The singer, who shares sons RZA, 2, and Riot, 12 months, with rapper A$AP Rockybrought Instagram on Friday, September 27, to share an adorable video of her oldest son trying to claw his way out of a playpen.

As another hilarious touch, Rihanna added the theme song Mission impossible to accompany the mail.
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s whole world changed after they became parents. “It’s everything. You really don’t remember your life before, which is the craziest thing ever,” Rihanna told British Vogue in a February 2023 cover story. “You literally try to remember – and there are pictures of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, […]
It’s not the first time Rihanna and Rocky have poked fun at how tough parenting can be.
In an interview with Billboard in August, A$AP Rocky (real name Rakim Mayers) admitted his children’s obsession with the cartoon, Cocomelongets on his nerves.
“That drives me crazy!” Rocky, 35, joked, adding: “Don’t tell my girl I said that. I’m kidding. I don’t give a damn. She’s probably tired of it too.’
In the same interview, Rocky spoke about the balancing act required to juggle both his and Rihanna’s busy careers with the workload that comes with being a parent.
“It’s crazy how we find balance in our chaotic schedules,” he told the outlet.
However, the rapper added that it helped that he and Rihanna were in the same industry and complimented the singer on the way she handles juggling.
“[The relationship] things are going great,” the “Purple Swag” singer said. “I don’t think there could be a more perfect person because when schedules are hectic, she is very understanding. And when the schedule opens up, you can spend money [the] most of the time together. It’s all about understanding and compatibility.”
Rocky first confirmed that he and Rihanna were a romantic item in an interview with GQ in May 2021, describing her as “The One.”
“So much better when you have The One,” the rapper gushed to the outlet. “She probably represents about a million of the others. … I think when you know, you know. She’s the one.”
While Rihanna and A$AP Rocky started out as music collaborators, their connection grew into something more. A$AP confirmed in an interview with GQ in May 2021 that he was dating Rihanna, calling her “The One.” A month earlier, a source told Us Weekly that the pair were seen “holding hands and laughing” during a night out […]
The couple welcomed their first child, RZA, in May 2022, while Riot arrived in August 2023.
While Rihanna loves being a “boy mom,” the “Umbrella” singer shared Interview magazine in June, she is open to having a daughter – or even a son – one day.
“I’d go for more than two,” she said. ‘I would try it for my girl. But if it is another boy, of course it is also another boy.”
