Origin:

Amidst the reports that singer Rihanna and ASAP Rocky had welcomed their first child into the world in May 2022, a photograph purportedly showing the Fenti founder holding their newborn baby was circulated on social media:

The image is actually more than five photographs, each showing Rihanna carrying a baby. 

One photo was shot when Rihanna’s sister gave birth, while the other was taken when Rihanna paid a visit to her friend in the hospital.

Here’s a look at the source of the photographs:

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky had a boy in late May 2022, according to sources close to the couple, although the famous couple has yet to acknowledge the news.

There are no publicly available images of the couple’s new born baby as of this writing. Rihanna’s baby is not in any of the photographs you see on the internet.
