Rihanna is the latest artist to be interviewed for Interview magazine, which has been conducted by none other than Mel Ottenberg.
Mel is Rihanna’s longtime stylist and is the editor-in-chief of Interview magazine, so it made perfect sense for this sit-down. In the chat, the superstar singer discusses her life, wanting to get a breast lift done, how she started dating ASAP Rocky, wanting to have more kids with him, plans for new music, what she likes best about NY and LA, and more.
“We’ve known each other for a long time. I’ve seen him in relationships. He’s seen me in relationships. We’ve seen each other outside of relationships. We knew what we’re capable of, and the trouble that we could bring to each other’s lives,” Rihanna said about how it started with Rocky. “We can make or break each other’s hearts. And so, we started dating with a lot of caution.”
“COVID sped up our relationship, which I felt like god knew we needed because we were going to start a family. And had it not been for COVID, we would’ve taken a lot more time to get comfortable with each other, to even know that we were ready,” she continued.
“I let god lead and just let go. Because in previous relationships, I tried and tried and tried my best, and you still feel like it’s not enough. So when someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling. I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad.”
When asked if she’d like to have more kids, she replied, “I don’t know what god wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.”
Regarding new music, Rihanna said she has visual ideas but not enough songs. “I have a lot of visual ideas. It’s weird. My brain is working backward right now. I usually have the music first, and the music leads me into all of these visual opportunities, and now I’m having all of these visuals, and I don’t have the songs for them yet, but maybe that’s the key, this time. Maybe the visual ideas are leading me to the songs that I need to make.”
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are the proud parents of two boys: RZA and Riot Rose.
