Rihanna recently shared a heartwarming and humorous story about how her partner, A$AP Rocky, played a significant role in their son RZA’s early speech development. The global superstar, known for her candidness, opened up during a recent interview about how A$AP Rocky’s unique approach to parenting helped their son start talking.
Rihanna, who gave birth to RZA Athelston Mayers in May 2022, described how A$AP Rocky’s playful yet dedicated involvement made a noticeable difference. “It’s crazy,” Rihanna laughed. “He would sit with RZA for hours, repeating words in this funny, exaggerated way. It wasn’t just baby talk, but almost like he was teaching him lyrics. It was like A$AP’s version of a rap class for babies.”
She explained that Rocky would often recite rhymes or lines from his music, integrating fun words and sounds to keep RZA engaged. “It was hilarious, but somehow, it worked,” Rihanna shared. “He turned it into this bonding experience, and our son loved it.”
According to Rihanna, this playful approach not only made learning fun for RZA but also sparked his curiosity and motivated him to mimic his dad’s sounds and expressions. “Rocky really has a way with him. He makes everything feel like a game, and RZA picks up on it so quickly,” she said with pride. “I was surprised at how fast our little guy started saying his first words.”
The couple, both known for their creativity, have embraced unconventional ways of parenting, allowing their son to explore language through music and play. Rihanna described their parenting style as a blend of structure and spontaneity, giving RZA the freedom to express himself while encouraging his development.
“It’s amazing watching him grow and learn. Rocky has been so hands-on, and seeing him take the time to help RZA with something as simple but important as learning to talk just melts my heart,” Rihanna added.
As their son RZA continues to reach new milestones, it’s clear that music will always be an integral part of his upbringing. With parents like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, the young boy is already on a path filled with rhythm, creativity, and love. Fans are eager to see how these early moments shape RZA’s future and the unique bond he shares with his superstar parents.
