Fans of Nicki Minaj and Rihanna were in for a treat as the two music powerhouses interacted on X on September 28, 2024, to playfully joke about the perils of being a "boy mom." Rihanna first took to X to share a video of her elder son, RZA, working his escape out of his playpen, and Minaj reacted not long after with her anecdotes in the same vein.
Rihanna captioned the video,
"being a boy mom is an Olympic sport."
Nicki Minaj retweeted the post just three hours later with the caption,
"Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiii who are you TELLING???!!!!!! I’ve literally had to learn 3 new sports!!! Help! handsome self. Papa Bear flattened 3 playpens before we gave up on it. They have super human strength & brains and will find away around any & everything."
