As the world waits for a new Rihanna album, her partner, A$AP Rocky, admits that he's partially to blame for keeping her away from music. He just revealed, however, that she is in fact working on something.

Appearing on BET's "The Jason Lee Show," A$AP Rocky discussed Rihanna's busy schedule before acknowledging she was busy on a new project.

"But yo, she in the studio right now," he continued. "Yeah, I said it." Then, addressing Rihanna, he said, "Sorry babe." He added, to Lee, "She cooking, bro. No funny s---. Damn, I'mma get in trouble for this."

But when Lee suggested that Rihanna team up with Rocky to make a double album "of y'all both together on every song," Rocky shook his head.

"Nope. I would hate Rocky and Rihanna if they both did that. That's trash!" he said, referring to himself and Rihanna in the third person. "Nobody want to hear us together, bro! I make subversive weird a-- indie rap. Like, I got a cult following, bro."

He went on, "The music that I make is for a niche demographic of people who actually get this s---. I make music for pretty boys. I make music for people that is misunderstood."

"Your girl is a universal icon," Lee argued. "She has songs with Paul McCartney and I mean, y'all can figure it out!" 

"Bro, no!" Rocky responded.

With or without A$AP Rocky, if Rihanna does ever release another album, it'll be the follow up to "Anti," which came out in 2016.
