It looks like Rihanna’s rumored boyfriend Travis Scott is the man to blame for the delay of one of the most anticipated albums of 2015 – the “ANTI” album— and this is according to songwriter Glass John, who apparently worked on the record.
In a major rant on Twitter, Glass John claimed that Scott’s influence at Rihanna’s label Roc Nation is the reason ANTI still isn’t out yet—even though fans have already heard the three released singles ‘FourFiveSeconds’, ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ and ‘American Oxygen’.
Glass John says he wrote a track called ‘Kiss It Better’ and tweeted that Scott—who is co-producing the album—is “wasting valuable studio time trying to come up with a song that can top ‘Kiss It Better’ and he cannot because it’s the beat damn song”.

More tweets from him suggest that the album was originally set for release last November, but was then delayed for Christmas. “The album would’ve been out on Chrismas. If Travis hadn’t convinced Rihanna that wasn’t good enough. What has he produced to say this!!?!!!” he asked.

Glass John adds that Scott also wants Rihanna to veer from her typical pop sound towards an “all trap ghetto” album.
Travis Scott keeps telling my wife she needs to make an all trap hood ghetto album
