Rihanna is covering the latest issue of Interview Magazine. Inside the publication, the beauty and music mogul talks about everything from her kids to her relationship with A$Ap Rocky. The pair are parents to sons RZA, who will turn two years old next month, and Riot Rose, now eight months old. Check out highlights from the interview below!
On her kids having racks of clothes:
“I have racks, I have bags. They’re all sized and organized, and then whatever gets too small for RZA, I put into bins so that Riot can have them next. Riot is actually in all of RZA’s 1-year-old clothes already. He’s only six months. Everybody thinks Rocky dresses them because I dress them in Rocky outfits.”
On how many more kids she wants:
“As many as god wants me to have. I don’t know what god wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.
On “Hey” being RZA’s first word:
“I used to try to get his attention all the time, and I would say, “Hey, hey, hey.” And one day he said it back to me in the same melody and I kept singing it and he kept following it over and over again.”
On what’s in her diaper bag:
“Okay, let’s not classify this as a diaper bag. This was a diaper bag. This is a YSL mini duffle. But I kept some things from the kids in here, and I have a pair of sunglasses. I have meds. This is a part of my rolling— I call it my apparatus. You want to know what else is in here? Fenty perfume. Vicks cough drops, because I’m at rehearsals. Then a satin hair scarf. This is an Eaze Drop Stick, but it is a sample so it’s not in the right packaging. There’s also a pack of cards. Rocky taught me this game called Crazy Eights, and it gets very competitive. Actually most of our arguments stem from it…it gets very serious. But he taught me, and then he cheats, and then the rules change every time we play. It’s not just me that says this. His friends say this, too. But it’s fun. And I beat his a– sometimes, but he beats me most of the time.”
On her relationship with Rocky:
“COVID sped up our relationship, which I felt like god knew we needed because we were going to start a family. And had it not been for COVID, we would’ve taken a lot more time to get comfortable with each other, to even know that we were ready.”
” I let god lead and just let go. Because in previous relationships, I tried and tried and tried my best, and you still feel like it’s not enough. So when someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling. I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad.”
On what she is afraid of:
I’m actually afraid of [stuff]. The well-being of your kids, you worry about that constantly. Nobody warns you that having kids means you’re going to worry every second of your life. Right? And betrayal, because disappointment is one of the emotions I don’t handle well. I feel like I’m just allergic to that [stuff]
