‘I LEFT MY KIDS TO BE HERE’
Rihanna made an appearance at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards on Wednesday night in New York to support her “baby daddy” A$AP Rocky, who received the award for Best Collaboration for his work with Puma.
While chatting with E! news, the proud mom of two shared her excitement about Rocky’s achievement.
“I’m super proud. Like, this is why I’m here for. I left my kids to be here. I am super proud of their dad. That’s my baby daddy.”
She went on to explain how much Rocky has influenced fashion over the years.
“I think he’s always influenced the fashion game. He’s always had a unique sense of style that I think designers have honed in on and actually used as inspiration for collections. He’s never gotten the amount of credit that he deserves. Being here tonight, it just feels great to see him achieve something that we always knew he was a part of and influenced. And I’m proud to be here by his side. It’s a big deal.”
Rihanna also shared some details about the holidays. The couple, who share two sons,Rza and Riot, are still deciding where to celebrate.
“Oh, we’re going to spend the holidays together. We’re still figuring out where that’s going to be—if it’s going to be East Coast, West Coast, Barbados. We don’t know, but we know we’re going to be together.”
When it comes to Christmas shopping, Rihanna joked about how social media keeps adding to her list:
“Oh my gosh, leave it up to social media. There’s so much stuff that they’re throwing on your suggested posts, and all of a sudden, there are things that I didn’t even think I needed.”
Rihanna also opened up about how being a mom has shifted her priorities, especially when it comes to her music.
“”Oh, it’s impacted it greatly. My kids are my priority. Music comes second to that.”
