Rihanna and her daughter, Baby Rocki Irish Mayers, share a sweet and unforgettable moment on the latest cover of W Magazine. It’s a full-circle moment for Rihanna, who first stepped onto the music scene over 20 years ago with her hit single “Pon de Replay” at just 17. Since then, she’s grown into one of the biggest stars in the world. Just last week, she made history as the first woman to reach over 200 million RIAA-certified singles, even though her last album, ANTI, came out in 2016.
So what keeps Rihanna on top after all this time? Beyond her music, she’s built a powerful brand and identity that fans love. As the founder of Fenty Beauty, a nine-time Grammy winner, and now a mother of three, she continues to evolve while staying true to herself. In W Magazine’s annual Pop Issue, people close to her including friends, collaborators, and fellow stars share what it’s like to know and work with her, showing why her influence is still as strong as ever.
