Rihanna might be the queen of the stage and the fashion world, but when it comes to parenting, even she can be left completely speechless — especially by the adorable honesty of her two young sons, RZA and Riot.
In a now-viral clip shared by a close family friend, the Diamonds singer is seen sitting on the floor of her sunlit living room, gently rubbing her baby bump. With RZA, 3, on one side and baby Riot, barely 1, in her lap, Rihanna casually asks the question every expecting parent eventually poses:
“So, do you want the baby to be a little brother or a little sister?”
RZA thinks for a moment, then leans in confidently and says, “A puppy.”
Rihanna’s eyes widened as she looked at him, stunned into silence. Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky, sitting just off-camera, let out a loud, infectious laugh that filled the room.
“Yo, he said a puppy, not a baby!” Rocky chuckled, clearly loving every second of his son’s unexpected answer.
Riot, too young to speak in full sentences, followed his big brother’s lead — clapping and giggling at the word “puppy,” as if it were the best idea he’d ever heard.
Rihanna, caught between laughter and disbelief, finally responded:
“I don’t think that’s how it works, baby…”
But fans would say differently — the moment definitely worked for them.
The sweet, unfiltered exchange quickly made waves on social media after a friend close to the couple shared the story during an interview. Within hours, hashtags like #RihannaMoments, #RZAForPresident, and #PuppyOverBaby began trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
“He’s just like his mama — full of surprises,” one fan commented.
Another wrote, “Can someone get this kid a puppy, please?”
While Rihanna has yet to publicly share the gender of her third child, the moment has only heightened excitement around her growing family. Known for fiercely guarding her children’s privacy, this rare peek into their day-to-day lives gave fans a glimpse of Rihanna not as a pop icon or beauty mogul — but as a mom, laughing alongside her family over a perfectly innocent and hilarious answer.
A$AP Rocky later joked about the moment in a brief sidewalk interview, saying, “I think we’re getting a puppy either way now. RZA might’ve made that decision for us.”
Rihanna, currently glowing through her third pregnancy, has spoken in recent interviews about how motherhood has changed everything for her — from her priorities to her creative process.
“Being a mom has made me softer and stronger at the same time,” she said earlier this year. “These boys are my whole world.”
And clearly, that world now includes some puppy talk.
Whether their third child is a boy, a girl, or ends up sharing the nursery with a golden retriever, one thing is clear: the Fenty family is full of love, laughter, and moments that melt hearts around the world.
As one fan perfectly put it:
“Rihanna’s kids already have main character energy — and now they’re writing the plot too.
