Rihanna emulated Janelle Monáe by exposing herself in a vintage maternity photo session.
When the Bajan beauty shared numerous images from her first pregnancy with son RZA, who was born in May 2022, she grabbed attention on Thursday (May 18).
The seductive pictures show a sun-kissed RiRi happily flaunting her growing baby belly by the sea in nothing more than a pair of black bikini bottoms and some gold jewelry.
The Anti singer however made the photo shoot classy by stroking her titties, as she put it in her post, or hiding her breasts with her hands.
She wrote, “Here’s a small series I call ‘rub on ya titties. “In honor of my first pregnancy, welcoming motherhood with open arms, and the wonder this body created! Baby RZA was in the room and was completely unaware of how crazy his mother is or how obsessed he was about to make me for my maternity shoot in 2022.
It was recently reported that Rihanna’s newborn boy, whom she is expecting with boyfriend A$AP Rocky, is named RZA Athelston Mayers in honor of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan member.
The infant was born on May 13 at 10:58 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to the birth certificate, which The Daily Mail obtained earlier this month.
Rocky (real name Rakim Athelaston Mayers) was named after the influential lyricist Rakim, therefore having the same name as a Hip Hop legend runs in the family.
Last week, the happy couple held a Wu-Tang-themed party to commemorate RZA’s first birthday. Rihanna dressed as the late Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Pretty Flacko transformed into Ghostface Killah, and the infant RZA wore a costume modeled after his namesake.
In addition to the rest of her ensemble, RiRi also acquired an 18-karat diamond grill that read “Dirt,” a duplicate of the one ODB wore in the 1990s and made by the same jeweler.
In an interview with British Vogue earlier this year, the pop artist spoke candidly about becoming a parent and how it fundamentally altered her life.
She described her first nine months as a mother as “Oh my God, it’s legendary.” It’s all of it. The most absurd thing ever is that you genuinely don’t remember your previous existence.
“You literally try to remember it — and there are photos of my life before — but you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far because…because it doesn’t matter.”
RiRi joked that she feels like a third wheel at home as she gushed over the father-son relationship between Rocky and RZA.
“Whenever they’re together, I’m simply watching from the sidelines. I’m basically the girl standing in line to join the males club,” she continued. He is totally fixated on his father. “Didn’t I give birth to you?” I ask. What is happening?
“It seems clear that they are connected. He lights up the moment Rocky makes eye contact with him. Everything they say about sons and mothers is untrue. Fathers and sons are insane. I came to understand that your father is the one who can actually validate you as a boy.
