Rihanna shares her little boy’s reaction when he found out he’s not going to the Oscars

Rihanna jokingly posted about how her little boy reacted when he found out he wouldn’t be attending the Oscars – but his unborn sibling would.

The “We Found Love” singer – who recently revealed she’s pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky – performs her single “Lift Me Up,” which is included with Black Panther: Wakanda Foreverfor the awards ceremony this weekend.

She shared two pictures and a short video clip of her son on Instagram on Sunday (March 5). In the first photo, the little boy – whose name has not yet been released – appeared to be in tears as he looked up at his mother from his crib.

In the caption, she joked, “My son when he found out his siblings go to the Oscars and not him.”

A second photo and video clip shows him in a much happier mood while watching Rihanna’s music video for “Lift Me Up.”

The Barbadian heroine’s song was nominated for Best Original Song, marking her first Oscar nomination.

Rocky, whose birth name is Rakim Athelaston Mayers, commented on the post and wrote: “MR MAYERS [red heart emoji].”

The couple’s famous friends gushed over how cute their baby is, with Cara Delevingne posting heart-eyed emojis over “that face” and Viola Davis declaring him a “cute cake.”

Lindsay Lohan also commented that Rihanna and Rocky’s son was “so cute,” while Busta Rhymes said, “Young king.”

Rihanna, Rocky and their baby appeared on the cover of British Vogue last month, which featured her first family portraits.

In the cover photo, the “Diamonds” singer holds Rocky’s hand as they stroll down a beach while holding their son with his other arm.

She reflected on her decision to share the first photos of her son on her own terms in the accompanying interview, recalling a moment when paparazzi snapped photos of him without her consent.

“I just went straight into protection mode. There wasn’t even time for anger,” she said British Vogue. “As a parent, it just feels so gross, like an injury.”

Rihanna confirmed her second pregnancy while performing at the Super Bowl 2023 halftime show last month. During the performance, she wore a bright red jumpsuit with a red bodysuit underneath that showed off her growing belly.
