From Rihanna to Ciara and beyond, there are plenty of superstars who have turned motherhood into their ultimate flex. While most celebrate women on Mother’s Day, this list of female entertainers is worthy of receiving their flowers year-round for fueling their passions and collecting checks while juggling their mommy duties flawlessly.

In the words of Beyoncé, “We smart enough to make these millions/ Strong enough to bear the children, then get back to business.” Now, allow us here at REVOLT to brag on these boss babes who make being a mother and businesswoman look like the ultimate power move.

1. Beyoncé

Queen Bey has proved time and time again that nothing can slow down her grind, and from the looks of it, motherhood has made her sharper, bolder, and more ambitious than ever. Four months after birthing daughter Blue Ivy in 2012, she was back on stage for “Revel Presents: Beyoncé Live,” a three-show residency at the Revel casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 2017, she and JAY-Z welcomed twins, Rumi and Sir. In seemingly no time, the diva bounced back and was on the road the following year for “The On the Run II Tour” and her headlining Beychella performances at Coachella. Her talented daughters are already proving that Sasha Fierce energy is in their DNA, too, with cameos in “The RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR” and “Cowboy Carter Tour.”

2. Rihanna

The Bajan beauty confirmed suspicions of a third pregnancy at the 2025 Met Gala when she proudly showed off her growing baby bump! The mogul was already a mom to sons RZA and Riot, and still somehow has managed to juggle the expansion of her Fenty Beauty line, Savage x Fenty lingerie collections, and drop new collaborations with Puma. Mama is getting paid…and, well, you know the rest.

3. Ciara

Uno, dos, tres, quatro, and if Russell Wilson gets his way, she will be announcing baby cinco in no time. The “Ecstasy” singer has stepped up her sexy, artistic independence, and business portfolio with each child—Future Zahir, Sienna Princess, Win Harrison, and Amora Princess— she has brought into the world. And it’s been all gas, no breaks in her career from the launch of Beauty Marks Entertainment, an out-of-this-world tour with Missy Elliott and Busta Rhymes, to the 2025 release of her album CiCi.

4. Nicki Minaj

The Young Money superstar became a first-time mom to son “Papa Bear” in 2020, and though she has kept a relatively low profile, her status in Hip Hop has not changed. She launched an epic rap comeback when she liberated Pink Friday 2 in 2023. Her unmatched lyrical prowess was all the proof a skeptic needed to realize she remains a necessity to the game.

5. Teyana Taylor

Teyana Taylor is the personification of the cool mom. She is an artist, an actress, a creative director, a Jordan Brand design collaborator, and likely holds many other titles. The Harlem native hardly ever hits a red carpet without her daughters, Junie and Rue, in tow. Even getting to the bag has become a family endeavor that gives her girls opportunities to step into their power and shine with JuJu Beez Clothing and serving model looks for Fear of God's ESSENTIALS line. Now that’s how you build generational wealth.

6. Flo Milli

The Fine Ho, Stay lyricist publicly entered her “Flo Mommy” era in November 2024, when her pregnancy was revealed. She shared the first glimpse of her son in April 2025, where she playfully told fans, “And y’all bet not play bout y’all internet nephew.” Even in the haze of that bliss, she did not miss a beat. Her single “Gripper” was released to the approval of supporters who love her reimagining of T-Pain’s “I’m N Luv (With a Stripper).”

7. Ashanti

Ashanti had a “baby, baby, baby” and has been head over heels in love with son Kareem "K.K." Kenkaide Haynes since July 2024. The singer-songwriter has been using that newfound passion on the stage, too. Her grind has not stopped as she trots around the globe to put on shows for fans who have been rocking with her for over two decades.

8. Mariah Carey

The masses appointed her “Queen of Christmas,” but to twins Monroe and Moroccan, she’s mom. The songbird who made the fusion of R&B and Hip Hop her signature in the mid-90's keeps a side hustle going. In 2020, she released the memoir “The Meaning of Mariah Carey” and launched her Mariah’s Cookies brand.

9. Keke Palmer

Miss Keke “Keep A Job” Palmer debuted her baby bump on the stage of “Saturday Night Live” in 2022 and has not sat down since! That same year, this industry boss launched her digital platform KeyTV and the “Baby, This is Keke Palmer” podcast. The mogul-in-the-making even found time to record and release her album Big Boss and its accompanying 40-minute film, star in One of Them Days, and write her first book, “Master of Me: The Secret of Controlling Your Narrative.” Mama is getting to the bag!

10. Victoria Monét

In a very short time frame, Ms. Monét and her mini-me Hazel have become one of the culture’s cutest mommy-daughter duos. The Jaguar was already nice with her pen before 2021, but she really cooked up some heat after birthing a new version of herself—the proof is heard all over the 2024 Grammy’s Record of the Year “On My Mama.” She most definitely looks fly, good, and has an aura that most wish they could match.

11. Cardi B

There is not a look, guest verse, or business venture that the “Bodak Yellow” superstar has not slayed since becoming a mother to daughter Kulture in 2018. Between Grammy and MTV Video Music Awards show performances and the hours spent working on her sophomore album, she has also added son Wave and a another daughter to the Bardi Gang. This mama is unstoppable, okurrr!

12. Halle Bailey

Halle found her “Angel” in her son Halo in December 2023. The little guy seems to be fueling The Little Mermaid star as she secured movie deals like Universal’s Italianna co-starring Regé-Jean Page, and a brand deal with Pandora.

Salute to these ladies!
