Elsewhere in theHarper’sinterview, Rihanna discussed her kids' personalities.
“RZA is just an empath, she said of her eldest son.
“He’s so magical.
Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything.”
The singer said that her youngest son is more rambunctious.
“Riot, he’s just hilarious,” she said.
“When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream.
Not in a crying way.
He just wants to sing.
And Im like, ‘Okay, here we go!’
He’s my alarm in the morning!
He’s not taking no for an answer from anyone.
I don’t know where he came from, dude.”
Rihanna also described her partner’s parenting style.
“And Im like, ‘Did you know who cooked you?
Do you know who pushed you out?’
And they love him, but when I see it, oh, its the best.”
