Rapper A$AP Rocky’s mom encouraged him to date Rihanna

Rihanna and A$AP Rockys relationship may seem effortless, but according to A$AP, it was his mother who first pushed him toward the singer long before they became a couple. Speaking on the NYT Popcast on Thursday, A$AP revealed that his mother repeatedly encouraged him to make a move on Rihanna when the two were still just friends. He admitted that although he was interested, he assumed Rihanna did not view him romantically at the time. Mothers know best, he said, reflecting on his moms persistence. A$AP said he is grateful that their relationship happened when it did, explaining that he believes he would not have been ready for it earlier. He also spoke about how naturally they fit together and how similar their upbringings were, noting, We were on the same page. Born the same year. My dad is from her country. When I go back, I get to see both sides of my family. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky first met in 2012 when they performed together at the MTV Video Music Awards. After years of friendship, the two became a couple in 2020 and have remained together since. They share three children, RZA, Riot, and Rocki, and continue to draw speculation over whether they are officially married. A$AP has fueled rumors at times by referring to Rihanna as his wife, but neither has publicly confirmed. For now, the pair appear focused on their family and careers, with A$AP describing the relationship as one that simply works.The post Rapper A$AP Rocky’s mom encouraged him to date Rihanna appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
