The singer celebrated International Women’s Day by posting rare moments from her births and addressing criticism of her children’s names.

Rihanna posted never-before-seen photos from the births of her two sons, RZA and Riot Rose, to mark International Women’s Day.
The singer described giving birth as the most powerful act she’s ever done and humorously noted she gave birth wearing pearls and sunglasses.
A social media user criticized the names of Rihanna’s children, to which she responded with a succinct and lighthearted clapback.
Rihanna revealed that RZA, 2, is empathetic and loves music, while Riot, 19 months, is energetic and enjoys singing.
The children’s names hold personal significance, with RZA inspired by the Wu-Tang Clan leader and Riot suggested by Pharrell Williams.
