He concluded by noting: “Mothers know best,” admitting his instincts proved accurate in hindsight.
From Friends to Romantic Connection
ASAP Rocky recently discussed in an online podcast interview how his mother often openly inquired as to why he hadn’t pursued romantic feelings towards Rihanna, while at first dismissing such notions insisting they were simply friends who hadn’t noticed such things happening between them yet. Over time though, their bond only deepened through collaboration in music production projects, shared experiences in the industry, and natural growth over time.

Their onstage chemistry soon came under spotlight during subsequent performances and collaborations; particularly Rihanna appearing in Fashion Killa music video and Rocky as opening act during Diamonds World Tour performances; these moments further cementing both personal and professional bonds between them.
