Well, that makes sense, it's already been delayed this long. What's a few more months.
Rihanna's strength is not album sells, so the fact that her first two singles gave modest returns (for Rihanna's standards) had to be a bit worrying.
Add to that, the competition in Q4 (mainly Adele). It seems silly to waste money into an era launch that will be overshadowed by Adele no matter what she does.
But I doubt Rihanna is the mastermind behind all of these decisions. I don't think she cares that much about these things. She and Adele are in 2 different lanes, and Adele is going to beat anyone that opposes her (besides Enya).
She wasted 3 years of her life not releasing anything and then in 2 years she'll be 30
