During the performance, Rihanna rubbed her belly indicating the ‘special guest’ patrons anxiously waited on.
According to TMZ, the Rude Boy hitmaker gave birth on 3 August 2023 in Los Angeles and a little birdie told the publication that it’s a boy and his name starts with "R”. Rihanna and her partner rapper A$AP Rocky have a son called RZA Athelston Mayers, in a nod to the famous leader of the Wu-Tang Clan hip hop group.
