With a bestselling music career, booming beauty business and a billion-dollar net worth, Rihanna undoubtedly has plenty of fans who would trade places with her in a heartbeat. But if she got the chance, she’d switch lives to become the next best thing — her sons, RZA and Riot Rose, whom she shares with partner A$AP Rocky.
While speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet at her Fenty x Puma event in London Wednesday (April 17), the superstar needed only a second to think when she was asked who she’d like to swap places with for a day. “You know what? My kids,” she replied. “They have it the best.”
“They’re living the greatest life,” added Ri. “The love that they have from everyone, they know they’re loved. I beam to see it in their eyes, knowing that everybody in this house is at your beck and call.”

The “Umbrella” singer and Rocky first became parents in May 2022 when little RZA came along. The following February, Ri effectively announced her second pregnancy by showing off her baby bump during her 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance, welcoming Riot Rose six months later in August.
The mogul recently revealed in a chat with Interview that she’s open to having more kids and is keeping her fingers crossed for a baby girl, but ultimately, she’s fine with having “as many as God wants me to have.” In the meantime, she’s making sure her sons carry out their parents’ legacy of being bona fide fashion icons.
“I always try to dress them like Rocky,” she told ET. “I always envisioned dressing a girl. We all do as women, like, ‘Ooh, I’m gonna dress her in these cute little things.’ But then you get sons, and you’re like, ‘What do I do?’ But I have the biggest hack: their dad.”
Watch Ri talk about her boys on the Fenty x Puma red carpet below.

Cookies, the cannabis and lifestyle brand founded by multifaceted entrepreneur Berner, and The Freak Brothers, a comic book and animated series, are joining forces in a new partnership. Via the new collaboration, Cookies and The Freak Brothers are releasing a limited-edition CookiesSF clothing capsule, along with a hefty infused preroll and more.
As Berner continues to expand his empire, the launch of the new LSD Joint coincides with the rapper joining the voice cast of The Freak Brothers series, which also stars Tiffany Haddish, Woody Harrelson, John Goodman, Pete Davidson, and others.
The LSD Joint, which drops on 420 Eve (April 19), is a 2.5g infused preroll point that speaks to fans who grew up with the comics and those indoctrinated to the brand via the animated series. The LSD Joint comes in a glow-in-the-dark tube and is adorned with a scannable QR code that unlocks related artwork.
“We felt like ‘LSD Joint’ was an appropriate name for our collab given the Freak Brothers are from the ’70s, from San Francisco, and this joint is EXTREMELY strong. We will be dropping our collab with the Freaks on 4/19, available at all of our California stores,” said Berner, co-founder and CEO of Cookies. “I love that the animated show is so weed-friendly and done with class. I’m incredibly excited to announce that I am joining the Freak Brothers show alongside an epic cast.”
Courtney Solomon, Freak Brothers’ CEO and show Executive Producer, added, “We’re excited to welcome Berner to the show. His proven track record of innovation and his authentic love of cannabis culture is a perfect marriage with the Freak Brothers. We look forward to a long collaboration together.”
It may come as a surprise to some but considering that the animated series spawned from The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers in the late 1960s, they have never collaborated in the wider cannabis space despite the deep connections to that world.
This is the first-ever official cannabis product for The Freak Brothers, so we wanted to lean into the cool trippy Bay Area heritage shared by both brands while producing a product the Freaks themselves would have loved to spark up,” said Greg Goldner, Head of Brand & Strategy for Freak Brothers.
Seasons 1 and 2 of The Freak Brothers are available on Tubi now. Learn more about the show here.

Coachella Camping Rules: What You Need to Know
Coachella offers tent camping, car camping and preferred car camping. Car camping appears to be the most popular among the three, and one of the most affordable options, since you’re basically paying for the parking space.
For car camping, Coachella allows trucks and passenger vans, but no RVs, trailers, buses, or motorcycles. There’s no restriction on the number of people and tents allowed, however, only one vehicle is allowed in each camping site.
Basic car camping is first-come-first-serve, but preferred car camping is located at Lot 8 and you can arrive “at your leisure,” per Coachella.
Coachella’s car camping sites measure 30 x 10 feet, tent camping sites are 15 x 10 feet.
For preferred camping, you can choose between a two-person lodge, or four-person tent. The 8 x 12 x 8-foot lodge includes two GA or VIP passes to the music festival. The four-person tent measures 12 x 14, and it’s fully pitched, so need to worry about putting it together. It also comes with four sleeping cots, sleeping bags, pillows, chairs and a cooler.
Coachella covers camping essentials like sleeping bags and pillows for VIP campers. There’s also a 24-hour concierge, overnight parking, exclusive bathrooms and showers, cell phone charging stations and Wifi in select areas.
Camping passes start at $149 at Coachella.com, but you can also find them at Vivid Seats, and you might be able to score last-minute tickets at StubHub, although they were sold out at press time.
