American rapper A$AP Rocky has shared that his mother always hoped he would end up with global superstar Rihanna, even before they became a couple. He revealed the story during a recent interview, reflecting on love, timing, and the influence of family in his life.
Rocky explained that while he and Rihanna were just friends, his mother often encouraged him to pursue her instead of other women he was dating at the time. He recounted how she would tell him, “I know you like this girl that you’re with right now but I want you with RiRi,” emphasizing her belief that mothers often know best. He said he is grateful their relationship began when it did, as neither of them was ready for a serious commitment earlier.
The couple were close friends for nearly a decade before officially starting their relationship in November 2020. Together, they now share three children: RZA Athelston Mayers, Riot Rose Mayers, and Rocki Irish Mayers. Rocky noted that being with Rihanna has had a profound impact on his life and perspective.
His story adds a personal and heartfelt layer to one of contemporary music’s most-followed relationships, showing how family support and intuition can influence real-life love stories. Rocky’s remarks give fans a glimpse into the human side of his life beyond music and public persona.
