In order to prepare for the release of her highly anticipated album R8, Rihanna is going on an intense detox regime, and she is losing friends in the process—find out why!

“Ri’s already going crazy on day two, but she’s got another five days on it,” a source tells OK! exclusively about her detox plan. But why does she need to detoxify her body in the first place?

Well, while Rihanna is always a stunner, over the summer she packed on a few pounds during late nights in the studio, with a source telling the publication that the singer gave into a number of her temptations, including beer, fried food, and potato chips!

So now that she is ready to release her first album in three years, she of course wants to look and feel her best as she promotes it. Unfortunately it’s “driving even her closet pals away,” says the insider. We all know a lack of food can make anyone cranky and not fun to be around!

Another reason why RiRi is losing friends is because the singer, who is known for her love of partying, can’t even drink while on the get-healthy detox regime.

However, she does cheat “with a shot of vodka every now and then,” the source admits.

In addition to dropping the pounds before her album, she’s also working out more in preparation for an upcoming tour! “She’s also starting work on a new tour – and this time she really wants to dance more on stage so she’s going to start building up her cardio and strength after this,” adds the insider.
