Rihanna and Minaj’s double date comes amid Rocky and Rihanna being spotted together regularly throughout the summer. The two were first reported to be dating last December.
In 2019, Rihanna spoke to Sarah Paulson for Interview magazine about how she is prioritizing taking personal time in addition to recording music and running her two businesses, Fenty Beauty and Savage x Fenty.
“I never used to be this way,” Rihanna said. “It’s only the last couple years that I started to realize that you need to make time for yourself, because your mental health depends on it. If you’re not happy, you’re not going to be happy even doing things that you love doing. It’d feel like a chore. I never want work to feel like a chore. My career is my purpose, and it should never feel like anything other than a happy place. I’ve made little things a big deal, like going for a walk or going to the grocery store.”
Rihanna added that making music was her original dream, not being an entrepreneur. But her success as an artist made her ambitions grow. “I had one dream and that was for my music to be heard all over the world,” she said. “I didn’t even think about the fame part, and then that came, and I was like, ‘Oh, shoot. Do I really want to do this?’ But the thing that keeps me alive and passionate is being creative. With every business outlet, I’m making something from a vision to a reality, and that’s the thing I really enjoy. Music had led me to these other outlets, and to things that I genuinely love. My mom pretty much worked in the beauty and perfume industry for a long time—she did makeup for people and was a makeup artist—so I always loved that.”
