It is difficult to imagine anyone stealing the spotlight from Rihanna, yet even the global superstar admits she was gracefully upstaged by her costar during a recent magazine cover shoot: her baby daughter, Rocki.
On Wednesday (April 22), the singer and Fenty mogul offered a charming behind-the-scenes glimpse of her avant-garde editorial for W Magazine, which prominently featured her 7-month-old show-stopper. “The latest fashion prodigy has officially hit the set,” Rihanna remarked as her daughter made her appearance, playfully nodding to the signature track of her partner, A$AP Rocky.
The footage captures a series of heartwarming moments, with the hitmaker tenderly soothing and kissing her baby as she transitions between wardrobe changes. The most endearing scene finds Rihanna cradling Rocki, who gazes up at her mother with pure affection while nibbling on her fingers.
“She truly outshined me,” Rihanna quipped about her youngest child, whom she shares with A$AP Rocky alongside their two sons, RZA and Riot. “This is officially the last shoot we’ll be doing together. Who could possibly compete with this high-fashion baby?”
The mother-daughter duo graced one of the exclusive covers for the “Umbrella” singer’s W Magazine feature. The issue includes contributions from close friends and associates who share personal reflections and memories of the enigmatic icon.
“Becoming a mother has certainly shifted her perspective,” A$AP Rocky noted in the feature. “But this woman has always possessed a unique magic. The way she views the world is profound. She is the most authentic and magnetic person I’ve ever known; her energy is simply unparalleled. I absolutely adore her.”
