ASAP Rocky<\/a>\u2019s appearance on The Jason Lee Show doesn\u2019t even come out until later this week, but the Harlem rapper\u2019s sitdown with the Hollywood Unlocked founder and Rihanna grocery store buddy<\/a> is already making headlines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most recently, a clip from the interview (which airs in full on Wednesday, Aug. 5) has been making the rounds in which Rocky goes in-depth about his relationship with Rihanna<\/a>. Pretty Flacko says that the \u201cUmbrella\u201d singer has always been there for him when times got hard, whether they were a couple or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe really is a strong Black woman, and she held me down when I was at my lowest,\u201d Rocky says in the excerpt. <\/p>\n

He goes on to remember multiple times that Rih was in his corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got locked up Sweden<\/a>, she was there for me,\u201d he says. \u201cWhen the Relli shit happened<\/a>, she was there for me. Every time I\u2019m at my lowest and darkest place, [whether] we\u2019re friends platonically or we\u2019re in a couple relationship, she\u2019s always fucking there for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most notably, he recalls Rihanna\u2019s support around the time of his father\u2019s death in late 2012 \u2014 a blow that coincided almost exactly with the early 2013 chart-topping release of his first album, Live. Love. ASAP.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy first album went number one [in January]<\/a>. My dad died on [the prior] Christmas<\/a>. I was on my bathroom floor in Paris, crying. [Rihanna] called me for some reason, to congratulate me. We both in Paris. I didn\u2019t know she was in Paris, she didn\u2019t know I was in Paris. And I told her, \u2018I\u2019m down.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cBro, shorty rushed to my\u2026 I don\u2019t even know how Rihanna got the key to my [hotel] room. I stopped answering my phone, all that shit. She walked right in: \u2018Yo, you good?\u2019 Talked to me, all this other shit. That really was my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
