Rihanna and her partner A$AP Rocky opted for a casual stroll after leaving an Aloft Hotel in New York City on Saturday. The 36-year-old Bajan billionaire sported a NY Yankees cap over her blond wig, along with an Outkast jersey, purple denim cargo pants, and pink reptilian heels. Meanwhile, the 35-year-old New York rapper wore a red baseball cap, a dark T-shirt, black denim high waters, and sneakers.
A$AP Rocky, born Rakim Athelaston Mayers, recently teased a new track from his upcoming fourth studio album “Don’t Be Dumb,” set to drop on August 30. This album will feature vocals by their two-year-old son RZA Athelston Mayers. The announcement coincided with Rocky’s promotion of his debut collection ‘American Sabotage’ during the AWGE SS/25 presentation at Paris Fashion Week on June 21.
Rihanna, born Robyn Fenty, and A$AP Rocky have discussed incorporating their children’s voices into their respective music projects. They confirmed their romance in 2020, nine years after Rocky first collaborated with Rihanna on her song “Cockiness (Love It).” The couple recently got matching 1988 tattoos to commemorate their birth year.
Rocky, represented by attorney Joe Tacopina, is currently out on bond pending his criminal assault trial, scheduled to commence on October 21. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm following a 2021 incident involving his friend A$AP Relli (born Terell Ephron). Prosecutors have video evidence showing Rocky allegedly holding a gun, but no footage of Ephron being shot through the hand.
Despite legal challenges, Rihanna remains focused on her music career. The nine-time Grammy winner hinted at upcoming hits, affirming her confidence in her existing material. Her last single, “Lift Me Up,” was released in 2022.
Rocky’s upbringing included challenges, with reports indicating his father’s incarceration when Rocky was just 12 years old. He subsequently spent his teenage years in homeless shelters with his mother and sister.
The couple’s public appearances continue to draw attention, balancing personal and professional pursuits amid ongoing legal proceedings.
