• Rihanna told the outlet that RZA is “So magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything”.

• As per ‘People’, she added that the tot was “an empath”. As for her younger son Riot, whom she welcomed in August 2023, the ‘Umbrella’ singer said that he's “just hilarious” and teased that he takes after his mom in wanting to “sing” all the time.

• “When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing”, she noted to the fashion title. “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”.

• The singer also quipped that Riot’s personality mirrors her own, joking, “I don’t know where he came from, dude”.

• She went on to touch upon the more challenging aspects of parenthood in the interview, too, revealing that RZA initially struggled with the idea of welcoming a sibling but eventually came around to being a big brother.
