Rihanna opened up about her "legendary" experience with motherhood thus far in a recent interview with British Vogue.
The 34-year-old hitmaker gave birth to her son last May. The baby boy, whose name has not yet been revealed, is her first child with A$AP Rocky.
"At first he was open, then he was like, 'Nah, I want a boy, I'm sure,'" Rihanna said of Rocky. "I was just like, 'Lord, please let this man get what he wants.'"
The Fenty Beauty founder said she enjoys getting her son's outfits custom-made because baby clothes are "sooo boring."
"One of my favorite outfits he has is a miniature version of one of Rocky's," she told British Vogue. "I like to dress him in things that don't look like baby clothes. I like to push it. I put him in floral stuff. I put him in hot pink. I love that. I think that fluidity in fashion is best. I always shop in the men's department, you know."
"Let's get these kids cool," she added. "These kids deserve to be cool."
Rihanna, who made headlines for her daring maternity style, revealed her second pregnancy on Sunday during her performance at the 2023 Super Bowl, wearing an all-red ensemble by Loewe.
"Dressing for pregnancy was such a piece of cake," she told British Vogue. "But dressing in postpartum, what the fuck do you do? The week that I came home from the hospital — that was nothing but sweats and hoodies. But the weeks after that, you don't know what to put on. Everything is too small or too big."
"You kind of just gotta wait it out otherwise you end up buying so many clothes you're not going to use," she continued. "Well, unless you get pregnant again."
Rihanna said that giving birth was "beautiful," despite the "head-fuck" that followed.
"I cannot believe it," she said. "Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It's nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don't sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to. We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby."
All three members of the family are featured on the magazine's March 2023 cover, photographed by Inez & Vinoodh.
Rihanna said that revealing their child on their own terms was important to the couple, and that paparazzi taking photos of her son feels like "a violation."
"Throw me to the wolves. Do what you want with me. But he doesn't have a say in any of this," she said. "We've been protecting him thus far and you don't have any consent to be posting photos or selling photos of my child, a minor. Get the hell out of here with that."
