Rihanna has opened up about motherhood, expressing her astonishment at an unexpected trait in her children.
The 35-year-old singer, who welcomed baby son Riot four months ago and shares 19-month-old son RZA with partner A$AP Rocky, shared insights into her family life.
Rihanna revealed her surprise that her eldest child, RZA, inherited her forehead size, jokingly expressing concern about her youngest, Riot, not sharing the same trait. She playfully exclaimed, “I’m like, wait, are you sure? You can’t lose this thing!”
The singer, known for her commitment to breaking generational curses, discussed her hopes for having children in a loving environment and contributing to positive family dynamics.
During the interview, Rihanna lavished praise on A$AP Rocky, describing the experience of seeing him as a father as a “turn-on.” She emphasized his leadership qualities and patient, loving demeanor, expressing delight in how their children adore him. Rihanna noted, “I’m just a background, I’m just an extra. It doesn’t matter whether it was girls or boys, they love their dad differently, and that’s it.”
The conversation took place at Rihanna’s recent Fenty X Puma launch, where she attended with A$AP Rocky. However, the joyful family discussion comes against the backdrop of legal challenges for A$AP Rocky. A judge recently ordered him to stand trial on two felony counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm.
The charges stem from an alleged incident in 2021 where A$AP Rocky is accused of shooting at his former friend, A$AP Relli (Terell Ephron). During the preliminary hearing, Ephron detailed the deterioration of his relationship with A$AP Rocky, leading to an argument at an LA hotel and the alleged shooting.
