"My body is doing incredible things right now and I'm not going to be ashamed of it," Rihanna said of her pregnancy.
Rihanna is featured on the cover of the new issue of the American edition of "Vogue" and gives the magazine an in-depth interview with interesting answers.
Of course, the issue of pregnancy was raised, with Rihanna revealing that she says "yes" to more invitations lately. "I think I even say 'yes' to more now because I know it will be different on the other side of this situation. "At first I expected some magical change, but in reality I remain who I am," he said.
Looking back on the first time she found out she was pregnant with her first child with A $ AP Rocky, Rihanna recalled thinking she was "excluded" from buying maternity clothes. "I'm sorry, it's a lot of fun to get dressed. "I am not going to let this part disappear because my body is changing."
On a larger scale, Rihanna stated that she aims to inspire other women to take a similar approach.
"I hope we will be able to redefine what is considered 'decent' for pregnant women. My body is doing incredible things right now and I'm not going to be ashamed of it. This period should be festive. "Why do you have to hide your pregnancy?" He wondered.
Rihanna also talked about her relationship with A $ AP Rocky, with whom she had been friends for a number of years: "People do not get out of the friendzone with me very easily and it definitely took me a while to get over how much I know him and how much he knows me, because we also know what troubles they can put each other in. "
The 34-year-old singer and businesswoman later revealed that she and A $ AP Rocky were not trying to have a child, but gladly accepted the news of the pregnancy.
I would not say that we "planned" it. But we certainly did not plan to avoid it. I do not know when I ovulate or something. We were just having fun. And then it was just there in the test. I did not waste any time. I shouted at him and showed it to him. "The next morning I was at the doctor's office and our journey began," he described.
"I always thought that I would get married first and then have a child, but who the hell says that this is how things should be done. "I will definitely not let it get in the way of becoming a mother," she added.
One of the many things Rihanna is focusing on right now is the way she will manage her busy life while having a child.
"Balance is one of my biggest challenges and it always has been. "And now that another person is in the game, he is changing what that means again."
"Nevertheless, I have companies that are not going to operate on their own. My mother managed with all three of us without even having in mind the resources I have, so I can definitely do it. How is this going to be done; "I'm not sure," he continued.
Asked what she expects most from her child, Rihanna replied: "He will teach me more than I could ever teach him. And I want him to chase it. I want to see what is in the world, what will happen. "Because I're only here to keep it on the rails, both as a passenger and as a driver."
As for the fans who are waiting for the next album after "Anti" of 2016, Rihanna commented: "I treat my next project completely differently from the way I wanted to release it before. I think this way suits me better, much better. It's authentic, it's going to be fun for me and it takes a lot of the stress out of me. "
