Rihanna teased her future plans with partner A$AP Rocky after his recent court victory.
Just days after he was acquitted in a felony assault trial, the 37-year-old superstar opened up about what she sees in their near future.
The singer spoke about what she wants to do as soon as her and the rapper’s, 36, two kids grow up.
Once RZA, now two, and 18-month-old Riot are old enough to help out, she said she would consider purchasing a vineyard to start a ‘family winery.’
After sharing rare insight into their two sons’ very different personalities, she said she would want to add a wine brand to her long list of business ventures.
In addition to her lingerie and beauty brands, she told Harper’s Bazaar that she is also interested in getting into furniture and home design.

‘I think I’ll do wine later in my life,’ she told the outlet. ‘Because I respect the art of it all, and we would want to have our own family vineyard.’
This comes after she spoke about her forthcoming album release and the years-long process that went into it.
In her chat with the outlet, she teased her upcoming ninth album and said there is no specific genre attached to the music.
‘This feels right,’ she said about R9. ‘It feels like it digs right into where I need to be, and I want this.’
She continued: ‘This body needs to come out, and I’m ready to go there.
‘This is becoming my new freedom, because when I’m in the studio, I know that my time away from my kids is to blossom something that hasn’t been watered in eight years,’ she added.
‘I’ve been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn’t hit me. I was searching for it.’
The actress continued: ‘I went through phases of what I wanted to do. “This kind of album, not that album.”‘

About the project, she hinted that it will be ‘unexpected.’
‘I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible.
‘It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!’
Back in 2018, just two years after she released Anti, Rihanna was rumored to be working on a dancehall-inspired album.
Now, she said that was ‘way off.’
‘There’s no genre now,’ she said. That’s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, “No, it’s not me. It’s not right. It’s not matching my growth. It’s not matching my evolution. I can’t do this. I can’t stand by this. I can’t perform this for a year on tour.”
‘After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter. I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre,’ she continued.
‘After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.’
It comes after Rihanna’s reasoning for attending A$AP Rocky’s felony gun assault trial – amid resistance from both her beau and prosecutors in the case – has been revealed exclusively to Dailymail.com.
Rocky wanted to shield the Umbrella singer from the stress of the tense legal proceedings, the rapper’s lawyer Joe Tacopina said Tuesday.
The attorney opened up about the case outside of the courthouse in Los Angeles after securing an acquittal for the rapper on pair of counts of felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm.
Tacopina told reporters outside of the courthouse after the conclusion of the criminal case that the F*****’ Problems artist ‘didn’t want’ Rihanna on hand for the trial, as he ‘was very protective of her.’
Tacopina said: ‘He didn’t want her there … I was sort of supporting his decision to keep her away – the trial is not about Rihanna.’

But Rihanna was insistent on being present and showing her support for her partner during the critical time, Tacopina said.
‘She called me one day and she said, “You know, Joe, wild horses aren’t gonna keep me away,”‘ Tacopina said the Barbados-born beauty told him, paraphrasing the 1971 Rolling Stones classic.
Tacopina expounded to Dailymail.com exclusively Thursday on the incredible backing Rihanna provided for A$AP Rocky.
Rihanna brought with her a ‘sense of calm that was obvious’ when she attended the legal proceedings in Los Angeles, Tacopina said, adding that ‘as far as support, she was a rock for Rocky.’
Rihanna ‘obviously is enormously devoted and protective of her beautiful family, which included Rocky,’ Tacopina said.
The nine-time Grammy winner let out an audible sigh of relief after the verdicts were read, as A$AP Rocky faced up to 24 years in prison if convicted.
‘After the verdict, her emotions came to the forefront, crying, hugging Rocky, hugging me, hugging Rocky’s family,’ Tacopina said. ‘With me, she could not have been more appreciative of the work we were doing and was always gracious.’
