Rihanna wants to raise her kids in her native country Barbados, if her schedule permits it. The Distubia pop star made the statement in an interview with rapper Kanye West for her GQ cover.

The 22-year-old singer graces the cover of the British GQ for its January 2011 issue, where she was photographed in a sexy black lingerie. In the accompanying interview with West, Rihanna shares her thoughts on starting a family of her own, a development made more likely with Rihanna's pal Katy Perry's marriage to comedian Russell Brand.

Asked about where she wants to raise children , Rihanna shared, "That's difficult to think about. Because where I'd want to live and where it would be possible for me to live are two different places."

"I would love to bring them up in [my native country] Barbados. But with the career that I have, I definitely can't do that," she added. "I can't live that far away from everything now, without kids, so I certainly couldn't raise kids and do that with the demanding schedule that I have."

Rihanna's single Only Girl is currently sixth in the Australian music charts for the second straight week, a remarkable feat considering the single has been released almost three months ago. The song has reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States as well as in many other countries including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
