Rihanna told The Associated Press in a statement Wednesday that she’s “so excited to take this next step in my career.”

The 22-year-old is also launching a new company called Rihanna Entertainment. She says it will “merge all of her businesses, including music, film, fragrance fashion and book ventures.”

Looks like Riri’s taking steps to ensure she’s not going to be blanketed by Willow Smith’s increasingly growing shadow. I don’t know about this one Riri. One label..two growing divas, let’s see how this all plays out in a couple of months.
