“It’s fun. I literally enjoy it so much. I look at them and live through their experiences, amazed by each new discovery they make, even their limits.”

As someone who is also an older sibling, Rihanna described the experience as ‘challenging.’ She revealed that RZA is very protective of his brother Riot and is quick to respond when Riot cries:

“It’s tough, but the moment his baby brother cries, he rushes over. He actually gets emotional; he worries about him.”

With a touch of humor, she added:

“It’s just difficult to share toys and pacifiers!”
