Rihanna played the role of photographer in A$AP ROCKY’s shoot for W Magazine’s Originals issue
According to W Magazine’s October 8, 2024 publication, the Fenty Beauty mogul was the designated photographer for A$AP ROCKY’s magazine shoot. The magazine reported that the 36-year-old superstar was in her element as she adjusted her positions to take different shots of her partner.
It was also the first time that Riri photographed anyone for a magazine. As the duo worked to produce visuals for the magazine’s issue, A$AP ROCKY revealed that the studio was very special to him because Rihanna fell in love with him there. He described how Virgil Abloh shot the music video for Fashion Killa in the studio, and Rihanna sat on the same couch.
The American-Barbadian rapper, who shares two children, RZA and Riot, with the singer, also revealed when his interest in the latter began:
"It’s a lot of history between us. I was kicked out of this nightclub. They wasn’t giving me no access to it. This is when I’m just starting out, so nobody knows me. I was with Matthew Williams and Virgil.
"I was getting into it with the bouncers, and she came out. We just locked eyes. She didn’t even know us, but she was like, ‘Yo! Why y’all not letting him in? What’s wrong with you?! Let that man in!’ ”
Rocky also talked about how his kids had begun to develop their personalities. According to him, RZA is keeping to himself and becoming an introvert—a stark contrast against his younger brother, Riot, who is an extrovert like his mother. The rapper said that the support he got from Rihanna was the most important in his life.
"She knows when to hold it down. I think we both have our niches, our things that we do that we’re good at. She could never be a great dad, because she’s a great mom.”
He added that he could never fill her shoes because he played the role of a great dad well.
Rocky, Riri, and their kids were spotted in Los Angeles on October 31, 2024, dressed in Halloween costumes for a family outing.
