Rihanna he’s back. She has done it in style in the break of Super Bowl 2023 and with a super bowlmbo for her second pregnancy with rapper A$AP Rocky. The one from Barbados has performed great song after great song from her repertoire and has done what she could with the dance since his prominent belly prevented him from moving easily. We already know her, but who is really the father of her children?
Rakim Athelaston Mayers, better known as A$AP Rocky He was born in New York in the year 1988, the same as Rihanna. So both have 34 years. The singer’s husband seemed predestined to make a living from music since his parents gave him this name in honor of hip-hop artist Rakim from the group Eric B. & Rakim.
A$AP grew up in the Harlem neighborhood and, when he was only 12 years old, he saw his father jailed for selling drugs. A year later, his older brother was murdered near his home. At the age of eight, she began to rap, although it was not until July 2011 that her first work came to light, a compilation of hits from her favorite groups.
The controversial part of his relationship with Rihanna
Dragging childhood traumas has meant that Rakim does not lead an exemplary life either. In 2012 opens for Drake and performs at the PitchFork Music Festival. With a promising present and a contract on the table to debut on television on Jimmy Fallon’s show and his late night, A$AP is arrested for an alleged fight in midtown Manhattan.
in 2019 He returns to prison for an altercation in Sweden since a man denounced the alleged harassment by the rapper. Two years later he begins dating the singer, who had just broken up with rapper Chris Brown. At that time, he was associated with Kendall Jenner. Confirmation soon arrives after Rihanna chose him as her opening act on her ‘Diamonds’ tour.
In May 2021 Rihanna and A$AP confirm their relationship after being caught kissing behind the scenes after recording one of the artist’s video clips. Rakim ends up talking about her as “the love of her life” and has already predicted that he would have children with her.
A prediction that comes true for the first time on May 13, 2022, when the one from Barbados gives birth to his first son whose name we still don’t know. Now, the couple is waiting for their second offspring as could be seen during the Super Bowl 2023 performance.
