Rihanna is facing a social media backlash after sharing photos of herself breastfeeding her son.
The ‘Umbrella’ singer, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is widely regarded as one of the leading singers of the 21st century, having sold over 250 million records worldwide.
Rihanna – who is expecting her second child with rapper A$AP Rocky – is also a businesswoman and billionaire thanks to her cosmetics company Fenty Beauty.
The pop star is also the founder of the underwear company Savage X Fenty, which she recently promoted on Instagram.

The brand’s latest post has caused a stir on social media as it shows Rihanna breastfeeding her adorable one-year-old son RZA.
In the images, the 35-year-old lovingly looks down at the infant as he lays down.
“Not ur mama’s maternity bras… designed by @badgalriri, approved by baby RZA,” the images are captioned.

Many people have taken to the comments and cruelly shamed the ‘Diamonds’ singer for sharing the photos.
One social media user writes: “Don’t need to see it, thank you very much. Keep it private, lady.”
Another person remarks: “Millennial exhibitionism.”
While somebody else says: “Keep that private.”
Fortunately, many of Rihanna’s fans have taken to the comments and defended the star for normalising breastfeeding in public.
“She looks like a great mommy and she looks so happy,” comments one person.
In agreement, a second says: “I love how she’s normalising breastfeeding.”
Someone else pens: “And this is why I always buy everything from Rih! She understands EVERY assignment.”

Rihanna welcomed her first child in May 2002 and earlier this year, she revealed that she was expecting again at the Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show.
Baby number two is expected to arrive over the summer – but it sounds as though Rihanna doesn’t plan to stop there.
The ‘Rude Boy’ artist previously told British Vogue that she would love to have three or four children.
It sounds like it is going to be a busy year for the Bajan singer, as it’s also been reported that she plans to release music soon.
According to MailOnline, Rihanna has confirmed that her long-awaited ninth studio album will drop before the end of 2023.
The ‘We Found Love’ singer hasn’t released an album since January 2016 when she dropped ‘Anti’, which included hit tracks such as ‘Work’ featuring Drake, ‘Kiss It Better’ and ‘Love on the Brain’.
