Slick Woods recalls being spanked by Rihanna while she was in labour

Slick Woods recalls being ‘spanked’ by Rihanna when she was in labour at the Savage x Fenty Lingerie Show.

The 22-year-old model famously gave birth to her first son Saphir – who she shares with fellow model Adonis Bosso – just hours after walking the runway at the ‘Work’ hitmaker’s New York Fashion Week Savage x Fenty Lingerie Presentation in Brooklyn last September.

Despite being heavily pregnant, Slick walked the runway wearing nipple pasties, thigh-highs, and stilettos and was already ‘2cm dilated’ when she left for the hospital, and before rushing out of the show Rihanna was ‘spanking’ her with a ‘whip’.

‘My last memory before going into the hospital is of Rihanna spanking me with a whip,’ she recalled.

‘I was already 2cm dilated when I left the show, and I was in labour for another 18 hours. The delivery room was out of control.’

Reflecting on the manic situation, where she was welcoming her first child, she said: ‘There was my agent and my baby’s daddy and Erykah Badu on FaceTime, acting as my doula. Then suddenly there he was: my miracle. I have no words for what it felt like to hold him for the first time.’

Slick also explained that she was always told that she’d ‘never’ be able to have a child ‘naturally’, and so when the model fell pregnant and was attending her first sonogram, she ‘understood the true power’ of her own body.

She told Vogue UK: ‘I was nearly in my last trimester when I found out I was going to have a baby. I’d always been told I would never be able to have a child naturally, and it was only when my agent told me I was looking kind of chubby in my bikini at Coachella that I visited my doctor.

‘A few appointments later, a nurse was doing a sonogram. There he was: my son. I started crying tears of joy. I had life in me, and felt like I understood the true power of my body for the first time. If I could bring another human being into this world, nothing was out of reach.’
