Rihanna revealed she and partner A$AP Rocky are keeping their ‘fingers crossed’ for a daughter after welcoming two sons.
The hip-hop power couple welcomed their first child RZA Athelaston Mayers 19 months ago and their second child Riot Rose Mayers just four months ago.
‘So far, have daughters,’ the 35-year-old Bajan pop star told E! News on Monday of what she most desires.
‘I’m batting at 75 percent for a boy next time. So, we’ll just keep our fingers crossed.’
Riri (born Robyn Fenty) revealed little RZA is camera shy: ‘He loves his reflection. But the minute he sees me with my phone, he’s like, “I’m not entertaining you. Nope, nope!”‘
The nine-time Grammy winner might have a strong sense of urgency considering her 35-year-old babydaddy is due back in court on January 8 for an arraignment for his upcoming assault trial – according to TMZ.
A$AP (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers) pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm stemming from a 2021 shooting of his longtime friend A$AP Relli (born Terell Ephron).
Prosecutors obtained video of the two-time Grammy nominee allegedly holding a gun, but there’s no video of Ephron being shot through the hand.
A$AP hired attorney Joseph Tacopina, who also represents former POTUS Donald Trump in his criminal trial involving payments made to Stormy Daniels as well as his civil trial defaming E. Jean Carroll.
The Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n) rapper’s late Bajan father reportedly went to prison when he was only 12, and he spent his teen years moving around homeless shelters with his mother and sister.
A$AP and Rihanna confirmed their romance in 2020 – nine years after she first enlisted him to rap on her song Cockiness (Love It).
‘I think we do a real great job at collaborating making children,’ the native New Yorker told Complex on November 17.
‘I think that’s our best creation so far! Nothing is better than [RZA and Riot] out there. I mean, we had a third designer come and help, a ghost designer named God, [who] shaped everything. And we had these beautiful angels.’
Speaking of collaborations, the Savage X Fenty founder might very well appear on A$AP’s forthcoming, fourth studio album Don’t Be Dumb.
With her family expanding, Rihanna – whose last album Anti came out in 2016 – will not be releasing her long-delayed ninth studio album anytime soon.
For her song Lift Me Up from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack, the Super Bowl LVII halftime performer will compete for the best song written for visual media trophy at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, which air February 4 on CBS.
