When you are busy being one of the richest singers in the world, you often don't have time to keep up with friends or family, which can leave your loved ones quite upset. Rihanna, on her way to her estimated $600 million net worth, seems to have found herself in such a stage in life and on Wednesday, November 12, she took to Instagram to apologize for the same.

Posting a picture of herself pouting directly at the camera with her red lips and a black top hat on her head, the 31-year-old singer and fashionista admitted that she had been struggling to find that "balance" after an "overwhelming" year, in which she had failed "to get back to" her friends, family and coworkers. 

"To all my friends/family/coworkers who I have yet to get back to in the past months...please forgive me. This year has been quite an overwhelming one, and I’m working on that ish called Balance. brb," (sic) she wrote

In the photo, the 'Diamonds' songstress could be seen donning a white T-shirt emblazoned with the words, 'Art School Dropout.' She accessorized her look with chunky gold chains.

Both Rihanna's personal life, as well as her professional endeavors, have been in the limelight in recent months. She is currently dating Saudi Arabian businessman Hassan Jameel, 31, and baby rumors with her present flame have already started. Although Rihanna has hardly spoken about her boyfriend, let alone address her pregnancy speculations, she told Vogue last month that she wants to have children one day, "without a doubt."

The Fenty Beauty founder also reiterated that fact in a June chat with actress Sarah Paulson for Interview Magazine, where she said that she wanted to be a mother "more than anything in life."

Apart from her smash hit singles, makeup products from Fenty Beauty have become one of the top-selling items in Sephora. On the other hand, Savage x Fenty lingerie brand also became an instant hit due to its size-inclusive approach.
