Why Rihanna Says Being a Mom of 2 Boys Is an “Olympic Sport”

When it comes to raising her little ones, Rihanna is putting in that work, work, work, work, work. 

The singer showed off her and A$AP Rocky’s older son RZA, 2, putting his agility and climbing skills on display in a  Sept. 28 video, that prompted her to muse, “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport."

In the video, set to the Mission Impossible theme song, RZA channeled his inner Tom Cruise as he scales the sides of his pack in play attempting to climb out. When it seems like little RZA has managed to almost get over the side that isn’t protected, Rihanna’s hand appears in the frame and carefully places him back into the play pin.

RZA quickly rethinks his escape plan and makes his way to the opposite side, and this time manages to extend his legs over once more—landing safely on the couch. After making his escape, RZA walks and picks up a cup and sips water as Rihanna—who also shares 12-month-old Riot with A$AP—ends the video.

In May, the “Fashion Killa” rapper, 34, showed off more of RZA’s wild—and sweet—moments in honor of his second birthday.

Next to a carousel of photos which included one of him, Rihanna, also 34, and Riot posing with an upside down RZA, “HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY 2 MY 1^ST BORN BABY BOY RZA.”

The Savage Fenty founder isn’t shy about her obsession with being a boy mom—despite that making her like the only girl in her home.

"It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom," she told E! News in April. "I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman and female and all my femininity—I embrace it so much more now."
