Rihanna Gushes She Is So Proud of “Baby Daddy” ASAP Rocky During Stylish Date Night!
A$AP Rocky’s kids will always have his heart—and they’ll never be worlds apart.
As the “Sundress” singer (real name Rakim Mayers) performed at the Kia Forum June 27 as part of his Don’t Be Dumb tour, he was supported by partner Rihanna and their 2-year-old son Riot, who he gave an adorable shoutout.
“Riot Rose,” A$AP—also dad to RZA, 4, and Rocki, 9 months with Rihanna—said to his son onstage, via videos shared to social media. “Hey, son. Daddy loves you, son.”
While all attention in the arena turned to him, Riot—who donned a denim jacket as well as a set of turquoise noise-canceling headphones and wore his hair in a topknot bun—looked at his dad on stage in awe. Meanwhile, mom Rihanna encouraged him, which prompted the toddler to send his dad a small wave.
In addition to taking in the show itself, Riot joined his dad backstage afterward, where he was seen sitting on his A$AP’s shoulders as he greeted friends and colleagues. In one video shared to social media, Riot gave radio producer Big Boy (real name Kurt Alexander) a fist bump.
Since becoming a dad when he and Rihanna welcomed RZA in 2022, A$AP has emphasized how much he loves parenthood. In fact, the “LSD” rapper previously noted that his eldest son changed his life for the better.
“I could justify doing things, like not going to the club or just leaving after five minutes, and s--t like that,” A$AP explained to Vogue last year. “Doing old people s--t just for the sake of it.”
Indeed, A$AP joked that being a father of three is the ultimate excuse, adding, “I act tired and I don’t even be tired.”

Meanwhile, having kids also encouraged the 37-year-old to step up his style game.
“I think becoming a father helped me just get my dad swag bag,” he continued. “I’m really on that. That’s what I do. I’m on that dad swag. I love it.”
As for what it was like to add daughter Rocki into the mix?
“Being a girl dad at this point kinda makes you more vulnerable,” A$AP told E! News last year. “And I’m ready for that stage in my life. It makes you way more agile and precious with everything.”
