AceShowbiz - Rihanna's plan to give birth to her first child in peace has seemingly been thwarted by the latest scandal involving her partner A$AP Rocky. The pregnant singer is reportedly taken aback by how "things seem out of her control" following the rapper's arrest.
"This arrest was not something they saw coming," a source tells ET Online of the pair, who are currently expecting their first child. Pointing out how the Barbadian beauty has been trying to handle her pregnancy on her own terms, the source adds, "Rihanna made a point to navigate the public side of her pregnancy on her own terms and now suddenly things seem out of her control."
"This drama is the last thing Rihanna needs right now," the source says of the Fenty Beauty founder. As to how she reacts to the news, the source dishes, "She wants to be mellow, relaxed, and focused 100 percent on the arrival of her baby -- not stressing out!"
The source further divulges that Rih plans to give birth in her home state of Barbados. "Despite strong ties to New York, the plan was to make L.A. the home base once the baby came," the source explains. "However, Rihanna wants to give birth in Barbados and spend the first few months with the baby there before coming stateside."
Rocky was arrested at LAX on Wednesday, April 20 by the Los Angeles Police Department upon his arrival from Barbados with Rihanna. The arrest stemmed from an alleged shooting that occurred in November last year. He was released several hours later after posting a $550k bail.
The arrest came after Rocky and Rihanna enjoyed a short break in Barbados following cheating allegations against him. Last week, rumors swirled that the couple broke up due to the "Peso" spitter's infidelity.
Shoe designer Amina Muaddi, with whom Rocky was said to have an affair, blasted the "vile" rumors. "I have to speak up as this is not only directed towards me but it is related to people I have a great amount of respect and affection for. While Rih is continuing to live her serene, best dressed pregnancy life and I go back to my business," read part of a statement she posted on Twitter and Instagram Story.
Later, the man who started the rumors, apologized via Twitter. "Last night I made a dumb decision to tweet some information I had received," @LOUIS_via_ROMA penned. "So I'd like to formally apologize to all parties I involved with my actions and for my reckless tweet."
He continued, "I fully accept the consequences of my actions for my tweets and any harm they caused. I have no excuse for it, I've been way too wrapped up in Twitter drama and unfortunately leaned into being messy as a brand which is something going forward I'm going to move away from." He reiterated his apology as he concluded his statement, "Again I apologize to them for this unnecessary drama."
