Rihanna's New Fashion Line, $chool Kills: Is She Putting Music on the Back Burner?

It seems like Rihanna is stirring up the fashion world once again! According to a recent report from Grazia, Rihanna's company, Roraj Trade, LLC filed an application with the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office for her upcoming brand, under the controversial name — $chool Kills.

The "B*tch Better Have My Money" singer is rumored to be taking a break from the music to focus more on expanding her name in the fashion industry. A source told Grazia, "$CHOOL KIlls will be an accessories range covering everything from tote bags to purses, and later on, fashion. She still loves the music, and it's what launched her, but this is her focus right now."

This probably comes to no shock to anyone who has been following Rihanna's career moves as of late. It has been over two years since Rihanna's last studio album, Unapologetic, and while her fans have been anxiously awaiting the release of her next studio album, R8, Rihanna has been making some major moves in the fashion industry already.

Last year, CFDA named the Bajan beauty the 2014 Fashion Icon. Since then she has landed herself the title of creative director of Puma and more recently was celebrated as the first black woman to be the face of Dior, as she stunned in Dior's latest Secret Garden campaign.

Rihanna has made some serious strides in the fashion world thus far, and still managed to remain semi-present in the music scene, but for a fashion influencer like Ri Ri, this clothing line could be a game changer. What are your thoughts? Will the launch of her new fashion line, $chool Kills, sway her more toward the fashion side and put her music career on the backseat? Or do you think Bad Gal RiRi can conquer the fashion and music worlds simultaneously?
