Rihanna Broke Down In Tears As She Revealed Her Son RZA Is Critically Sick
Rihanna, the global pop star and fashion icon, has revealed in a heartbreaking interview that her son RZA is battling a rare and life-threatening disease.
RZA, who is only four years old, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) last month, after Rihanna noticed he was bruising easily and feeling tired all the time.
ALL is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, and requires intensive chemotherapy and sometimes bone marrow transplant to treat.
Rihanna, who shares RZA with her husband and rapper Jay-Z, said she was devastated by the news and felt helpless as a mother. “It’s the worst thing that can happen to any parent, to see your child suffer and not be able to do anything about it,”
she said, wiping away tears. “He’s such a sweet and smart boy, he loves music and art and animals. He doesn’t deserve this. No child does.”
Rihanna said she and Jay-Z are doing everything they can to support RZA and find the best treatment for him.
They have also set up a foundation to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research, and to help other families who are going through the same ordeal. “We’re not giving up hope, we’re fighting for him every day,” she said. “He’s our miracle, our angel, our everything. We love him so much.”
