A post shared on Instagram purported that Rihanna wanted to release music in the wake of Harris’s potential victory in the 2024 election. The post shared an image of Harris in a blue blazer and one of Rihanna as she touches her face.
The caption reads, “Rihanna says she will announce a song tonight if Kamala Harris wins the presidential election: ‘If Kamala wins, I’ll drop a song. Just do what y’all gotta do in order to make that happen.'”
