Rihanna Explains Why She Avoids Letting RZA Meet A$AP Rocky’s Mom: “She Always Treats My Boy Oddly”

In a recent interview with Interview Magazine, pop icon Rihanna opened up about her life as a mother, sharing personal insights into her family dynamics with her partner, A$AP Rocky, and their two sons, RZA, born in 2022, and Riot, born in 2023. The singer, known for her global influence in music, fashion, and business, delved into her parenting experiences, shedding light on some surprising revelations about her relationship with A$AP Rocky’s family.

One of the most intriguing moments in the interview was when Rihanna discussed why she avoids letting her firstborn son, RZA, spend time with A$AP Rocky’s mother. Rihanna shared that she’s noticed how Rocky’s mother tends to treat her son “oddly.” Though she didn’t go into too much detail, she expressed that this has led to her decision to limit the interactions between them.

Rihanna, who has always been protective of her family, explained that her top priority is ensuring her children’s well-being and comfort. “When you notice someone treating your child in a way that feels off, you naturally take a step back,” she said. It was a candid and honest look into the sometimes complex dynamics of family relationships, even for global superstars.

Aside from this revelation, the “Umbrella” singer also shared a heartwarming story about RZA’s first words. Rihanna recalled the moment with a smile, explaining how she used to call out to him saying, “Hey, hey, hey,” hoping to grab his attention. One day, RZA surprised her by repeating the same words back in the same melody. “It was like we were having our first real conversation,” Rihanna said, clearly moved by the memory. “I kept singing it, and he kept following me, over and over again.”

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, who began dating officially in 2019, have shared a close relationship long before they started their family. The two were friends for years, with speculation about their romantic involvement swirling for almost a decade before they confirmed their relationship. Fans will remember their infamous 2012 VMAs performance, where A$AP Rocky cheekily smacked Rihanna on the butt and kissed her on the cheek while they performed on stage. Despite the rumors, Rihanna clarified that they were not dating during that time, nor were they romantically involved when they filmed the 2013 “Fashion Killa” video together, where the pair were seen shopping in a high-end designer store.

Over the years, both Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have been linked to other high-profile figures in the entertainment industry. Rihanna had notable relationships with Drake, Chris Brown, Travis Scott, and Hassan Jameel. A$AP, on the other hand, was romantically linked to models Chanel Iman and Kendall Jenner, as well as singers Rita Ora and Iggy Azalea.

Despite their past relationships, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s bond has only grown stronger. As partners and parents, they’ve embraced their new roles while continuing to excel in their respective careers. Rihanna remains a powerful figure in music and fashion, with her Fenty Beauty empire continuing to dominate the beauty industry, while A$AP Rocky stays active in music and fashion as well.

While Rihanna’s comments about A$AP Rocky’s mother might spark curiosity, the singer emphasized that her main focus remains on building a positive and nurturing environment for her children. As the family continues to grow, it’s clear that Rihanna is committed to protecting her sons and ensuring they feel loved and safe.
