Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s sons have everyone talking about how much they resemble their dad’s face
Rihanna and Her Sons Spark Likeness Debate at Red Carpet Event
Photos of Fenty Beauty CEO Rihanna and her sons at the recent Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles ignited a lively online discussion. Fans quickly noticed how much the boys resemble their famous father, A$AP Rocky.
Stylish Appearance at the Premiere
Rihanna, currently expecting her third child, wore a stunning chocolate gown with a lace bodice, floor-length skirt, oversized leather jacket, and moss-green sash. Her sons, RZA and Riot, matched the occasion in coordinated outfits: Riot sported a green jacket with white pants, while RZA wore cargo trousers paired with a bright pink shirt.
Individual Traits Stand Out
Viewers pointed out specific similarities. Some felt Riot looked just like his father, while others thought RZA was the spitting image of A$AP Rocky. However, a few comments were unique, suggesting the boys looked “adopted” or wishing one inherited Rihanna’s green eyes. One fan even joked the brothers resembled twins more than siblings born years apart.

Personal Moments and Family Reflections
Rihanna’s appearance at the event came shortly after her family returned from Barbados, where they mourned her father’s funeral. In an Entertainment Tonight interview, she expressed her hopes that her late father, Ronald Fenty, would have been a loving grandfather. She said, “I’ve always dreamed of what type of grandfather he would be.”
She described the adventurous traits she wishes to pass on to her children — the carefree, barefoot childhood she cherished. “No tablet babies,” Rihanna emphasized, crediting her father’s influence for her parenting style.
Insights into Her Sons’ Personalities
In a previous interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna shared details about her boys. She described RZA as an empath who loves music, books, and water. Riot, meanwhile, is energetic and loud. “He’s just hilarious,” she said. “He’s not taking no for an answer from anyone.”
Rihanna also noted the usual sibling rivalry. RZA initially struggled with Riot’s arrival but now accepts that Riot “knows he’s in charge.”
The Story Behind Riot’s Name
Rihanna revealed that Pharrell Williams suggested Riot’s name, thinking they would have a girl. “Pharrell is very deep,” she added.
