Los Angeles, Feb 23 (NationPress) The multi-talented singer Rihanna has shared insights into her family dynamics, revealing that her two sons Riot and RZA exhibit completely different personalities.
Rihanna, who has two sons, RZA, aged two, and Riot, born in 2023, with her rapper partner A$AP Rocky, shared this information with Harper’s Bazaar: “RZA is just an empath. He’s so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything.”
In stark contrast, she described Riot as a bundle of energy from the moment he wakes up, stating: “He’s just hilarious. When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing. And I’m like, ‘Okay, here we go!’ He’s my alarm in the morning! He’s not taking no for an answer from anyone. I don’t know where he came from, dude.”
Rihanna noted that RZA had some initial challenges adjusting to having a younger sibling, “like all (new) siblings do,” but Riot has now assumed the role of the leader, as reported by femalefirst.co.uk.
She further explained: “At first, Riot was understanding that his role was being the little brother. Now he knows he’s in charge.”
The couple was first romantically linked in 2020.
Rihanna also disclosed that musician Pharrell Williams played a role in choosing Riot's name, inspired by a song he collaborated on with Rocky in 2023.
She added: “He gave us this name thinking it was going to be a girl, because he had seen something online. Pharrell is very deep. He’s not surface. “He will never say anything and just leave it there with a full stop. He will have the entire history: the energy, the time, the month that it is.”
Rihanna praised A$AP’s role as a father, saying: “Watching him be a father is the greatest thing. His pureness. His charm. I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me. And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you?”
“Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”
