As the pair has yet to confirm that the child is a boy, a source claims that they intend to raise him in Rihanna’s birthplace. Hollywood paparazzi may have a more difficult time uploading new photographs of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. According to a source, the couple has opted to raise their child in Barbados. According to reports, the 34-year-old singer will spend three months in Los Angeles before returning to her Caribbean home island with her child and his rapper father ASAP Rocky, 33.
What is the gender of the baby?
Rihanna and Rocky have been dating since 2021, and their first kid was allegedly born on May 19 in Los Angeles. Many media agencies have reported that the baby is a boy, although the couple has yet to confirm this. “Rihanna loves Barbados and she enjoyed growing up there,” a source told the Sunday Mirror. “She wants to offer her baby the same experience she had — away from the world of show business,” the person continued. Because she and ASAP’s families are both from Barbados, the couple intends to relocate there in the coming months.” After welcoming the baby son ASAP Rocky, Chris Brown congratulates Rihanna.
Why are Rihanna and A$AP Rocky keeping it a secret?
According to the news, the singer had a baby boy. Rihanna’s first public appearance since giving birth began leaking online on Friday, May 20. She was caught leaving her West Hollywood house wearing a large grey sweater and loose black leggings. Rihanna disputed that the photographs are current. “That was weeks ago lolol,” she captioned the shot when she shared it on Instagram.
Rumours on Twitter
On Twitter, there were varied reactions to rumours that the pair might return to the Caribbean. “Rihanna is returning to Barbados to raise her son, major news for Barbados; direct and indirect,” one person said. “So Rihanna, the baby, and ASAP are heading back home,” stated another. That’s correct…back to Barbados.”
Meanwhile, some speculated that the alleged move may jeopardise the icon’s career in music. The tweet claimed, “Rihanna will practically abandon us to raise her baby in Barbados.” Another added in: “Rihanna’s decision to raise baby Fenty in Barbados assures me that R9 will never materialise. Enjoy the old garbage while streaming and purchasing it.”
