RiRi also knows her fans are not-so-patiently waiting with bated breath for the album drop. The self-aware queen made a joke about her procrastination on new music. “Anti was the first time that I took my time making an album while not on tour,”  she said. “That frustrated my fans a bit and now, look, I’m doing it to them again!”

But the mogul has been quite busy as of late — from being a new mom to a burgeoning business owner and an upcoming performance of a lifetime — and she admitted to having a hard time balancing it all. “I’ve been so focused on the Super Bowl, I totally forgot my birthday is coming up. I totally forgot about Valentine’s Day,” she said. “[There’s] a lot of preparation, a lot of moving parts. And this week, this is the week that everyone is being tested. We’re just tightening up everything, everybody’s dialing in, everybody’s tuning up.”

But becoming a mother to her and boyfriend A$AP Rocky’s baby boy actually gave her the confidence to agree to stepping on one of the world’s largest stages. “When you become a mom, there’s something that just happens where you feel like you could take on the world, you could do anything,” she said. “The Super Bowl is one of the biggest stages in the world. So, as scary as that was — because I haven’t been onstage in seven years — there’s something exhilarating about the challenge of it all. And it’s important for me to do this this year. It’s important for representation, it’s important for my son to see that.”
