Rihanna is getting candid about her life as a mother—and it seems her children are already embracing the musical legacy of their superstar parents.
While attending the Los Angeles premiere of The Smurfs on July 13, the Grammy-winning artist and business mogul revealed that her sons, RZA, 3, and Riot, nearly 2, have a strong connection to music.
Rihanna Says Her Kids Are Naturally Drawn to Music
“Both of them love music. It’s insane,” Rihanna told E! News on the blue carpet.
Now expecting her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky, Rihanna shared that both boys have taken a noticeable interest in playing instruments. However, she playfully admitted that she’s not quite sure who deserves the credit for their talent.
“I don’t know who they get it from more,” she said. “I’m like, ‘Is that me or is that you, Rocky?’”
Riot Is Already Freestyling Like His Dad
While both boys show signs of being musically inclined, Riot appears to be following directly in A$AP Rocky’s footsteps.
“Riot, he likes to freestyle,” Rihanna revealed. “So, that’s definitely a Rocky thing.”
The couple has long been admired for their style, success, and creative influence—and now their kids seem ready to carry that torch.
A Special Gift from Rihanna’s Childhood: The Smurfs
Beyond music, Rihanna is also excited to share something from her own childhood—her love for The Smurfs. The singer stars as the voice of Smurfette in the upcoming animated movie, and she hopes the role becomes a lasting memory for her children.
“I want them to have fun when they’re watching this,” Rihanna said. “Something that they will go back to emotionally throughout their whole lives.”
She also reflected on her longtime connection to the beloved blue characters:
“I’ve always loved Smurfs. You never fall out of love with The Smurfs once you’re hooked.”
Building a Legacy of Love, Music, and Magic
As Rihanna prepares to welcome her third child, she continues to embrace motherhood in her own unique way—blending creativity, nostalgia, and cultural influence into memories her children will grow up cherishing.
With both RZA and Riot already showing signs of musical promise and a love for performance, fans may be witnessing the beginning of a new generation of Fenty-family entertainers.
