Nicki Minaj shared a motherly moment with Rihanna after the singer recorded her son RZA escaping his playpen.

On Friday night, RiRi shared a sweet video of her 2-year-old son working his way out of his playpen with the original Mission: Impossible theme song playing in the background. At the start of the clip, RZA tries to climb out of the playpen but can't quite do it on his first few attempts.

RZA eventually figures out how to scale the enclosure by using a nearby couch to cushion his landing and run off to his sippy cup that was nearby the playpen. In her caption, Rihanna wrote, "Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport," alongside a group of face-palm, blue heart, and shrug emojis.

Nicki saw the clip on X and retweeted the clip with a caption that explained how she went through the same thing with her son Papa Bear, who got out of three different playpens before his parents let him rock out.

"Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiii who are you TELLING???!!!!!! I've literally had to learn 3 new sports!!! Help! handsome self," Nicki caption her retweet of Rihanna's post. "Papa Bear flattened 3 playpens before we gave up on it. They have super human strength & brains and will find away around any & everything."

The oldest son of ASAP Rocky and Rihanna recently starred alongside his father in a campaign for his mother's Savage X Classics launch in July. In the campaign photos, Flacko and RZA are seen wearing matching Black Caviar Savage X Boxer Briefs and the Black Caviar Sleek Sleep Tank, while the rapper also wears a Savage Classix Boxer Brief in Angel White.
