The biggest mess at this point is her delusional team and Jay-Z/the Roc Nation agenda really thinking this album still has high chances to become a commercial success like LOUD for example. Record labels are so stupid sometimes because the possible cash just blends them.
One average selling album/an underperformance on the charts doesn't destroy a 10 years old career in the industry Especially since this could be her "experimental" album, the one which gets applauded by critics and music nerds and not by the general public.
Don't you know how labels work?
They promote/invest/sign you in the first place if you have potential to bring them money. Of course Jay Z wants success and money from this project. Labels don't care about the acclaim or what the critics think AT ALL.
Because of Travis, the era's momentum has been ****ed up for the entire year. Like... why do they insist on listening to him still? Why is Rihanna so blind sighted? Why can't she just pull through with QUALITY?
If only Kanye have cared at all of this project this wouldn't have happened. Travis was not so relevant at the beginning, but when kanye vanished bc family/swish Travis took the control over rihanna and the artistical process. i don't want a Rodeo/BWET sized mess. I want this bish to leak that thing. We need it.
