Rihanna stumped by pregnancy query
Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour shocked Rihanna with a blunt question on whether the pop diva was planning to “have a baby soon”. However, while many gaped at what they felt was a blatant intrusion on the celebrity’s privacy during an exclusive interview, Rihanna later said she was okay tackling such “personal” queries in public, reports hollywoodlife.com.
“A lot of women get very efensive. It’s personal, it’s ur bodies, and of course, ’s our time, and it’s not ecessarily everyone’s ream to be a mom but it’s mine, so I’m fine. Anna just wants to know what the people want to know,” Rihanna told EXTRA, reasoning Wintour’s aggressive journalistic curiosity.
Wintour’s interview of Rihanna appears in the November edition of Vogue. However, the pregnancy chat came to light in a video that has been released to highlight the interview.
The 69-year-old Wintour is seen asking Rihanna directly about recent pregnancy rumours surrounding her. Rihanna reacted to the question with shock, clearly not prepared for the veteran journalist’s cheeky strike.
“Do you hope to have a baby soon?” Wintour asked. Rihanna, after gathering her wits, replies, “I don’t think about stuff like that but, I don’t know. God’s plan. Though, I do look forward to all of the pregnancy rumours after this interview.”
Pregnancy talk around
IN AN INTERVIEW, ANNA WINTOUR ASKED RIHANNA ABOUT RECENT PREGNANCY RUMOURS, TO WHICH THE SINGER REACTED WITH SHOCK, AS SHE WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THE VETERAN JOURNALIST’S QUESTIONS.
Rihanna first sparked off while she was speaking to Essence at a red carpet event on September 12. The singer commented, “I’m a black woman. I came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, who came from a black woman, and I’m going to give birth to a black woman.”
Soon, Twitterati were having a field day announcing that Rihanna was expecting, not realising her comment was meant to be an assertion of black womanhood and not a pregnancy announcement.
In the Vogue interview, the Under My Umbrella singer has also spoken about her relationship with Saudi businessman Hassan Jameel.
