AceShowbiz - Rihanna is working smarter instead of working harder these days. As fans have long waited for new song from the Barbadian songstress, it is said that she's unlikely returning to music after realizing landing lucrative photos shoots and fashion deals is "just too easy."

"Rihanna hasn't released any music for such a long time and there's not much sign of any more coming," a source tells RadarOnline.com of whether the Grammy Award winner will snub her music career in favor of projects outside of studio. "Since becoming a mom she's still earned big money due to her Fenty range and other affiliated brands, and best of all it hasn't taken much effort."

"So why does she need to get back into the stress of the studio, touring and promo, when it's just too easy to make money starring in sexy ad campaigns?" the source argues, before claiming, "She's now just a highly paid stripper."

The mother of two, who has been named a self-made billionaire by Forbes, is now expanding her empire by working on a range of reusable cloth nappies. She appeared on the cover of British Vogue last year with her infant son in a cloth nappy.

After being praised for the eco-friendly move, she has filed trademarks in the U.S. to create her own brand, according to the outlet. She wants to market the cloth diapers using new lines called Fenty Kids and Fenty Athletic. The trademarks are still being assessed by U.S. lawyers.

Rihanna has said she wanted to make her own kids clothes after being disappointed about what was on offer for her two youngsters. She said, "When you come up with something in your head, half the time it is not available because kids' clothes are so....they're sooo boring. I'm like, 'This is what y'all been doing to these people's kids all along?' "

"I feel like the kids need it. Let's get these kids cool. These kids deserve to be cool," the longtime partner of A$AP Rocky added. She went on gushing about motherhood, "It's everything. You really don't remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever."

Prior to this, Rihanna scared fans with a retirement hint. Back in November, she hinted that her career trajectory may shift away from music during a Fenty Beauty event in Barbados. She acknowledged that while music propelled her to fame, "God had other plans" for her.
