Rihanna brings her three children back to Rihanna Drive in Barbados

Rihanna visited the Barbados neighbourhood where she grew up with her three children, sharing photos and a video of the family stop at the street now known as Rihanna Drive.

A quiet family visit to her childhood street

The 38-year-old singer and business founder took sons RZA, four, and Riot, three, and daughter Rocki Irish to the street formerly called Westbury New Road. The street was renamed Rihanna Drive in 2017.

Photos and family moments

In the images Rihanna shared, she poses with her children beside a sign bearing her name. One photo shows her holding Rocki on her knee, reaching for Riot’s hand and keeping an arm around RZA. Riot wore a Spider-Man T-shirt and Spider-Man shoes during the visit.

Rihanna’s caption and the visit’s significance

Rihanna reflected on the moment in her Instagram caption, writing:

“One minute I feel like that kid from Westbury…the next minute I’m bringing my own kids back to ‘Rihanna Drive.’”

“Trippy how life works!”

Recent family highlights and public life

The post followed a busy August in Barbados for Rihanna. She attended Barbados’ Grand Kadooment Day parade on August 4, and the family celebrated Riot’s third birthday earlier in the month with a Spider-Man–themed party.

The photographs offered a rare glimpse of Rihanna with her young family; she and A$AP Rocky generally keep their children out of the spotlight.

Comments from A$AP Rocky and Rihanna’s ties to Barbados

Days before the photos, A$AP Rocky spoke on “The Jason Lee Show” about raising their children, saying he and Rihanna have considerable support from their mothers and nannies and that he wants to remain a present father.

Rihanna’s connection to Barbados remains central to her story: the street where she grew up was renamed Rihanna Drive in 2017, and she was named a National Hero by Barbados in 2021.
