Hi guys. I’m wanting to get back into photography and I have SO much to learn and brush up on again. But anyways, I feel as if my 50 mm lens limits me and so I wanted advice on what sort of lens is compatible with my canon eos rp. I have been googling but I’m overwhelmed from all of the options. My focus is portraits and creative portraits

All of the RF lenses will be compatible with your EOS RP camera. RF-S lenses will fit, but you will only be able to capture images with the 1.6x crop mode which limits the resolution too. You didn't mention budget so I will provide some options at different price points.
For portraits you may want a longer lens than your 50mm, there are three 85mm lenses in the lineup. These provide a flattering effect for portraits. There is a wide range of pricing too. The size and weight of the large more expensive lens may be a challenge with a lightweight camera like the EOS RP. I have used the less expensive RF 85mm F2 lens for portraits a lot and it is very good.
An other more flexible option would be to choose a zoom lens such as the RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM or RF 70-200mm F4L IS USM. These give a lot of flexibility for composition both indoors and out. My preference would be the F2.8 version.
