The long wait for Rihanna's ANTI—fka #R8—may be drawing to a close. The penultimate room in her Samsung ANTIdiary app, presumed to be a countdown to the album, was opened three weeks ago; and just a couple days ago, the singer posted a picture of herself listening to the record.

Today, Billboard reports that its sources have confirmed that ANTI will be out "likely as a surprise release before Friday." The report also mentions that a single featuring "an OVO artist" will debut at 8 a.m. EST Wednesday. A representative for Rihanna did not immediately return a request for comment.
