Respect for the legacy, but honestly, as a fan from India, I feel a bit let down. A whole decade with no new music while focusing on Fenty? Her talent is unmatched, but we miss the artist. The anniversary post is sweet, but actions speak louder.

The longevity of this album is insane. "Work" was the anthem of 2016 everywhere, from Mumbai clubs to college fests. It defined a whole era. Happy ANTIversary! 🎉

Her saying "the world is yet to receive and hear" about ANTI even now is so deep. It's true, every listen you discover something new. A true classic. Also, major respect for shouting out her global team.

Iconic album! "Needed Me" was my breakup anthem in college 😂. It's amazing how her music connects with people across different cultures and backgrounds. Here's to 10 more years of ANTI on loop!
