Blue Carpet Royalty! Rihanna Makes Red Carpet Debut With Sons RZA & Riot At ‘Smurfs’ Premiere - Page 2

During an interview with Variety, Rihanna joked that if her boo, A$AP Rocky, joins the next sequel, he would be “Freestyle Smurf” or “Fashion Smurf.” When asked about putting out new music besides her new movie’s soundtrack, the Savage X Fenty founder called herself “Uh-Oh Smurf.” It’s no surprise considering no upcoming release is more exciting or demanding than the bun in her oven.

For now, Rihanna is busy enjoying her growing family with Rocky and being part of one of her favorite franchises. It’s perfect timing for the Bad Gal to put out something for the kids, but the Smurfs lover had her own “selfish” reasons for taking the role.

“This is not just for the kids. I’m going to be a little selfish on this one because I’m a superfan of the Smurfs. I’ve always been a fan. I’m really excited for a new generation of Smurfs fans,” she said.

This fun-loving and iconic moment comes just days after Rihanna attended her father’s funeral back home in Barbados. On May 30, Ronald Fenty passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 70. Paparazzi spotted the “Lift Me Up” star visiting him in his last days at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in L.A.

She opened up to ET about her father’s passing and how she hopes his legacy lives on with RZA and Riot.

“I’ve always dreamed of what type of grandfather he would be to [RZA and Riot] because of the favorite parts of my dad. I think it prepared me for having two boys. The adventurous side of me, the outside side of me, the daredevil. It’s how I want to raise them. I want them to be outside and be in nature. No tablet babies,” she said, recalling her father’s influence on her most fun and free childhood memories.

We love to see Rihanna happy, surrounded by the love of her children, and living her Smurfiest life.

The Smurfs movie will hit theaters July 18.
