Rapper A$AP Rocky reveals what he thinks his and Rihanna's children inherited from each other. In an interview with W Magazine, published on Tuesday, October 8, the Praise the Lord (Da Shine) rapper detailed how his eldest son, RZA, took after the Umbrella hitmaker's lengthy facial feature, but everything else he got from the rapper. He explained:

"RZA is more so like his dad, like me. And he's my twin. He got his mom's forehead, but he got everything else from me."

That said, the rapper is not hating on his kid's "big forehead" as he further noted that he loves his "boy's big forehead," and he also loves "it" on his mother. He famously rapped about "nothing better than the pretty, big forehead" in his 2015 Jukebox Joints track, which he also mentioned in the interview.

Personality-wise, like their parents, A$AP Rocky and Rihanna's two kids, RZA and Riot, couldn't be much different. He mentioned:

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

The 36-year-old rapper also dished on how Riot looks up to his big brother, but RZA is only just "warming up" to his younger sibling.


A$AP Rocky "knew from when we were younger" that Rihanna would later be the mother of his kids

Elsewhere in his W Magazine interview, A$AP Rocky revealed that he knew early on that Rihanna would one day be the mother of his children. He explained:

"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."

The rapper noted that he and the Diamonds singer reconnected around 2019 or 2020. That was seven to eight years after they shot the Fashion Killa music video in 2012 and their MTV Video Music Awards performance. However, A$AP Rocky revealed that he had taken an interest in Rihanna long before then.

He recalled their "history," including the time when he was kicked out of a nightclub "when [he was just starting out" and nobody knew him. He said that the pop star helped get him into the nightclub that night despite not having any idea who he was.

Two years after their "reconnected,", they welcomed their first son RZA, then Riot a year later. A$AP Rocky also mentioned to the magazine how becoming a father has changed him, especially in his outlook on the world, his schedule, and the type of music he enjoys. He explained:

"That sh*t[fatherhood] changed my swag. I'm such a dad, it's f*cking hilarious. I haven't been in the gym in weeks. I come home, my kids are already in bed, asleep. I leave, they still sleep. But the sacrifices we make to put out something substantial..."

He also revealed how he and Rihanna conquer their parental duties and admitted that they "both have [their] niches" or things that they do that they are good at. Besides fatherhood, A$AP Rocky is also hard at work with music and his Don't Be Dumb album, his first full-length album after welcoming his kids with the pop star. The album is meant to be out this fall after several delays because of leaks.
