When it comes to fashion and design, A$AP Rocky isn’t afraid to admit he’s got some playful competition at home. The rapper, who shares two children, RZA and Riot, with Rihanna, opened up about their creative dynamic during a recent appearance on Complex’s Sneaker Shopping.
Rocky joked that he and Rihanna, the powerhouse behind Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty, are always in a friendly rivalry when it comes to crafting cutting-edge designs.
“Nah, we in competition,” Rocky laughed. “No, I’m f**king with you. That’s my ace. Like, every now and then we totally don’t even talk about what we’re doing. But Puma is just separate. When we in the house, we barely try to talk about work but every now and then I might see some sht she doing, and if it’s fire, I call up Puma and I’m tight about it. … But nah, it’s dope sht.”
The Harlem rapper’s remarks highlighted the playful yet supportive relationship he shares with Rihanna. Despite their individual successes in the fashion world, it’s clear that they find inspiration in each other’s work.
Passing Down the Sneaker Legacy
During the interview, Rocky also discussed his plans to pass down his extensive sneaker collection to his children when they grow up. However, the process might not be as generous as it sounds.
“I am, but I’m selfish. I’m just going to give them what was in my size. So like, hopefully, they fit that size. If they could fit it, they can have it,” he explained.
Rocky’s dedication to sneaker culture has been evident throughout his career, and it seems he’s planning to pass down that passion—assuming his kids can fit into his size, of course.
Power Couple Collaboration
Proving that they are one of the industry’s most beloved power couples, Fenty and Puma have collaborated on several capsule collections featuring both Rocky and Rihanna’s creative input. Their union has not only blossomed into a beautiful family but also a dynamic fashion partnership that fans continue to celebrate.
In a previous interview, Rocky couldn’t help but gush over Rihanna, praising her work ethic and dedication to her craft.
“Birds of a feather flock together,” Rocky shared. “I’m gonna ride ’till wheels fall off like she do. That’s my dog, that’s my n**a, that’s my btch, that’s my wife, that’s my everything.”
Their mutual respect and admiration have clearly contributed to their success, both as individuals and as a couple.
Rocky’s New Role at Ray-Ban
Rocky’s fashion influence continues to expand. Earlier this year, he was named Ray-Ban’s first-ever creative director, a prestigious role that speaks to his enduring influence in the world of style.
“I’ve always admired Ray-Ban’s ability to stay true to its roots while constantly evolving,” Rocky said in a statement. “I’m excited to be part of the strong heritage and develop the next chapter for an iconic brand like Ray-Ban.”
From his work with Puma to his groundbreaking partnership with Ray-Ban, Rocky’s reach in the fashion industry only seems to be growing. And with Rihanna by his side, it’s safe to say their empire will continue to expand.
Their bond as a couple, creators, and parents shows how they’ve managed to blend their personal lives with their artistic passions—something that fans admire just as much as their fashion collaborations.
