A$AP Rocky: Rapper Opens Up About His Family And Career In W Magazine

On October 8, A$AP Rocky graced the cover of W Magazine , and the photographer on duty for the cover shots was Rihanna.

During his chat with the publication, A$AP Rocky opened up about his children, the woman in his life, and his career.

About how he knew Rihanna was the one. He stated that: “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.”

Rocky went on to talk about the dynamics of his two sons.

He mentioned their similarities as he said RZA, 2, has taken after him in both looks and personality, whereas their baby boy, Riot Rose, 14 months, is “just like his mom.”

“I think RZA is going to keep to himself. He’s an introvert. Riot’s an extrovert—he’s just like his mom.”

He continued, “RZA is more so like his dad, like me and he’s my twin.”

He happily noted that RZA “got his mom’s forehead,” adding, “I love my boy’s big forehead! I loved his mother but he got everything else from me,” he added.

On the topic of how he and Rihanna first interacted, Rocky stated that: “I was kicked out of this nightclub. They weren’t giving me any access to it. This is when I’m just starting out, so nobody knows me. I was with Matthew Williams and Virgil Abloh of Off White . 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 are y’all not letting him in? What’s wrong with you?! Let that man in!’”

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are one of the few black remaining power couples.

Musically, Rocky and Rihanna first debuted a remix of “ Cockiness (Love It)” in 2012, which was followed by him joining her on the “Diamonds World Tour” as a supporting act.

The two also played love interests in the Harlem native’s “Fashion Killa” visual companion.
