Rihanna doesn’t care what you think.

The Diamonds hitmaker, 37, responded very bluntly to one Instagram user who said they ‘hate’ the names of her and A$AP Rocky’s children, and fans are obsessed.

Taking to the social media platform on International Women’s Day with a cheeky post about her two little ones, RZA, 2 and Riot, nine months, the star bluntly replied: ‘Ok Tatiana’ to one critic.

The clapback took place on the singer-turned-beauty mogul’s post yesterday, in which she shared insight into the births of her two babies.

She wrote: ‘by far the most powerful thing I’ve ever done as a woman…my little miracles! #InternationalWomensDay, 1- RZA, 2- Riot Rose. And yes, I gave birth in pearls and sunglasses…don’t ask, a lot was happening.

Earing thousands of likes and comments from her 149 million followers, most praised the star for making birth look ‘this good’, but one used the comment section to criticise the Grammy winner.

@tatianagalaxxy wrote, ‘I hate their names so bad’, and Rihanna quickly replied, ‘Ok, Tatiana.’

Pop Base soon reshared the exchange on X, and many fans expressed their love for the comment.

@drxggybunny wrote: ‘Imagine coming for Rihanna and thinking you’d win’.

‘Rihanna remains a queen in every situation’, added @Kate_Monroe01.

@buffys commented: ‘She’s so funny’, while @Angelica_Reed1 said: ‘lmao never change queen’.

However, some defended the fan. One X user, @lauracarolinese, wrote: ‘That’s not really a good comeback, and Tatiana is a nice name!!’

@blockxs jumped in and added: ‘Tatiana is actually a fine name’.

Rihanna and A$AP, who welcomed RZA in May 2022 and Riot in August 2023, prefer to keep details about their family life private, rarely sharing information about parenting and their children.

However, the umbrella singer recently shared a snippet of her private life during her chat with Harper’s Bazaar.

Speaking to the magazine for a profile piece, she said her eldest son is ‘just an empath.’

She added: ‘He’s so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything.’

As for her youngest son, she said Riot is ‘hilarious’.

‘When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream,’ she said. ‘Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing. And I’m like, “Okay, here we go!” He’s my alarm in the morning! He’s not taking no for an answer from anyone. I don’t know where he came from, dude.’

The family of four had to put on a united front recently as A$AP, real name Rakim Mayers, stood trial in LA after being charged with two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic weapon.

The 36-year-old was accused of firing a gun at a friend in 2021 – he pleaded not guilty, maintained his innocence and previously rejected a plea deal.

Deliberations ended in LA on February 18, with the jury returning to the courtroom, where the not guilty verdict was read in the courtroom.

After hearing the news, the rapper made a very special promise to his lawyer, Joe Tacopina. The legal expert told Extra: ‘Rihanna and Rocky said to me in the courtroom yesterday, they grabbed me, and they said, “Listen, our next baby is A$AP Joe,” he said.

‘I said, “I’m going to hold you to that.”’
