Rihanna has sobriety on the brain in 2025!
The 36-year-old singer revealed that she abstained from alcohol for all of 2024 as she shared her countdown into the New Year on Instagram.
In the clip, which the Fenty designer posted on Wednesday, Jan. 1, Rihanna and some friends were shown shouting out the end-of-year countdown as she held up a phone showing the annual ball drop in New York City’s Times Square.
After ringing in 2025, Rihanna declared, “Y’all, I didn’t drink all year! I didn’t drink all year.”
“New Year, New Me,” the “Diamonds” singer captioned the post,
The liquor cabinet wasn’t the only thing cleaned out this year. Rihanna also shared a video of herself goofing off with a friend while using her Fenty Hair shampoo to properly clean a hair extension.
“You owe me a new bottle!” Rihanna could be heard telling her friend in the clip. “For one stinkin’ track!”
The pals had fun while cleaning out the piece, with Rihanna captioning the post, “De Dirt!!! We walking into 2025 CLEANSED baby! 1 track at a time! Also tell @mdollas11 stay out my bathroom!”

Rihanna welcomed the New Year in New York City with her boyfriend A$AP Rocky, with whom she shares sons, RZA, 2½, and Riot, 17 months.
Back in October, she opened up to PEOPLE about her go-to uniform to parent her two energetic boys.
“Anything that’s cozy, anything that’s stretchy, anything that’s easy to bend down and pick my kids up in. Those are the things I look for,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “Things that don’t scratch me, don’t scratch them. We’ve got a lot of work to do in a day of a life of a mom.”
A$AP Rocky, 36, recently gave PEOPLE some insight into his sons’ fashions, which are dictated by the “Umbrella” singer.
“I don’t have any contribution when my sons get dressed,” he told PEOPLE in December. “Sometimes she dresses them like me with kilts and all of that, but that’s all they moms, man. She got good style and taste.”
