A$AP Rocky enjoyed his time chasing women around the globe, but these days, he’s 100 percent locked in with Rihanna, with whom he shares three children.
Rocky sat down with Jason Lee, who’s a close friend to the rapper and RiRi, for an interview, which Lee teased with a clip from their chat on Monday (Aug. 3). In the teaser, he asks the Harlem native how Rihanna turned him from a “nympho” into a committed man.
“One thing I could say about my woman that people don’t know, she a real a– b—h, bro. She’s not one of these Hollywood motherf–kin’ newbies,” the rapper-actor began. “She really is a strong Black woman, and she held me down even when I was at my lowest.”
Rocky explained there “wasn’t no other broad other that could match” him in terms of making him want to settle down, until Rihanna showed up. “This don’t got nothing to do with her accolades or her money. The truth of the matter is, when my dad died she was there for me,” he said.
The multi-hyphenate recalled a time around Christmas 2012 when he learned of his father’s death while in Paris that Rihanna was there for him. “Every time I’m at my lowest and darkest place, rather if we just friends platonically or we in a couple relationship, she always f–kin’ there for me,” he added.
“My first album went No. 1, my dad died on Christmas. I was on my bathroom floor in Paris crying. She called me some reason to congratulate me,” Rocky continued. “We both in Paris … Shorty rushed to [my side]. I don’t even know how Rihanna got the key to my room. I stopped answering my phone … and she walked right in, ‘Yo, you good?’ … That really was my friend.”
Rocky and Rihanna confirmed their relationship in October 2020, although there was fan speculation they were dating in late 2019. The couple has three children together: 4-year-old son RZA, 3-year-old son Riot and 10-month-old daughter Rocki.
