Rihanna’s rare stage return takes controversial turn as son Riot joins her

Rihanna is under fire as she made a rare return to the stage, bringing her young son Riot along as she joined A$AP Rocky during his concert in Copenhagen.

In fan-recorded footage, the 38-year-old Fenty Beauty founder was seen holding three-year-old Riot Rose while smiling and capturing the moment on her phone.

The Sundress singer closed the show by performing his 2015 track Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2 through a megaphone during the European leg of his Don’t Be Dumb World Tour.

Rocky passed the megaphone to Riot as the song ended, allowing the toddler to thank the audience for coming.

The proud parents beamed before Rocky wrapped up the night by urging fans to get home safely and wishing them goodnight.

Rihanna and Rocky opted for coordinated black ensembles, while their son Riot sported a cosy matching gray lounge set.


Soon after the video went viral, fans flooded the comments with concerns about Riot being exposed to the concert’s high noise levels.

One fan noted,”A billionaire and millionaire couldn’t get soundproof headphones for their kid?!?”

Another commented, “STOP PUTTING YOUR SMALL CHILDREN ON STAGE! THEY ARE NOT PROPS! THEY NEED MORE EAR AND EYE PROTECTION THAN ADULTS!”

The third stated, “Come on man, it's a baby. What part of this seems safe or fun for him? This is loser behavior.”

Riot is already familiar with life on tour.

In June, he attended Rocky’s Kia Forum show in Los Angeles, where the rapper gave his son a sweet shout-out from the stage as Rihanna filmed the moment.

Along with Riot, the couple share son RZA, 4, and daughter Rocki, 1, and often enjoy fun family moments.
