Rihanna Took Her Three Kids to the Same Barbados Playground She Played on as a Child and Went Down the Slides Holding Hands with Her Boys

The same girl who grew up on Westbury New Road just watched her own kids climb the playground she used to. The street she was raised on now carries her name.

Rihanna’s three children, sons RZA and Riot and baby daughter Rocki, spent the afternoon on the swings and slides at a playground she visited as a kid in Barbados. The August 14 outing was part of a wider homecoming with A$AP Rocky during the island’s Crop Over season.

She also brought the kids to Rihanna Drive, the Bridgetown street where she grew up in a modest three-bedroom bungalow. It was renamed in her honor in 2017, four years before Barbados named her a National Hero.

Near the plaque outside her childhood home, she posted a rare shot of all three children and wrote: “One minute I feel like that kid from Westbury…the next minute I’m bringing my own kids back to ‘Rihanna Drive.’ Trippy how life works!”

RZA is 4, Riot turned 3 during the trip with a Spider-Man party, and Rocki is not yet a year old. Between playground stops, the family ordered fresh coconuts from a roadside stand and rode a bright yellow public minibus.
