A$AP Rocky Reacts to Young Fan Asking If He and Rihanna Are Married
A$AP Rocky isn’t the only person thinking about forever.
Indeed, the “Get Lit” rapper had a lighthearted reaction to a young student who asked if he and Rihanna—who share kids RZA, 3, Riot, 2, and Rocki, 3 months, together—have tied the knot.
“That’s an interesting question that you asked,” A$AP replied to the child during his Feb. 4 appearance on Celebrity Substitute, before asking him if he’d rather the Fenty Beauty founder be his teacher for the day. “You want Rihanna, huh? Well you got me. You got me today.”
While the 37-year-old (born Rakim Mayers) playfully dodged the marital question, he didn’t mind discussing one of his kids’ favorite hobbies: Listening to music
“I play my children all sorts of genres, from Michael Jackson and other old classic stuff to psychedelic music,” he explained during the episode, which saw him teaching music theory to a group of students in his hometown of Harlem. “The Beatles, of course. A lot of reggae. We live in a musical household, so it’s very diverse.”
This isn’t the first time the couple, who started dating in 2021, have praised their little ones’ ear for music. In fact, Rihanna previously admitted RZA and Riot know how to carry a tune on their toy instruments.
“Both of them love music,” she told E! News last July. “It’s insane. I don’t know who they get it from more. I’m like, ‘Is that me or is that you, Rocky?’ Riot likes to freestyle, so that’s definitely a Rocky thing.”
After all, there’s a chance their son had a front row seat to A$AP’s rhyming skills, as the rapper had been working on his new album Don’t Be Dumb—which he released last month—for nearly five years. Shortly after the record dropped in January, he performed a few standout tracks during his Saturday Night Live debut that same month.

And true to his and Rihanna’s chemistry, the duo celebrated his gig during the show’s after-party later that night. But that wasn’t the end of her support, as the “Work” singer also sent A$AP a sweet shoutout when the album hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Just me here to let y'all know my baby daddy got the NUMBER 1 ALBUM!!!” she wrote in a Jan. 25 post on X. “Aaahhhhhh hah! DONT BE DUMB!!!”

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."
