DOWN THE STREET: Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Relaxed NYC Stroll Follows Exciting Collaboration: Son RZA’s Vocals Featured in Teaser for A$AP’s Upcoming Album

Entertainment — 07/15/2024

Following their Saturday departure from an Aloft Hotel in New York City, Rihanna and her babydaddy A$AP Rocky dressed down for a stroll.

The 36-year-old Bajan billionaire donned a pink reptile heel, purple denim cargo pants, a six-time Grammy-winning rap group Outkast jersey, and a NY Yankees cap over her blond wig.

The 35-year-old rapper from New York was decked up in a dark T-shirt, black high-top sneakers, and a red baseball cap.

Their two-year-old son RZA Athelston Mayers provides vocals on a new song that A$AP (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers) revealed last Wednesday from his upcoming fourth studio album Don’t Be Dumb, which is out on August 30.

Rocky used it in a trailer for his ‘American Sabotage’ first collection, which he unveiled on June 21 at Paris Fashion Week as part of AWGE SS/25.

The AWGE founder’s earlier hits, D.M.B., RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n), and Same Problems?, will also be included on the album.

Prior to releasing Don’t Be Dumb, the long-awaited ninth studio album, Riri (born Robyn Fenty) and A$AP said they were ‘trying to figure out who’s gonna utilize what’ when it came to sampling the voices of RZA and her 11-month-old son Riot Rose Mayers.

The nine-time Grammy winner said to ET in April that she “already got stuff that I feel like I could make hits out of.” Her most recent single, Lift Me Up, was released in 2022.

In commemoration of their birth years, Rihanna and Rocky recently got matching 1988 tattoos. Their romance was first revealed in 2020, nine years after she initially asked Rocky to rap on her song Cockiness (Love It).

Rocky, who retained the services of lawyer Joe Tacopina, is presently free on bond pending the start of his criminal assault trial on October 21.

The two-time Grammy nominee entered a not guilty plea on January 8 to two charges of assault with a semi-automatic handgun resulting from his longtime pal A$AP Relli’s (born Terell Ephron) shooting in 2021.

The footage that the prosecutors were able to obtain shows Rocky purportedly carrying a gun, but it does not show Ephron being shot in the hand.

The late Bajan father of the Bottega Veneta brand ambassador allegedly entered prison when the boy was just 12 years old, and he and his mother and sister moved between homeless shelters during their adolescent years.

The Puma collaborator is next voicing and producing Smurfette in The Smurfs Movie, a Paramount Animation production that opens in theaters in the US and the UK on February 14, 2025.

It looks like she wrote and recorded a number of original songs for the soundtrack, so fans looking for another studio album will have to make do with that instead.

A stellar group of voice actors appears in the animated film directed by Chris Miller and Matt Landon.

In addition to Rihanna, the cast includes Nick Offerman, Octavia Spencer, Natasha Lyonne, JP Karliak, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, Nick Kroll, James Corden, Billie Lourd, Xolo Maridueña, Kurt Russell, and John Goodman.
