In a rare interview with Vogue, Rihanna disclosed intimate details about her pregnancy and relationship with A$AP Rocky. In January, the couple revealed that they were expecting their first child together. However, the Barbadian musician and A$AP Mob rapper were close friends before they developed their friendship further. As Rihanna explained, Rocky had to overcome a great deal of opposition to become her romantic partner.
“People don’t get out of the friend zone very easily with me,” she said. “And I certainly took a while to get over how much I know him and how much he knows me, because we also know how much trouble we can land each other in.”
How And When Did A$AP Rocky And Rihanna First Meet?
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky met for the first time at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. Rocky joined RiRi for a performance of her song “Cockiness,” a title Rocky took literally.
“He grabbed my a** on stage,” she remembered. “That was not part of the rehearsal! I was like, ‘What are you doing!?’” Instead of getting angry, she let it go. “My manager was like, Oh, God, she must like this guy a little bit. She never lets this sh*t slide.”
In March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic began ravaging the world, their relationship became more serious.
“He became my family in that time,” she said. “I cooked our food on this little janky grill I bought from Walmart. I still have it, too. It works like nobody’s business. I love the simple things but also the grand adventures. I just feel like I can do any part of life by his side.”
Gender Reveal Party?
While A$AP Rocky and Rihanna prepare for the arrival of their child, they have not yet disclosed the gender. Nevertheless, they will not participate in a gender reveal party, nor will they hold any type of baby shower.
After all, fans will have to wait even longer for the highly anticipated sequel to 2017’s ANTI. Presently, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are juggling their careers and preparing for their first child. She realized how lucky she was to have access to resources that were unavailable to her mother growing up.
