Rihanna and A$AP Rocky have shared the first images of their baby boy! The singer posted an adorable video of her baby, showing her 7-month-old child giggling in his car seat. Fans of Rihanna were thrilled to see the first video of her baby, as she can be heard talking to him while recording.

However, it seems like the singer had an important reason to finally share a glimpse of her baby with the world. According to Jason Lee, Rihanna was forced to show her baby’s face after paparazzi took unauthorized photos of him during a photoshoot in California.

“Since the new photos of ASAP and Rihanna’s baby is out let me tell you how this happened. Yesterday she FaceTimed me to tell me that paparazzi took unauthorized photos of their baby and planned to release them. So she said if anyone was going to put it out she wanted me to,” Lee wrote on Twitter.

“Really sad that Rihanna and A$AP were basically forced to share their baby online because the paparazzi snapped photos of him and they were threatening to release them. That’s their baby, they should be able to debut him to the world on their own terms like everyone else,” one person commented.

“Sometimes paparazzi’s should know when to give people & their family privacy,” another person wrote, adding, “and she was planning to do the big reveal on a magazine cover.”
