Recently, Rihanna told a sweet and funny tale about how her spouse A$AP Rocky was instrumental in their son RZA’s early speech development. The well-known celebrity, who is renowned for her honesty, said candidly in a recent interview on how A$AP Rocky’s distinctive parenting style encouraged their son to speak.
RZA Athelston Mayers was born in May 2022, and Rihanna talked about how A$AP Rocky’s committed and light-hearted presence made a big difference. “It’s absurd,” Rihanna chuckled. He would spend hours sitting next to RZA and laughing and exaggerating words. It sounded more like he was teaching him lyrics than just baby babble. It resembled A$AP’s take on a baby rap class.
She clarified that in order to keep RZA interested, Rocky would frequently recite songs or rhymes while including catchy words and sounds. Rihanna said, “It was hilarious, but somehow, it worked.” “Our son loved it when he turned it into this bonding experience.”
Rihanna claims that this light-hearted approach encouraged RZA to imitate his dad’s sounds and facial expressions, piqued his curiosity, and made learning enjoyable for him. “He’s really attracted to Rocky.” She boasted, “He makes everything feel like a game, and RZA picks up on it so quickly.” “How quickly our little guy began saying his first words surprised me.”
The pair, who are both well-known for their inventiveness, have adopted nontraditional parenting styles and let their son use play and music to learn languages. Rihanna characterised their parenting approach as a fusion of spontaneity and order, allowing RZA the autonomy to express himself while fostering his growth.
“Watching him develop and learn is incredible. 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 A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, the young child is already headed down a path full of love, creativity, and rhythm. Fans are eager to see how these early moments shape RZA’s future and the unique bond he shares with his superstar parents.
