Rihanna is hitting back after a fan criticized her sons’ names.
On Saturday, March 8, the singer, 37, shared a post on Instagram in honor of International Women’s Day, posting two photos from when she gave birth to her sons RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 19 months.
She took a minute in her caption to honor how hard being a mom can be, writing, “by far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman…my little miracles! #InternationalWomensDay.”
“1- RZA 2- Riot Rose. And yes I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening,” she added.
However, in the comments, one person criticized Rihanna’s sons’ names. “I hate their names so bad,” the person wrote in a since-deleted comment, per E! News.
“Ok tatiana,” Rihanna wrote back, tagging the user.
Rihanna shares her two sons with partner A$AP Rocky, whom she’s been with since 2020.
In February, Rihanna opened up about Rocky, 36, as a dad in a new interview with Harper’s Bazaar, declaring that the “greatest thing” about the rapper “is seeing him be a dad. His pureness. His charm.”
“I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” the singer told the outlet. “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.”
In that same interview, the Fenty Beauty founder revealed that her two sons both have unique personalities — and share an affinity for music.
“RZA is just an empath,” Rihanna said. “He’s so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything.”
As for her younger son Riot, whom she welcomed in August 2023, she said that he’s “just hilarious” and teased that he takes after his mom in wanting to “sing” during his waking hours.
“When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing,” she said. “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.”
Rihanna jokingly added, referencing his lively personality: “I don’t know where he came from, dude.”
