RIHANNA 'I'm Retired' ... Shirt Sends Message?!?

update

6/7/24 -- We found the shirt that Rihanna was wearing, and here's what it says in full ... "I'm Retired, This Is As Dressed Up As I Get." The question ... is the "retirement" mystery over???

Rihanna is either sending a message or trolling with her fashion choice in the Big Apple ... and it's all about what's on her shirt.

RiRi hopped out of an SUV in New York City Thursday and walked past photogs in a graphic tee -- which has the words "I'm Retired" emblazoned across the front ... pretty interesting given that she hasn't released an album since 2016 and is now a mother of two.
