Rihanna’s Baby Bump On Display While Singer Grubs On “Drive-Tru”

by

Second time’s a charm for Rihanna, who is expecting Baby No. 2 within a few years. The singer and her beau, A$AP Rocky, turned their longtime friendship into romance, and they’ve been inseparable. It was only a matter of time before they took the big leap into parenthood, and eyes were keenly squared on the Hip Hop couple. We have yet to learn what RiRi and Rocky named their firstborn son, so it may be some time before they reveal what they’ll call the second. Throughout her first pregnancy, Rihanna’s baby bump photos took over social media, and the same can be said for her second go-round.

On her Instagram Story, the hitmaker gave an up-close-and-personal look at her growing belly. Pregnancies often warrant cravings around the clock, so it was fitting that the photos accompanied plates of food. The meals were sitting pretty on her lap, and Ri added a note: “Drive-tru.” This peek at Rihanna’s baby bump is one of few sightings of the singer since her epic Super Bowl performance. It was then that she revealed her second pregnancy while on a stage upwards of 60 feet off the ground.

Ready For Parenthood

It seems like a lifetime ago, but only a little over a month back, Rihanna stormed the halftime stage. The singer gave renditions of her greatest hits to a roaring stadium. Her fans and peers were in the audience singing along, including A$AP Rocky, who grinned from ear to ear. Rihanna’s baby bump was fully displayed as she donned an all-red ensemble. It was rumored that not even her dozens of dancers knew she was expecting. It is unclear when her due date may be, but she looks close to welcoming her next little one.

In an interview with Vogue just about a year ago, Ri detailed what she wanted out of motherhood. Of her children, she said, “They’re going to teach me more than I could ever teach them. And I want them to go for it. I want to see who they are in the world, who they become.” She added, “I’m just here to keep them on the rails—a passenger as much as the driver.” Check out Rihanna’s baby bump above.

Chrisean Rock Caught Smoking Blunt Amid Pregnancy

by

Chrisean Rock’s pregnancy’s been highly debated, but recent footage of her smoking a blunt should make the conversation much tougher to have. Moreover, a video surfaced on social media of her with a blunt between her fingers while sitting shotgun in a parked car. After rolling the window down and up, Chrisean turns, brings the blunt close to her face, and presumably smokes despite being pregnant. In the backseat, as the video shows, Blueface sat calmly as they listened to blaring hip-hop in their vehicle. However, the video doesn’t show Rock explicitly bringing it to her lips, inhaling, and puffing smoke out, so maybe she has a chance to deny she smoked from it.

As of writing this article, the reality TV star’s made no such response. Meanwhile, people expressed a lot of concern for her in the comments section. The only reason why her pregnancy fell under scrutiny is because of Blueface’s claims, so many felt that people shouldn’t defend her behavior as much and believe her story. After all, even more people said that it’s fine to smoke while pregnant, and that they know people who were just fine.

Chrisean Rock Smokes Blunt While Pregnant

Regardless, it seemed like quite the back and forth online. “I know so many women who has smoked during their pregnancy with their doctors aware. Baby just fine,” one user wrote. Another commented, “So yall really know people who smoke weed while pregnant and yall never said anything to them???? That is sad and insane….” Wherever you land on that spectrum, it certainly makes the gossip around whether she’s expecting more interesting, if you buy into it in the first place. Still, she seems dead set on having her child, as she recently clapped back at trolls saying she should take Blueface’s $100K offer for an abortion.

Despite all this debate, a similar argument came up when a video surfaced of Rock drinking at a Miami club. “Is she pregnant or not or is she drinking while pregnant I’m confused now,” her rapper boyfriend from California tweeted. “I’ve only seen her pee on a stick once I tried not to think about it since then but it’s haunting me fr.” Many see these as exaggerated digs at her, but it’s undeniable that she doesn’t make the claims easy to fight.

Chrisean Rock Considers An Abortion After Latest Spat With Blueface

by

Chrisean Rock considered getting an abortion during a recent live stream, amid her latest drama with Blueface. Since Rock announced the pregnancy, earlier this year, Blueface and others have cast doubt as to whether she’s actually expecting. Blueface has also demanded a paternity test, suggesting that he’s not the father.

“Damn, I might should just kill this baby,” Rock admitted during the stream. “I pray she gets the strength to leave that boy alone,” one fan commented on a repost from The Neighborhood Talk. Another wrote that Rock and Blueface’s relationship has turned them off of love: “I don’t ever want to even THINK I love somebody this much to live this type of life with a man.”

Rock’s comments come after Blueface recently suggested she should get an abortion on social media. The rapper shared a video of his baby mother, Jaidyn Alexis, on Instagram with the caption: “This is what it’s supposed to look like when a women tells a man she pregnant. ny other response or question you should abort the baby an treat the next n***a better for the sake of you him an the baby. No man should question the paternity of a child if they do 9x outta 10 the women hasn’t been valuing herself enough which makes them believe theirs a possibility it’s not theirs this is a wholesome beautiful moment that every righteous women deserves fr.”

Blueface and Chrisean Rock currently star in their own reality series, Crazy in Love. Blueface stated that he broke up with Rock during a post, earlier this year, but Rock later downplayed his comments. “[Blueface is] just being a clown,” Rock told Complex at the time. “He’s just mad that I went to Baltimore and didn’t tell him. I said I was in L.A. with my home girl Stunna [Girl] and I wasn’t. I was in Baltimore with my family.” Check out Rock’s latest live stream below.

Chrisean Rock Shares Baby Bump Pics

by

Chrisean Rock posted selfies flaunting her baby bump on social media, earlier this week, just two months after announcing her pregnancy with Blueface. The post comes as many fans have speculated that Rock was lying about expecting a child.

Fans on social media had mixed reactions to the post. “The baby gonna need a pack of Newport and therapy the first week out,” one user commented on a repost from The Shade Room. Others were more optimistic: “She looks sober, and clean. This baby could be the thing to saves her. I don’t think we’ve ever seen her looks this alive. The world is so judgmental like y’all ain’t never been through anything. It might not have been as bad as her situation. But Jesus definitely isn’t on this thread for it to be so negative.” One called on fans who accused her of lying about the pregnancy to apologize: “Y’all owe her an apology cause she was not lying.”

Among the people to express doubt that Rock is truly pregnant is Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Saffold. She shared the theory on her Instagram Story, earlier this month. “She holding it out to [sic] far that belly look 6 months pregnant,” Saffold wrote. “Tighten up it ain’t even been two months yet.” In a follow-up Instagram Story, she said: “If she pregnant tell her let’s pull up the ultrasound clinic in Hollywood and I’ll pay for it. Tomorrow.”

Rock first revealed her pregnancy on Blueface’s 26th birthday in January. At the time, she also admitted to getting several abortions in the past. “So what happens wen you eat all ya evil words … I haven’t sexually been active with no one but u n plus there’s can a DNA test,” she tweeted. “N ion need yo money I got my own I don’t need a baby Daddy I’m just having this child because I don’t want to keep aborting.”

Blueface’s Mom Keeps Claiming Chrisean Rock Is Faking Pregnancy

by

Blueface’s mom Karlissa Saffold just continued to allege that Chrisean Rock is faking her pregnancy on Instagram. Moreover, she took to her Story to send more shots at the social media star and singer. Firstly, she called out a recent video of the couple where Rock allegedly stretches out her belly to seem more along the way. Not only that, but she even offered to pay for services at an ultrasound clinic in Hollywood to set the record straight. While neither party seems to have responded to her messages at the moment, only time will tell if there’s a clapback.

“She holding it out [too] far,” Blue’s mother wrote in her first Story post. “That belly look 6 months pregnant [laughing emoji] tighten up it ain’t even been 2 months 1/20 to 3/5.” Furthermore, she continued, “If she pregnant tell her let’s pull up to the ultrasound clinic in Hollywood and I’ll pay for it. [shrugging emoji] Tomorrow.” Also, she included a DM exchange between her and a fan who agreed that Chrisean allegedly exaggerated her belly. “I remember pretending to be pregnant once back when but I was trying to get $500 for a fake abortion [laughing emojis].” Then, she captioned that post with “I don’t know what to tell y’all so please stop asking me.”

Blueface’s Mom Further Alleges Chrisean Rock’s Faking Pregnancy

Of course, this isn’t the first time the California rapper’s mother blasted his girlfriend. “Words of the wise,” Karlissa began a post concerning Chrisean not spending the holidays with Blueface. “Don’t boast about how a man kicked his family out for you. But expect people to feel sorry for you when you’re alone on FAMILY holidays. Stop throwing stones then expecting pity when they are thrown back. Love jesus, and keep his family off your tongue.”

Meanwhile, Karlissa penned a message of advice to Rock before that exchange, and it came on Christmas Day. “Merry Christmas @Chrisean,” she started. “I been there and its a tuff spot. But if you love God you can’t take someone away from their family or you will lose. No matter how hard it gets, just know as women I tried this and it didn’t work. Love you even tho you think I don’t. I believe in you baby girl. Stay focused.” Regardless of their beef, come back to HNHH for the latest updates on Blueface, his mother Karlissa, and Chrisean Rock.

LisaRaye McCoy Found Out About Sister Da Brat’s Pregnancy Online

by

It came as a surprise when Da Brat and her wife Jesseca Dupart announced they were expecting. What was even more of a shock to fans is that Brat is carrying their child, a feat that she once said would never happen. “I was like, nothing’s gonna come out of me!” the Rap icon told PEOPLE. However, with a little coaxing from Dupart, the couple will soon welcome their bundle of joy. It’s a time for family and well wishes, but according to Brat’s sister LisaRaye McCoy, she didn’t find out about the good news until she saw it on social media.

McCoy visited It’s Tricky with Raquel Harper, where she was asked about her feelings regarding becoming an auntie. “Wonderful,” the actress replied. Harper tried to pull more out of McCoy and questioned if she knew the gender. “No,” she answered. “Um, I found out [about the pregnancy] through social media.”

LisaRaye & Da Brat’s Previous Tense Moment

After an uncomfortable moment, McCoy said, “This takes me back.” She added, “Because I’m sure that you have heard of the last kind of encounter that we had that went viral.” McCoy refers to the tense moment on her show, Cocktails with Queens, when Da Brat appeared to surprise her for her birthday. McCoy wasn’t happy because the sisters hadn’t spoken in so long. “I ended up having to, I guess what they said, cussed everybody out on the show.”

McCoy explained that time was awkward because she was being pelted with questions about Da Brat coming out as gay. “Because she came out, and I’m getting interviewed, and people are all like, ‘Oh, how do you feel about your sister coming out?’ And I’m like, ‘Coming out of what?’ ‘Cause I’m thinking I had to say some politically correct type of answer because I don’t know what they talkin’ about.”

LisaRaye Felt Distance From Her Sister

“There was a whole life going on on social media that I just really didn’t know nothing about,” McCoy further stated. Meanwhile, Brat hasn’t answered her sister’s most recent interview. It’s clear that there are some things the ladies need to hash out, but they’ve always found a meeting ground. And with a little one on the way, Auntie LisaRaye is necessary for the Harris-Dupart family. Check out LisaRaye McCoy’s interview clip above.

Da Brat Pregnant With First Child At 48

by

Congratulatory messages are pouring in for Da Brat and her wife, Jesseca Dupart, who are expecting their first child together. The couple has embarked on a fertility journey met with highs and lows, and today (February 21), they shared their big news. The announcement arrived via PEOPLE, and in the feature, Brat showed off her growing baby bump. “It’s been quite a journey,” the 48-year-old said. “There’s a lot of stuff we learned about women over the age of 40.”

Brat said she and Dupart began discussing having children because of a business move. Dupart owns and operates the mega-successful Kaleidoscope hair care brand, and she partnered with Brat for a new line. They joked about expanding their family, and soon, the conversation about having children became more serious. “Then we got a huge response. It was like, ‘Oh my God do we want to actually have kids, and if we do, girl, we better hurry up!’”

Da Brat Never Believed She Would Be A Mother

Brat admitted that when it came to motherhood, she counted herself out. In fact, it wasn’t something she considered until marrying Dupart. “I never thought I was going to have kids,” she said. “I just thought it wasn’t in the cards for me. I’ve had a great career, a full life. I felt like, because I didn’t get pregnant earlier on, then it just wasn’t going to happen for me.”

However, as love often does, it shifted Brat’s dreams for the future. Soon, she claimed, she began “looking at life so differently.” Being in love caused her to see that she wanted “a little me with you,” she said of her wife. “Something special from the both of us that we can share and raise and love unconditionally.” Yet, the idea of carrying a child was almost out of the question. “I was like, nothing’s gonna come out of me!”

Jesseca Dupart Had To Do A Bit Of Convincing

It took many conversations with Dupart to change Brat’s mind. “We had a little tug-o-war in the beginning,” said Dupart. “But I felt like she should have the experience. She is so nurturing.” Congratulations to Brat and Jesseca! Check out photos from their pregnancy shoot above and below.

Rihanna’s Father Found Out About Second Baby During Halftime Show

by

Rihanna’s father found out about her second baby during her Super Bowl halftime show, just like the rest of us mortals. Moreover, Ronald Fenty told TMZ that he’s incredibly happy that her daughter’s expecting again with her husband A$AP Rocky. However, since he has four grandsons already, Ronald expressed that he’s hoping for a girl this time. Also, he added that he’s very excited at the idea of having a granddaughter, especially considering how RiRi turned out. Though he expressed those hopes for her first pregnancy, too, maybe a second go at it will yield more luck.

Furthermore, Ronald detailed to TMZ how the superstar singer got him tickets to the Super Bowl. Still, she didn’t let him know that she’s going to drop some big news soon. So, he felt very surprised when he looked up at the floating Smash Bros.-esque stage design and saw her girl’s bump from the stands. “Oh, my God!” he exclaimed to his partner in the audience. “My baby girl looks pregnant!” Many might remember how difficult it was to tell as the halftime show aired. While Twitter came to conclusions quickly, surely many Super Bowl parties took a while to debate or notice the bump.

Regardless, Rihanna’s statement shook the world and elevated an already compelling performance for some. With that statement came renewed hopes for a daughter for Ronald, which he likely doesn’t feel too pressed over all things considered. After all, he said back when she announced her first pregnancy that he had a feeling they wouldn’t stop at two. Not only that, but it also represents another chance for him to be more involved. Given he lives in Barbados and the “Diamonds” singer’s incredibly busy schedule, he said he isn’t very involved in his grandson’s life. While the two went through some rough patches, hopefully they reconcile amid celebration of new life in the family again. For what it’s worth, he said he’d love to be more present in his family’s extended life.

Meanwhile, RiRi recently shared that her and Rocky never got a nanny for their son. Also, Nicki Minaj showed her love for her pictures of her baby boy and for “bodying” the Super Bowl. Overall, Rihanna’s Super Bowl halftime show was great, whether for the actual show or seeing people celebrate life with her. Regardless, stay up-to-date on HNHH for the lates updates and news on Rihanna and her family.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Never Hired A Nanny After Son’s Birth

by

Rihanna says that she and A$AP Rocky chose not to hire a nanny after the birth of their son. The iconic singer discussed motherhood during an interview with British Vogue after headlining the Super Bowl Halftime Show, earlier this month. Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child together in May 2022. Rihanna is currently pregnant with their second child.

“We came home, cold turkey, had no one. It was just us as parents and our baby,” Rihanna told the outlet. “I cannot believe it,” she said. “Essentially, from one person I became two. You walk into the hospital as a couple and leave as a family of three. It’s nuts. And oh, my gosh, those first days are insane. You don’t sleep. At all. Not even if you wanted to.”

“Man, you’re a zombie for the most part,” she continued. “You’re just going through the motions and even then you’re so paranoid. Because you’re like: they trusted us to come home with this baby? This new life? With us? No doctors, no nurses, we’re just… going home?”

Rihanna also described the first several months with their child as “legendary.” She explained: “It’s everything. You really don’t remember life before, that’s the craziest thing ever. You literally try to remember it – and there are photos of my life before – but the feeling, the desires, the things that you enjoy, everything, you just don’t identify with it because you don’t even allow yourself mentally to get that far, because…. Because it doesn’t matter.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Rihanna discussed her next album, admitting that she wants to drop it at some point this year. “I want it to be this year,” Rihanna told the outlet. “Like, honestly, it’d be ridiculous if it’s not this year. But I just want to have fun. I just want to make music and make videos.” She added: “I realized that if I keep waiting until this feels right and perfect and better, maybe it’s going to keep taking forever and maybe it’ll never come out and no, I’m not down to that.”

Rihanna’s Back-Up Dancers Didn’t Know She Was Pregnant: Report

by

As fans tuned in to watch the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles face off for the Lombardi Trophy, there was undoubtedly a slew of people who only wanted to catch Rihanna’s performance. She dove into a 13-minute set that managed to condense a 17-year career. Draped in a red jumper, and surrounded by a fleet of backup dancers, Rihanna gave fans a performance to remember. Not only due to her impeccable catalog but also, the fact that she revealed her pregnancy on the biggest stage in America.

Over the years, Rihanna faced several rumors surrounding her pregnancy. Last year, she welcomed her first child and provided an epic reveal alongside A$AP Rocky in a Harlem-themed maternity shoot. However, there were even rumors of her pregnancy prior to that. Somehow, she managed to keep the speculation surrounding baby #2 under wraps, even after numerous public appearances in the past several months. In fact, she did such a good job at keeping it a secret, even those working closely with her for the halftime show had no clue that she was expecting.

Rihanna Hid Her Pregnancy From Back-Up Dancers 

According to TMZ, Rihanna hid her pregnancy from roughly 280 backup dancers during rehearsals. Though the pregnancy reveal played a huge part in the show itself, Rih disguised the baby bump by rocking baggy clothes. Sources close to the publication explained that at Saturday and Sunday’s rehearsals, Rih wore loose clothing to prevent anyone from finding out she was pregnant. That is until she hit the stage for her performance at the halftime show and revealed her belly. 

Those involved with the production reportedly only saw the baby bump when they were about to hit the stage. Rih rocked an outfit that seemingly helped reveal her pregnancy clearly. It’s impressive, especially when she’s made numerous public appearances in recent months. Last week, she appeared at a rare press conference where she discussed the performance at length. Prior to that, she appeared at the Golden Globes with A$AP Rocky. Looking back, both of her fits helped disguise her belly. At the Golden Globes, she donned a loose dress while carrying a purse in front of her belly. Ultimately, Rihanna accomplished revealing her pregnancy without anyone leaking the information to the press.
