Rapper Asap Rocky met Rihanna when he was still unknown. Now he talks about his first encounter with her – and how the mother of his two sons helped him back then.
Rapper Asap Rocky talks about his first encounter with his current partner, pop superstar Rihanna, in a rather unpleasant situation. “I got kicked out of that nightclub,” the 36-year-old musician (“Fashion Killa”) told fashion magazine “W Magazine.” The bouncers denied him and two friends access, he explained. “I was just starting out at the time, so no one knew me.”
According to his own words, the rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, clashed with the bouncers when Rihanna came out. “We just looked each other in the eyes,” Asap Rocky said. “She didn’t even know us, but she said, ‘Yo! Why don’t you let him in? What’s wrong with you?! Let the man in!””
Later, in September 2012, the rapper and Rihanna appeared together at the MTV Video Music Awards, and in 2013 he accompanied her on her world tour. However, the two only became a couple a few years ago. Their first son RZA was born in 2022, followed by his little brother Riot in 2023.
