Rihanna, the Grammy-winning pop icon, might dominate the music charts and fashion world, but when it comes to her kids, she’s just like any other mom trying to get their attention. On April 27, she shared a hilarious Instagram Stories video featuring a banana filter on her face, with a caption that read, “Since my kids love bananas so much but wanna ignore me.” The clip, set to H.E.R.’s 2016 track “Focus,” was a lighthearted way to show how her sons, RZA (2) and Riot (20 months), were not paying attention to her, even though they adore the fruit.
The video gave fans a glimpse into Rihanna’s everyday life as a mother, showing that despite being a world-renowned superstar, she experiences the same parenting challenges as any other mom. In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna opened up about how her two boys are developing their own unique personalities. She described RZA as “magical,” with a love for music, melody, and books, while Riot, her younger son, is “just hilarious” and already showing an interest in singing.
Despite the playful video, Rihanna’s partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, shared that their kids are developing in their own ways. He mentioned that RZA is a book lover and “stays to himself,” while Riot is a social butterfly who loves getting attention from his older brother.
Rihanna’s Instagram video serves as a reminder that even superstars have to get creative to make their kids listen. The relatable mom hack, combined with her signature sense of humor, gives fans a sweet insight into her life behind the spotlight.
