A$AP Rocky reveals reason he and Rihanna decided to start a family
A$AP Rocky recently admitted he always knew that he and Rihanna would eventually be a couple.
Of late, the rapper has recently appeared in a number of publications, including Billboard and W magazine. While speaking with Billboard, he discussed the beginnings of their relationship, and while talking with W magazine, he explained why they decided to have children. During his in-depth chat with the former, he explained after years of interactions he knew she was the one.
Speaking about the many exchanges they had in the higher echelons of music, Rocky stated, “I knew from when we were younger. We both did, I think. So it was only right when we got older. We just kind of reconnected.”
The Live.Love.A$AP creator recalled a time he was kicked out of a nightclub, and Rihanna came outside and pleaded with the staff to let him get inside. Rocky recalled, “I was kicked out of this nightclub. They [weren’t] giving me no access to it. This is when I’m just starting out, so nobody knows me.”
He continued, “I was with Matthew Williams and Virgil [Abloh]. I was getting into it with the bouncers, and she came out. We just locked eyes. She didn’t even know us, but she was like, ‘Yo! Why y’all not letting him in? What’s wrong with you?! Let that man in!’” He also clarified that they began dating before the COVID-19 pandemic, around “2019, 2020.”
Now, they are one of the few hip-hop power couples who are still together. Furthermore, unlike Jay-Z and Beyonce, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are regularly seen in public and are happy to be interviewed. Rocky recently appeared on the cover of W magazine, and was photographed by none other than the mother of his two children.
Rocky and Rihanna confirmed they were dating in 2020 after being photographed together several times. They walked hand-in-hand at the British Fashion Awards in 2019 and teamed up for Rihanna’s Fenty Skin campaign.
During his discussion with W magazine, Rocky revealed which one of his children he feels looks like him the most. After thinking deeply, the lyricist responded, “I think RZA is going to keep to himself. He’s an introvert,” he explained. “Riot’s an extrovert — he’s just like his mom. RZA is more so like his dad, like me. And he’s my twin. He got his mom’s forehead, but he got everything else from me.”
Although he didn’t explicitly say it in the W piece, he unveiled that “it was only right” for him to start a family with Rihanna because they had an unbreakable connection with had already lasted over ten years.
