Savage X Fenty has announced a replacement for Rihanna after the business mogul herself decided to step down.

Rihanna is handing over the reins of her lingerie line, Savage X Fenty, to Hillary Super, former CEO of Anthropologie Group.

The R&B sensation-turned businesswoman is said to have taken the decision herself, with the aim of taking the company beyond e-commerce.

She will however remain in a leadership role as the company’s executive chair according to Vogue.

This is just the beginning for us, and we’re going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer.”

“I’m so grateful and excited to welcome Hillary Super as our new CEO – she is a strong leader and is focused on taking the business to an even higher level.”

Naturally, fans have responded to the news on social media with the assumption RiRi will be focusing on her return to music instead.
