Weeks after paparazzi cameras gave a first glimpse, Baby Rocki has made her official public debut. Now, the internet is lovingly debating whether Rihanna and A$AP Rocky‘s third child favors mom or dad more!
Talk about being too cute and full circle!! Rocki made her debut in W magazine in Rihanna’s arms. She wore a one-of-a-kind Dior Haute Couture diaper and headpiece designed by Dior’s creative director, Johnathan Anderson. The mommy-daughter duo graced the cover for W’s Pop Issue, where they praised her two decades in the industry and all her chapters since. For this issue, W asked her partner, A$AP Rocky, and her industry peers, including Mariah Carey, Sarah Paulson, Mary J. Blige, and more,to speak on their experiences with the pop star!
When it comes to Rihanna, Rocky told W she’s changed a lot, especially since becoming a mother in the time they’ve known each other.
“A$AP Rocky, musician, actor, and partner to Rihanna: She has changed a lot because she became a mother in that time span, and that certainly changes you. But this woman has always been magic. Philosophically, the way she operates is on another level. She is the most charming and genuine person on Earth. Her energy is unmatchedone of a kind. I just adore her,” Rocky told W.
Rihanna shared her W magazine cover early Tuesday, captioning the post, “Cover girrrrrlz!!! baby Rocki served sum serious on her first cover! Came on set and shut her mama dowwwwwwnn!!”Aside from fans flooding the post, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s industry friends dropped by with heart eyes and compliments on Rocki’s magazine slay!
Nia Long, for example,wrote, “The hardest,” with heart and heart-eyed emojis. Joseline Hernandez, who recently announced her own pregnancy, dropped red hearts, and LaLa, Joie Chavis and Christina Milan commented heart-eyes.
Meanwhile, Kerry Washingtonwrote, “Come ONNNN,” and Chloe Bailey commented, “2 stunners” with heart eyes.
Jill Scott added, “She is wonderful. I want to hold her and read her fantastic stories of joy and victory. Beautiful baby gurrr.”
While Rocki appeared on the cover, the issue emphasizes on the experiences her peers have had with her over the year. SZA talked about Rihanna encouraging her to wear what she wanted on the 2016 Brit Awards stage. A$AP Rocky revealed that they enjoy watching documentaries together, and have seen El Cantante at least 15 times. Dior’s creative director told W that Rihanna is different from other celebs because she “knows exactly who she is and what works on her.”
What the article didn’t focus on was whether Rocki’s debut is making way for baby number four. It’s all the internet has obsessed about in recent weeks. Rumors have bubbled up, the womb-watchers have stitch opinion videos to recent photos of the mother of three. Recently, she slid in the comment section of one such video and wrote, “Is the baby in the womb with us?” We call that, CLOCKED.
