Actress Anita Joseph has waded into a social media storm after Nigerian influencer Saida Boj made remarks about music icon Rihanna’s growing family. The heated exchange kicked off after news broke that Rihanna is expecting her third child with partner ASAP Rocky.
Saida Boj expressed concern over the singer’s life choices, suggesting that Rihanna might be putting her career on hold for love. She shared her fears that the sacrifices being made for motherhood and partnership could eventually cost the global star her musical legacy.
Anita Joseph didn’t take kindly to those comments. She clapped back, strongly defending Rihanna’s decision to focus on her family. In her response, Anita reminded Saida Boj that Rihanna had already built a world-class career long before many critics like her even stepped onto the scene.
According to Anita, Rihanna’s catalog of music continues to earn her massive royalties, and stepping back from the spotlight doesn’t erase her achievements. She also emphasized how demanding motherhood is and urged people to respect women who choose that path.
With both women commanding large followings online, the clash quickly went viral, sparking debates about motherhood, career priorities, and respect for established artists.
As the buzz continues, fans and critics alike are weighing in—some siding with Saida’s cautionary view on love and sacrifice, while others applaud Anita’s stance in celebrating women who make bold life choices on their own terms.
“Is Rihanna your mate? When Rihanna started singing, e be like say you still dey primary school. If she doesn’t want to sing anymore, na oyibo she be, she dey sing, she dey write. So even if she doesn’t sing from now till next 10 years, she’s still going to be collecting royalties. Do you think it is easy to get pregnant, have your babies and train them properly?”
