Rihanna has some stern words for online folks who had an issue with a term she used for her baby boy as she shared pictures from their British Vogue shoot on social media this week. The singer is having an amazing year and wouldn't let trolls dampen her spirit. Rightfully so!
Keep reading for all the details.
The Diamonds singer shared lovely portraits of herself, Asap, and her baby boy as they graced the cover and major pages of the British Vogue March edition. The shoot featured Rihanna in different ensembles and poses.
Rihanna looked breathtaking in a slinky black dress and a high slit as she walked in the sand barefooted ahead of ASAP Rocky, who cradled their baby boy in his arms and kept it edgy in a black-on-black leather ensemble and silver accessories.
Rihanna's dress featured a chic silver altered neckline, and she matched it with bold silver earrings while she kept her rich brunette hair in rough curls with soft bangs.
The elated mom then shared an adorable picture of her son and used the term "So fine" in the captions, which some social media users found offensive. They argued that she should have used a more "kid-friendly" term, as "fine" is for grown-ups.
"Who calls a baby fine?" quipped a curious fan.
Trust the Umbrella singer to never back down and defend her actions. She replied to the user, "His mother!!!" and then added, "You just keep your lil cougar paws away from him and we good!"
While we're eagerly waiting for her to reveal the name of her baby boy, the singer also revealed major news during her Super Bowl halftime show. She's expecting her second child with her partner ASAP Rocky, and they're beyond excited.
The 34-year-old award-winning artist revealed in the caption that she had no idea she was carrying her second child at the shoot as she thanked the photographers for taking amazing pictures of her family.
She gleefully described how the birth of her son changed her world and admitted she couldn't remember what her life looked like before welcoming her son in May 2022.
"It's everything, you really don't remember life before, that's the craziest thing ever."
The singer, whose real name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty talked about the first few months of motherhood. She called it a rollercoaster and couldn't believe she entered the hospital pregnant and left with a whole baby.
According to the singer, the child's birth caused her to think about raising him as it's now one of the scariest responsibilities ever in her life.
"Raising a young Black man is one of the scariest responsibilities in life [...] You're like, 'What am I leaving my kids to? This is the planet they're gonna be living on?"
The business mogul, however, expressed that despite the challenges encountered so far, it has helped her and her boyfriend get closer and be best friends while raising their baby boy.
Rihanna keeps making history. Her epic Super Bowl halftime show is now the most-watched halftime performance in NFL history, closely followed by Katy Perry's set in 2015. A whopping 118.7 million viewers tuned in across television and streaming platforms.
The Fenty Beauty CEO perfectly concealed her second pregnancy; even her 280 dancers had no idea she was growing a bump.
"I don't think anybody really knew she was pregnant, dancer Laila Hayes revealed to ET. She hid it very well."
Sources spilled that the singer only began rehearsing with the dancers the week of the show, and she kept a reasonable distance so they would not see her belly.
Parris Goebel, a popular Hollywood choreographer, stood in for Rihanna during the tumultuous weeks of practicing the routine. As for Rihanna, she mostly practiced independently. Her backup dancers were selected after a rigorous rehearsal in early January.
She kept it casual and laid back in an oversized red jacket and matching baggy jumpsuit, which she unzipped at the beginning of the performance to reveal her belly. Meanwhile, her dancer revealed she kept it zipped all through the pre-show rehearsals.
Hayes spilled all the tea and revealed the artist thanked all the production cast and crew, including dancers, before heading out to the stage.
While the world was shocked by the news, she kinda dropped a hint about bringing up a "special guest" for her show during her chat with CBS Sports.
The Super Bowl halftime performance marked her return to the stage after a seven-year hiatus.
Rumors of a relationship between the long-term friends started in 2020 following her split from Hassan Jameel. While they never confirmed their status, watching them grow their adorable family has been blissful.
