TMZ has published photos of Rihanna hanging out backstage while her baby daddy A$AP Rocky performed at the Smokers Club Festival. Rihanna couldn’t let A$AP do it alone on stage and had to fully support him from backstage.
Despite rumors that A$AP Rocky tried cheating on a British mother-of-three Jilly O’Donnell, they are still going strong as they prepare to welcome their baby.
A$AP headlined at the Smokers Club Festival Saturday night in WeHo, and RiRi was backstage showing her support.She’s reportedly just weeks away from giving birth to her first child, but showing up at the club was clearly important to her.
There’s been lots of drama over the last few weeks. As we reported, A$AP was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon last month in connection with a shooting last November in Hollywood.
A$AP and Rihanna were blindsided by cops who met them at LAX and hooked Rocky up. They then searched his house for weapons but did not find the gun used in the shooting.
There have also been media reports of Rocky cheating, although sources connected to the couple dismiss them as BS.
Rihanna should be ready to pop the baby out very soon.
n early March, during Paris Fashion Week, the pop superstar and beauty-and-fashion mogul Rihanna arrived at the Dior show wearing a black-lace cocktail dress. The dress, designed by Dior, worn sans its original slip, was completely transparent, revealing a bra and underwear from Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty line. Accessorized with a pair of spike-heeled, patent-leather boots, an off-the-shoulder leather trenchcoat, and a tangle of silver necklaces, the look artfully combined the stateliness of a “Bridgerton”-style Empire silhouette with a hint of Courtney Love in her kinderwhore-baby-doll era, and a dollop of Siouxsie Sioux-style goth. The focus of the outfit, however, was unquestionably Rihanna’s pregnant belly, exposed through the fine mesh of her dress. In a clip that went viral on social media, Rihanna was seen gliding through a scrum of photographers into the Jardin des Tuileries show space, her hands proudly placed on her abdomen, when an attendee heckled her tardiness. “You’re late!” an unseen woman was heard calling. “No sh*t,” Rihanna said, as she continued on, barely glancing in the direction of the irate punter. (“lol queen things,” one person tweeted, in response to the video.)
“No shit,” too, could be taken as a way to sum up Rihanna’s approach toward her pregnancy style since she first went public with her impending motherhood, this past January. Posing with her partner, the rapper A$AP Rocky, in Harlem, she wore a pair of ultra-long frayed jeans and a pink Chanel coat with no shirt underneath it, thrown open to showcase, as the Daily Mail wrote, her “bare baby bump,” adorned with a mass of jewelled chains, “ensuring all eyes were on her growing stomach.” No sh*t, she was pregnant, her getup and poise seemed to imply. And here was the proof, not to be subtly and modestly elided, with one palm placed on a demurely swaddled belly’s hillock, but rather flaunted, unbendingly, whether on the street, in the front row, or on the red carpet.
