Back in December, Rihanna jokingly revealed that her and A$AP Rocky’s oldest son, now-2-year-old RZA, has inherited one of her most famous characteristics.

Discussing parenthood with Access Hollywood, the star said at the time: “I can’t believe it. The only thing I imagine was probably the forehead on RZA.”


Rihanna then said that the same couldn’t be said for her youngest, Riot, who was born in August 2023. 


“I mean, Riot doesn’t have it. I’m like: ‘Wait, are you sure?’” she quipped after pointing at her own forehead. “You can’t lose this thing!”

And in a new interview with W magazine, Rocky made similar comments as he proudly declared that he loves both RZA and Rihanna’s foreheads.

“Riot’s an extrovert — he’s just like his mom,” the rapper began. “RZA is more so like his dad, like me. And he’s my twin.”

“He got his mom’s forehead, but he got everything else from me,” Rocky then clarified, before adding: “I love my boy’s big forehead! I loved it on his mother. Listen to ‘Jukebox Joints.’”

If you’re wondering, “Jukebox Joints” is Rocky’s 2015 song that includes the lyric: “Ain’t nothing better than the pretty, big forehead bitch.”

And while the star’s heart was undeniably in the right place when he made the comments, many were caught off guard by Rocky's quotes as they started circulating on social media.

Tweets showcasing the forehead comments quickly racked up thousands of likes and retweets, with many admitting to finding what he said low-key hilarious. 


“‘I loved it on his mother’ is so cute but so funny 😭😭😭” one person tweeted, with another echoing: “This is unintentionally hilarious and sweet.”


“He didn’t even need to mention the forehead 😭” one more pointed out.


Somebody else wrote: “Not ‘he got his mom’s forehead’ I’m deceased 😂😂😂”

But others admitted to finding the whole thing pretty aspirational, with one tweeting: “need somebody who will love my big forehead fr.”
