Rihanna set to drop new album “ANTI” on Black Friday and announces World Tour

Black Friday just got a little bit more interesting.

It is being reported that Rihanna will be releasing her highly anticipated eighth studio album ANTI on Black Friday (November 27^th), her first album since Unapologetic in 2012. But there’s a catch, a HUGE catch. ANTI will be exclusive to streaming service TIDAL until December 4^th. What this means is unless you are a subscriber to TIDAL, you will have to wait one week to listen and purchase the album.

Adding to those reports, Rihanna announced the ANTI World Tour sponsored by Samsung today as well.

The tour is set to kick off in February of next year and will feature The Weeknd and Big Sean for the Europe leg and Travis Scott for the North America dates.

Tickets go on sale for all dates on December 3^rd.
