LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Rihanna silenced a troll who mocked her children's names, while sharing rare delivery room photos and celebrating the power of motherhood.

The 37-year-old singer, who shares two sons, two-year-old RZA and 19-month-old Riot Rose, with rapper ASAP Rocky, 36, took to social media on Saturday, March 8, to post unseen pictures of her children right after their birth.

Rihanna's tribute to motherhood

The images were shared as part of Rihanna's tribute to motherhood on International Women’s Day, a moment she described as "by far the most powerful thing I've ever done as a woman".

While her heartwarming post was met with admiration from fans and fellow celebrities, one social media user decided to take aim at the unique names she and Rocky chose for their children.

The critic commented, “I hate their names so bad,” in an attempt to mock the unconventional monikers.

However, Rihanna swiftly clapped back with a simple but effective response, “Ok, Tatiana.”

Aside from her fiery response, Rihanna’s post captivated fans with a glimpse of her effortlessly chic maternity style.

The singer shared two hospital-bed selfies and in the first image, she cradled her newborn while wearing layers of gold necklaces and pearl jewelry.

The second selfie showed her wearing stylish pink-tinted sunglasses and a camouflage jacket, along with a diamond-studded tennis choker.

Rihanna on ASAP Rocky's fatherhood journey

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna shared that the “greatest thing” about her husband Rocky “is seeing him be a dad".

"His pureness. His charm. I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” the singer said.

“And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best,” she added.

Rihanna's long-awaited return to music

In the interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Rihanna hinted that new music is finally on the horizon.

“This time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears,” she stated.
