Singer Rihanna reveals that she ‘immediately wanted’ to braid sons’ hair because it is a “form of protection” by her “ancestors”.

“This is a form of protection by our ancestors. … (It) makes us realise where we’ve come from,” the Diamonds singer said.

She added, “This is our lost history. I immediately wanted my children to have their hair braided… It’s something in our blood.”

Rihanna shares two sons — 22-month-old RZA and 7-month-old Riot — with her beau rapper A$AP Rocky. The singer credits him for teaching her more about the cultural history behind braiding.

“I really learnt a lot being around him, but even with him, he wore his hair in pigtails. It’s just a thing of the past,” she shared.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
