Rihanna mobbed by London fans as she's spotted in Crystal Palace barber with A$AP Rocky

Residents of Crystal Palace in South London where left in disbelief on Saturday when superstar Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky appeared at a local barbershop.

The power couple were mobbed by fans during their first public appearance together since the birth of their baby son in May.

Following their surprise appearance Star Fade Barber's shop in Anerley Hill, videos have circulated on Twitter and Instagram which see Rihanna, 34, filming fan reactions from inside, while A$AP got his hair tended to.

Riri is currently visiting London to support her partner after his performance at Wireless Festival on Friday.

After discovering that the power couple were inside the small barber shop, hundreds of amazed fans quickly gathered outside to capture a glimpse of Rihanna who was seen smiling and chatting to several people.

The Disturbia hit-maker was seen recording the fan reaction on her phone as she smiled and giggled inside the barber shop.

One of the fans outside the shop in Crystal Palace said the couple have been driving up Anerley Hill in the area, before stopping the car outside the shop where music was being played.

He told the Press Association: "Everyone saw A$AP come out first and then probably like 30 seconds later he went back to the car to bring out Rihanna.

"Then everyone noticed and it went hectic."

Rhianna and A$AP then left the shop and stepped into a black Mercedes people-carrier, which whisked them away from their screaming fans.

The much-loved singer and her beau A$AP have kept a relatively low profile since the birth of their first child in May - which the couple never formally announced.

Riri has yet to announce her son's name.

A$AP Rocky recently shared insight into his approach to fatherhood and he says he hopes he and girlfriend Rihanna will be ‘cool parents’, and not regular parents.

The 33-year-old musician – whose real name Rakim Mayers – explained why he thinks his son will be able to look up to him and Rihanna in awe.

He told Dazed and Confused magazine: "I will always remind my children to never lose their imagination, even as adults, no matter what.

“I actually love to watch cartoons - I've watched like, Teletubbies, Blue's Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba, Peppa Pig and Baby Shark.

“I hope to raise open-minded children. Not people who discriminate. And I'm not trying to describe a saint, but realistically, I just want a cool child with cool parents."
