If you haven’t heard of RXKNephew yet, we implore you to go put on a song from one of his four (four!) projects he’s dropped in 2023 while you read this article. Of course, he’s an incredibly prolific artist, but the 29-year-old Rochester native boasts much more than a seemingly endless body of work. Neph is a bizarre storyteller, a hilarious presence lyrically and delivery-wise, master of off-beat and ramble flows, and is able to broach harsh topics of paranoia, violence, hardship, and identity through some of the nuttiest, most vivid, and most tough-as-nails verses and beats you’ll hear. All that said, that fact that Rihanna might have introduced you to him is an insane possibility, yet that’s exactly what she did with her latest TikTok.
Moreover, RiRi’s latest contribution on the social media platform is a simple POV clip of her walking. But there’s one big factor that steals the show- well, two, if you count the huge diamond ring on one of her toes. Still, diamond flexes are nothing new for the “Diamonds” singer. The TikTok’s audio is RXKNephew’s track “I Love My Girlfriend.” On that track, he takes joy in the fact that his girlfriend is apparently just as wild as he is. “My girlfriend like robbin’ n***as,” he raps in various voices over a jittery trap beat.

With Rihanna’s new album still nowhere to be seen, a collab with RXKNephew (however unlikely) would be an absolute ankle breaker, and we won’t give up on the possibility until it lands. In addition, this opens up a whole lot of questions on whether they’ve met, how she came across the song, or how she found his work in general. After all, A$AP Rocky is from New York, as well, and he’s surely still in tune with much of the underground scene. In any case, if the work of Neph and similar artists like Zelooperz, frequent collaborator Rx Papi, and other is unknown to you, let this TikTok be a sign that there’s some homework on your desk.
Meanwhile, the Barbadian singer also showed love to the New York hip-hop of the past as of late. Well, the Wu-Tang Clan is so influential and beloved that it’s pretty much always hip-hop of the present. The couple named their son RZA after the legendary producer and continued a tradition in Rocky’s family of honoring rap pioneers. For more news on Rihanna and the latest updates from RXKNephew, log back into HNHH.

ASAP Rocky’s forthcoming album is nearly complete and he decided to preview it for fans. However, some in attendance at his recent private event became too much for the musician and his partner, Rihanna, to handle.
During the event, the crowd grew a little too rowdy for his liking. So, to protect his very pregnant girlfriend’s energy, Rocky shared a few stern words with the audience.
In a video reposted by The Shade Room, the “Same Problems” rapper is heard reprimanding the unruly audience saying, “Y’all n****** act like gentlemen right now, you heard? I got my lady here! Y’all n***** calm that sh*t down man. Don’t be in this section doing all that. Calm that sh*t the f*ck down. Y’all act like gentlemen when y’all are in her presence.”
Rocky has publicly gushed about the Fenty boss, and now with baby number two on the way he’s grown even more protective of her. Just before walking the 2023 Met Gala’s red carpet, in a viral video Rocky can be seen in a brief verbal exchange with a fan as he fought through the crowd to enter the hotel. He later apologized to the person on social media, which they quickly accepted.
Robyn Rihanna Fenty, known globally as Rihanna, has skyrocketed to billionaire status, but what is her full net worth in 2023? From her early beginnings in Barbados to her current position as a global icon, Rihanna has built an empire that extends far beyond her music career. In this article, we’ll delve into how Rihanna achieved her massive net worth, focusing on her successful music, fashion, and beauty ventures.
With an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion as of 2023, according to Celebrity Net Worth, Rihanna has tremendous wealth.
Rihanna’s journey to fame began in 2005 when she was discovered by music producer Evan Rogers, leading to her signing with Def Jam Recordings. Over the years, Rihanna has released eight studio albums, with hits like “Umbrella,” “Diamonds,” and “Work” topping the charts worldwide. Her music career has earned her numerous awards, including nine Grammys and 14 Billboard Music Awards.
Although her music career is the foundation of her wealth, it only makes up a fraction of her overall net worth. Rihanna’s true financial success has come from her various business ventures, which have established her as an influential entrepreneur.
In 2017, Rihanna launched her cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty, in partnership with luxury goods conglomerate LVMH. Fenty Beauty has been a game-changer in the beauty industry, emphasizing inclusivity by offering various shades to cater to diverse skin tones. Further, the brand’s success has been monumental, with its reported revenue exceeding $550 million in its first year.
Rihanna’s net worth has grown exponentially due to Fenty Beauty’s success. The brand has been valued at over $3 billion, with Rihanna owning a 15 percent stake in the company, equating to approximately $450 million of her net worth.
Building on her success in the beauty industry, she also launched Fenty Maison in 2019, a luxury fashion brand under the LVMH umbrella. The brand further cemented Rihanna’s status as a fashion mogul, becoming the first Black woman to lead a luxury fashion house under LVMH. Although Fenty Maison is still relatively new, its impact on Rihanna’s net worth is significant and growing.
Another major contributor to Rihanna’s net worth is her lingerie brand, Savage x Fenty. Launched in 2018, the brand has become a disruptor in the lingerie industry. It promotes body positivity and inclusivity by offering a diverse range of sizes and styles. With multiple funding rounds, including a $115 million investment in 2021, the brand’s valuation has soared, increasing her overall net worth.
Rihanna’s wealth also allows her to be an active philanthropist. She founded the Clara Lionel Foundation in 2012, named after her grandparents. This foundation also supports education and healthcare initiatives worldwide. Additionally, she has donated millions to various charitable causes. This includes COVID-19 relief efforts to help those in need during the pandemic.
With her ever-growing net worth, Rihanna continues to break barriers and redefine what it means to be a global superstar. Rihanna’s financial success is remarkable, from her chart-topping music career to her successful business ventures. As her wealth grows, we can further expect to see more groundbreaking projects. Additionally, we expect her philanthropic efforts to only increase in the coming years.
No matter where they travel together, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna continue to set the standard as couple goals. Earlier this year, the lovers made headlines as the rapper proudly supported his partner during her Super Bowl Halftime performance, and following that, we saw them serve up countless incredible looks during their trip to Paris. More recently, Rocky and Rih caught a flight to Japan, where the New Yorker has been in the news for a variety of reasons, including wearing a meme t-shirt of himself running in Timbs.
Besides that funny fashion moment, A$AP is also receiving immense praise for the way he handled a situation unfolding in front of him and the “Desperado” songstress at a club over the weekend. In a video circulating online, a group of people begin fighting in front of the 34-year-old and Rihanna, prompting him to swiftly speak out. “Y’all n*ggas act like gentlemen right now, you heard?” he demanded. “I got my lady here, y’all n*ggas calm that,” Rocky added, reminding those in the vicinity that they were in the presence of a queen.

“Y’all calm that shit down man, don’t be in this section doing all that shit. Calm that shit down y’all,” the “Houston Old Head” hitmaker continued to call the troublemakers out as fans recorded. “Act like gentlemen when y’all in our presence,” Rocky added once more before the clip cuts out. In the comments, many are commending the fashion lover for protecting Rihanna from any energy that might stress her out, even if it wasn’t directly aimed toward her.
Elsewhere in the news, the Fenty Beauty founder broke the internet last week with a nearly-nude maternity shoot from her first pregnancy with RZA. As the arrival of her second baby nears closer, we’ve continued to see her dish out more bold style inspiration for expecting mothers, though it remains unclear if she’s having another boy, or a girl this time. Would you defend your partner the same way A$AP Rocky looks out for Rihanna? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Rihanna is taking a stroll down memory lane, dropping a collection of images from her first pregnancy, which she calls “Rub on ya titties.”
in honor of my first pregnancy, embracing motherhood like a g, and the magic that this body made! Baby RZA… he in there not having a clue how nuts his mama is, or how obsessed he was bout to make me #maternityshoot2022 #tobecontinued
This post is the first time Rihanna has publicly acknowledged her son’s name. A previous report from The Daily Mail, revealed the name RZA, adopted from one of the members of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan.
The publication references the baby’s birth certificate, noting he was born at 10:58 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and named RZA Athelston Mayers.
Rihanna may have been dropping a hint to us all along. Previously, she was seen carrying her son while wearing a Wu-Tang hockey jersey.
Last month, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s baby boy won the Easter Internet. While celebrities roll out their celebration photos, Rihanna’s son quite literally cleaned up Instagram.
The images show the baby boy frolicking with real-life bunnies with jewels on his neck and holding a “How to Catch the Easter Bunny” book.
For her family, Rihanna just copped a new crib. The head of the Fenty empire reportedly just dropped $21 million on a penthouse in Century City, CA.
According to Dirt.com, Rih’s new digs is four bedrooms and six and a half baths across 9,290 square feet. The penthouse crib takes up the entire 40th floor of its building.
The home was originally placed on the market by Nick Molnar for $28 million, before closing at $21 million on March 31.
The home’s elevator opens into an entry gallery. The home has floor-to-ceiling windows with skyline views, marble countertops, and premium appliances. Also included are a movie theater, dual bespoke closets, a private lounge, and more.
Rihanna’s neighbors include Denzel Washington and Terry and Heather Dubrow. You can learn more about her new crib here.

Rihanna has had a strong past few months. Just the possibility of her presence stopped Pedro Pascal in his tracks, she’s climbing her way up the RIAA ranks, there’s a great new wax figure of her, she made the Forbes billionaires list, and it was announced she’s starring in a new Smurfs movie. Yes, times are good, and now they’ve gotten even better: Rihanna’s currently getting a lot of attention for her revealing new maternity shoot, much of which is topless.
In an Instagram gallery shared yesterday (May 18), Rihanna wrote, “here’s a little series I call ‘Rub on ya titties.’ in honor of my first pregnancy, embracing motherhood like a g, and the magic that this body made! Baby RZA… he in there not having a clue how nuts his mama is, or how obsessed he was bout to make me #maternityshoot2022 #tobecontinued.”
The photos were taken in a tropical-looking environment and feature Rihanna in a barely-there bikini, topless in some shots but covering her breasts with her hands in all of them. As Rihanna noted, the pics are also from 2022, when she was pregnant with her and ASAP Rocky’s first child, RZA.
As of this post, in the approximately 13 hours since the gallery was shared on Instagram, it has racked up about 9.9 million likes.
Check out the photos above.
Given that A$AP Rocky and Rihanna named their firstborn RZA, you might guess that they’re big Wu-Tang Clan fans- and you’d be right. However, that’s not the only way in which the couple, specifically RiRi, can now show their love to the New York legends. Recently, the Barbadian singer got a very special gift from illustrious grillmakers and jewelers Gabby Elan. It’s an 18 carat diamond grill emblazoned with “DIRT,” a tribute to the late Wu-Tang pioneer Ol’ Dirty Bastard. In fact, it’s a specific homage to the grill that Gabby Elan designed for ODB back in the 1990s.
Everyone from Pusha T, J Balvin, Tyler, The Creator to even Rocky himself have rocked Gabby Elan grills in the past. Regardless, Rihanna didn’t have to rock grills to rep the Wu with pride, as she’s often been spotted in the group’s merch. Still, a lot of fans went crazy when they realized that the couple named their child after the New York rapper and producer. Recently, they threw little RZA a lavish first birthday party, and will surely continue to spoil him.

However, something that unfamiliar spectators might not have realized is that the decision to name their son RZA isn’t just a sign of fandom. Furthermore, it actually continues a family tradition very close to A$AP Rocky’s heart. For one, the father and son share the same middle name, Athelston, which is already a touching continuation. Not only that, but Rocky’s real name is Rakim, which is an homage to arguably the most important New York hip-hop icon of all time. But that’s a debate for another day. Maybe one-year-old RZA will one day inherit Rihanna’s grill and carve his own path while repping the Staten Island crew.
Meanwhile, the “Born Again” singer recently reached a huge milestone in her career that etches her name even more deeply into the history books of music. She recently passed Eminem as the second artist with the most certified singles. Considering the length and consistent success of her career, such a feat is unsurprising but nonetheless impressive. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news on Rihanna and her family.
