The singer, who is expected to release new music this year, was  also accompanied by boyfriend ASAP Rocky, with the couple expected to attend a string of shows over the coming days.

This will be the second child for the mogul and her boyfriend. The couple have been in a relationship since 2020.

Speaking to the magazine, Rihanna said Rocky is her ‘best friend’ and admitted she can’t remember what her life was like before having her son in May 2022.

She said of becoming a mother: ‘It’s everything, you really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever.’

Rihanna said her first few months as a mother were a rollercoaster and described giving birth as a ‘head-f**k’, saying she couldn’t believe she entered the hospital pregnant and left with a baby.

Rihanna admitted that having a child has also made her reevaluate as she described raising her son as one of the ‘scariest’ responsibilities ever in her life.

She said: ‘Raising a young Black man is one of the scariest responsibilities in life […] ‘You’re like, ‘What am I leaving my kids to? This is the planet they’re gonna be living on?’

‘Everything changes when you have a baby but I wouldn’t say it’s done anything but made us closer,’ she added.
