Rihanna leaked: The mystery of ANTI is gone after the full album was posted on Tidal

RIHANNA finally released the first single from her upcoming album, ANTI, yesterday.

ACCIDENT: Tidal posted ANTI earlier than it was supposed to

But the entire album was available online for a short while thanks to a huge mess up by streaming service Tidal.

And some fans quickly managed to save the hotly awaited album so it was available offline before it was removed.

The Bajan beauty and her team have had fans scratching their heads for months and months, continually pushing the release date back.

ANTI was originally due in November, however Rihanna only acknowledged it was ready this week.

BORED: Fans were sick of waiting for Rihanna's new album

But fans of the 27-year-old were more than ready and are now blowing up Twitter thanks to one nimble-fingered Tidal user.

The Tweeter in question is sharing 30 second snippets of each song from the album.

He said: "I'm not gonna 'leak' the album. I'll give snippets. But not full.

"I didn't download or steal anything. I'm playing them through Tidal. Not my fault they fed up so get off my d lol."

LEAKED: A Twitter user was posting 30 second snippets of the songs

The ANTI campaign was a bit of a shambles, to say the least.

Those eager to find out more about the release had to use their phones to search through different rooms and play a game – but nobody actually understood it.

The Diamonds singer drip-released two singles in the lead up to her new album, but fans quickly grew tired of waiting.

Looks like they don't need to wait anymore – and some are even offering the "leak" thousands of dollars for the full album.

Guys, just wait. It'll only be £7.99 on iTunes.
