A$AP Rocky Jokes Son Riot, 2, Once Got Him in Trouble With Rihanna
A$AP Rocky can’t keep a secret from his little babushka boi.
After all, his and Rihanna’s son Riot Rose, 2, watches his every move like a hawk. The Testing rapper shared new details about his toddler’s observant personality, including how he once snitched on him to his mom for leaving for the house without telling anyone.
“He was like, ‘Dada left. Dada left through the door,’” A$AP, 37, recalled in an interview with Esquire published on Jan. 28. “She told me, ‘You left?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, why?’ She’s like, ‘Because our son told me you left. It’d been nice to say goodbye.’”
As he hilariously put it, “That’s Riot. He can’t stop running his mouth.”
However, Riot isn’t the only person that’s showing off his bold character. While A$AP (born Rakim Mayers) confirmed his oldest son Rza, 3—who he also shares with the Fenty Beauty founder—didn’t inherit that talkative trait, he’s just as extraverted as his younger brother in other ways.
“Rza don’t be talking,” he explained. “Rza’s finally starting to stick up for [himself] again, because Rza used to bully the s--t out of Riot when Riot couldn’t walk and talk.”
Nonetheless, the Highest 2 Lowest actor is grateful they can share their personalities with their new sibling. Indeed, he and Rihanna, 37, welcomed their now 3-month-old daughter Rocki in September, and they’ve been on cloud nine ever since.
“I wanted to be a dad before I got with my girl,” he admitted. “I wanted a little baby girl or boy, whatever God gave, and God blessed me with three.”

True to their chemistry, Rihanna always knew she and A$AP—who started dating in 2021—were destined to have their own stylish kids.
“COVID sped up our relationship, which I felt like God knew we needed because we were going to start a family,” she told Interview in 2024. “Had it not been for COVID, we would’ve taken a lot more time to get comfortable with each other, to even know that we were ready.”
The “Love on the Brain” singer continued, “There was no denying it. It was the best thing that ever happened to us.”

And as the duo continue to focus on their little ones, they’re also making sure their love never falls to the wayside.
“You got to spice it up,” A$AP said during the Jan. 22 episode of The Ebro Show. “You got to still date. You got to still be friends. We roll dice. We play cards. I love that girl to death, man. We got to keep the funk going because if not, what are we doing then?”

After announcing they were expecting their first baby, Rihanna recalled keeping her pregnancy a secret from her friends. "It was harder for me to keep it from my posse, because they're around me, they know my habits," she told E!'s Justin Sylvester. "They're like, 'You don't want something to drink? You're not smoking?' And I'm eating all the things I'm not used to eating. They know I hate sweets and I'm all of a sudden asking for cookies and donuts. But finally, I just had to let it all out, and they were all shocked, of course, as the world was shocked as well."
