‘We have been protecting him thus far’: Fans Cry Hypocrisy as Rihanna Blasts Reporter for Taking Pictures of Her Baby Without Consent, Then Herself Posting it on Twitter
In 2003, Robyn Rihanna Fenty started her music career after performing for music producers Evan Rogers and Carl Struken. Rihanna rose to fame in 2007 after releasing her album Good Girl Gone Bad. Her single Umbrella won her first Grammy. In the years since then, the legendary singer has had back-to-back hits. As a singer, she has won numerous awards, including nine Grammys, 13 American Music Awards, 12 Billboard Music Awards, and six Guinness World Records. In her debut performance at London’s O2 Arena, she was the first female solo act to sell out ten shows.
Rihanna has emphasized the importance of protecting her son’s privacy.
Rihanna has always been in the spotlight, whether it’s for her grandiose concerts, hit albums, or relationship ties with industry A-listers. In recent years, she got together with A$AP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers. He’s a rapper who has made a name for himself in the music industry with singles like Praise the Lord.
In a cover interview for the March issue of British Vogue, the singer, who recently disclosed she’s expecting her second child, discusses keeping her son out of the limelight. The Love in the Brain artist revealed an emotional moment when shooting the magazine’s cover with her kid. She observed a few paparazzi in the distance trying to snapshots of her baby boy, which was yet to be shared with the public.
“It’s the kind of thing you never want to happen,” RiRi said. “As parents, we get to choose when and how we do this. That’s the end of the narrative.”
The two talents have always been supportive of each other’s careers, whether it’s acting in a music video or collaborating on skincare commercials. But Rihanna and Rocky’s romance was confirmed to be official in 2021. The duo has been inseparable since then. The couple is currently expecting their second child together.

RiRi said, “Put me to the wolves. You can do whatever you want with me. But he has no say in the matter.” The singer went on,
“We’ve been protecting him so far, and you don’t have my permission to post or sell images of my underage child. I yelled, ‘Get the hell out of here,’ and we went straight into protective mode, leaving the beach where they were shooting to work out a plan of action with Rocky.”
“I immediately went into defensive mode. It’s as if there was no time for wrath. Rocky and I went up to the trailer area and sat in the car, chatting and planning our next steps. It just feels horrible, like a betrayal to us as parents,” she explained.
In 2023, Rihanna’s halftime show had a higher rating than the game. In total, 118.7 million people watched the international pop icon’s halftime show across all platforms, making it the second-most-watched halftime show in history.
