ASAP Rocky and Rihanna jetted off to Barbados this week to celebrate a major milestone—their son Riot Rose Mayers’ first birthday.
The famous couple shared a sweet moment with Riot Rose as they helped him blow out the candles on his birthday cake. A video of the event quickly went viral, showing the family surrounded by joy and love.
Fans had plenty to say about the festivities, particularly the choice of a pink cake. One user remarked, “She wanted this baby to be a girl so bad…” However, many came to the couple’s defense. “Who gives a sh*t what color the cake is!!! Two black people in love and celebrating a healthy one-year-old is a better topic of conversation versus the cake being pink,” one fan responded.
Another chimed in: “Don’t worry about why his cake is pink; worry about what’s in your bank account now. Bye.” Clearly, the color of the cake sparked a lively debate among social media users.
In a previous interview, Rihanna opened up about her feelings on being a boy mom. She told E! News, “It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom. Like I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman, and a female and all my femininity. I embrace it so much more now, like I wear pink. I go between wearing jerseys and like, ‘I’m wearing a dress today! I’m the only one in this house who can do that right now.'”
Moreover, ASAP Rocky shared his joy on Instagram with a heartfelt tribute to his son. “HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO MY 2ND BORN SON RIOT ROSE MAYERS,” he captioned a series of adorable photos.
Therefore, the couple’s trip to Barbados was a family affair filled with love, joy, and the occasional social media debate.
ASAP Rocky and Rihanna’s celebration in Barbados serves as a heartwarming example of family love and unity. The lively social media chatter is just the cherry on top.
