It appears Rihanna's eighth album, ANTI, may finally be released this week, after teasing the long-delayed record for months.

Billboard reported Tuesday night the album is expected to arrive before Friday, "likely as a surprise," citing sources with knowledge of the singer's plans.

Additionally, Rihanna is set to release a new, Drake-assisted single titled "Work," which will premiere Wednesday (Jan. 27) at 8 a.m. EST. The two artists reportedly shot a video together earlier this month in Los Angeles.

The news comes as Rihanna is featured in a new ad promoting the upcoming Grammy Awards, where she is expected to perform (perhaps with Drake?).

As we previously reported, Rihanna will also be hitting the road shortly after the Grammys, taking Travi$ Scott, The Weeknd and Big Sean with her for the trek, which begins Feb. 26.
