Rihanna describes her experience raising two boys | fab.ng

Award-winning singer Rihanna recently opened up about her journey raising her two sons, Riot and RZA, alongside her partner ASAP Rocky. She shared both her excitement and the unique challenges of motherhood.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she expressed that life with her boys is anything but dull. Further, she highlighted the constant energy and joy they bring to her days.

“I want to have a girl, but I won’t know what to do because I only know about boys so far, but it’d be an adventure,” she admitted.

Rihanna described the exciting and sometimes chaotic experience of raising young boys, saying,

“The boy energy in my house is the best. It’s never a dull moment, and I love when they climb onto chandeliers, and I love it when they are literally so scary that I’m forced to have fun. Them running around and me lifting them up is all fun and exercise. It works out for ASAP, me and our kids.”

@entertainmenttonight Will Rihanna be the Only Girl in her household? 😳 We caught up with RiRi at the Fenty x Puma Avanti launch, where she admits to loving boy mom life… but would like a daughter in the future! #rihanna ♬ original sound – Entertainment Tonight

The couple welcomed their first son, RZA Athelson, on Friday, May 13, 2022. Then, in February 2023, Rihanna made an unforgettable announcement about her second pregnancy during her electrifying Super Bowl halftime performance. Wearing a bold, form-fitting red jumpsuit, she unzipped her outfit and gently rubbed her stomach, proudly revealing her growing belly.

The surprise announcement took the world by storm, sending fans and social media into a happy frenzy. By August 2023, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky welcomed their “Super Bowl baby,” born at 7:41 am at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. In keeping with their tradition of “R” names, they named their second son Riot Rose.

Veekee James claps back at troll who insulted her looks | fab.ng

Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has clapped back at a troll criticising her appearance. The troll, commenting on James’ Instagram post, claimed that her beauty was solely due to filters and wigs.

In response, James posted a video directly addressing the hater on October 25, 2024. Without makeup or a wig, she emphasized the importance of positive online behaviour and its impact on others. James’ message was clear: she is beautiful in her natural state and will not tolerate negativity.

“The problem with many of you is that you are not very smart,” she started.

She continued, “Many of you aren’t very smart because you should be very intentional about the kind of energy you give off and where you give off that energy because, whether it be negative energy or positive energy, you should be concerned about the result of the energy you give off.”

A post shared by Pulse Nigeria (@pulsenigeria247)

Veekee James advised the troll to focus their energy on something more productive.

She emphasized that negative comments would not affect her self-esteem. She said,

“If you come on my page and drop something that is supposed to make me feel ashamed of something that is supposed to make me feel bad, you should be ready to see that it yields results, right? Based on the fact that you know what I’m someone who feels ashamed when people say stuff about me, when people say negative things about me, then you should know that this energy your bringing is going to hit.”

“But if you know that when you keep giving some of energy and it’s not giving results, my brother, my sister, why are you wasting your time? Why waste your time where you won’t get results?” the designer added.

Veekee stated that negative comments do not bother her as much as the troll might think.

“It’s clear you’re not purpose or self-driven, who would be ashamed to come on social media with my natural face?”

She embraced her natural beauty, saying, “This is the face of someone who hasn’t slept in days and has been under the sun. This is a perfect face and a face designer by God, and skin created by the almighty. He made me in his own image I’m 100 percent. If you want to talk rubbish, go to the place where it might be appreciated… You can’t shame the shameless; I am unapologetically me.”
