Rihanna is currently signed to Roc Nation, a record label founded by Jay-Z. She joined Roc Nation in 2014 after leaving her previous label, Def Jam Recordings, where she had been since the beginning of her career in 2005.

When Rihanna first entered the music industry, she signed with Def Jam Recordings at age 16. This signing happened after a memorable audition for Jay-Z, who was then president of Def Jam. Under Def Jam, she released seven studio albums from 2005 to 2012, including hit records like "Good Girl Gone Bad" and "Loud."

In 2014, Rihanna made a strategic move by signing a management deal with Roc Nation, effectively ending her contract with Def Jam. This transition meant her future music releases would be through Roc Nation's label division, though she hasn't released a full album since joining the company.

It's worth noting that Rihanna's business relationship with Roc Nation extends beyond music. The company also manages her various business ventures, including Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. This partnership has helped her expand from a music artist into a successful entrepreneur.

Key points about Rihanna's record label history:

2005-2014: Def Jam Recordings
2014-present: Roc Nation

While fans eagerly await new music, Rihanna remains one of Roc Nation's most prominent artists, even though her focus has shifted more toward her business enterprises in recent years. Her last album, "Anti," was released in 2016 through Roc Nation and Westbury Road Entertainment (her own imprint).
