Rihanna has shared a video and photos of her son for the first time, months after giving birth.
The singer, who welcomed her baby with rapper, ASAP Rocky in May, shared the unveiling video via TikTok.
She jokingly captioned the video, which also happens to be her first post ever on the platform, writing, “Hacked.”
In the now viral clip, the baby is seen smiling in his car seat as Rihanna exclaims, “Ooh! You’re trying to get Mommy’s phone.”
Following that TikTok video, there are now exclusive pictures of the baby which was shared by Jason Lee of the ‘Hollywood Unlocked’ blog.
In the new photos, ASAP Rocky was seen holding his baby boy as they both posed for the camera.
Jason Lee has now come out to react to various comments where it was stated that they were expectations that prestigious outlets like Vogue or People would publish the first photos of Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s child.
In a series of tweets, blogger Jason Lee wrote, “Since the new photos of ASAP and Rihanna’s baby is out let me tell you how this happened. Yesterday she FaceTimed me to tell me that paparazzi took unauthorized photos of their baby and planned to release them. So she said if anyone was going to put it out she wanted me to.”
He continued, “She wanted BLACK MEDIA to be the one to do it since she wasn’t going to be given the choice. First, I’m honoured they would trust me and kinda sad it had to be that way. I wish they were given the choice. Kids are off-limits here at HU. I guess some folks don’t care.”
“But what’s the most telling is how in the midst of her baby being revealed without her approval she wanted black media to get it out first. I wish more people thought about black media like this.”
Jason Lee concluded by writing, “The GAG is they tried to take that moment from her and she took it right back.”
