Barbadian singer and songwriter Rihanna stayed throughout 2024 without taking in alcohol.
The singer and entrepreneur took to social media to share a video of herself ringing in the New Year with friends on Wednesday the 1st of January 2025. Rihanna surprisingly disclosed in the clip that she abstained from alcohol over the past 12 months while celebrating the countdown to 2025, holding up her phone to capture the iconic ball drop in New York City’s Times Square.
After the clock struck midnight, Rihanna proudly told her 150 million Instagram followers “Y’all, I didn’t drink all year. I didn’t drink all year.”
The brief clip shows the “Diamonds” singer enjoying a low-key New Year’s Eve celebration, dressed casually in a gray robe and surrounded by a group of friends who helped with the countdown while holding up their drinks. Ri rang in the New Year in New York City alongside her boyfriend, A$AP Rocky as reported. The couple shares two sons: RZA, 2, and Riot, 1.
“New Year, New Me,” the caption of her Instagram post reads.
Rihanna is seen goofing around with friends while using her Fenty Hair shampoo to properly clean a hair extension in a different Instagram video. “You owe me a new bottle!” she playfully says to her pals. “For one stinkin’ track!” She captioned the post, “De Dirt!!! We walking into 2025 CLEANSED baby! 1 track at a time! Also tell @mdollas11 stay out my bathroom!”
