent fans into a meltdown when it was revealed she would be singing at the halftime performance at Super Bowl LVII next year, marking the return of an icon.

Fans were further treated when she dropped the song Lift Me Up for the hit movie, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

And it looks like RiRi is far from done when it comes to giving the people what they want.

It has been reported that the make-up mogul signed a huge deal with Apple to document her return to the stage in 2023.
