"The dream would be to bring out her own range of kitchenware too. Rihanna has proven that, as well as being a best-selling artist, she is a savvy businesswoman and those around her think this next step could be a huge hit, " the source continued.

Legend also has it that the 32-year-old has trademarked the phrase 'Sorry, I'm Booked', which she plans to use on a range of books and kitchen utensils.

The 'Work' hitmaker's legion of fans may not be happy with the news that her album is put on hold for the umpteenth time, but right now, Riri is 'doing her' and has reportedly realised that there is more money to be made in other industries.
