Rihanna<\/a> and A$AP Rocky<\/a> seem like a match made in heaven … but apparently, they’re also a match made by the rapper’s mom!<\/p>\n

A$AP appeared on “NYT Popcast” Thursday and revealed his mom would constantly badger him to make a move on Rihanna when they were just friends … but he was convinced she didn’t see him that way. But the “Fashion Killa” hitmaker wasn’t going to lie … he said he was always down for Rihanna — and we can’t blame him!<\/p>\n

A$AP praised his mom for her intuition on the podcast, raving … “Mothers know best!”<\/p>\n

He went on to say how thankful he is that he and Rihanna sparked up a romance when they did, because he didn’t feel he would be ready for such a relationship beforehand. He also gushed about how well they work together<\/a> and the similarities in their upbringing, explaining … “We were on the same page. Born the same year. My dad is from her country. … When I go back, I get to see both sides of my family.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As you know, A$AP and the Fenty Beauty founder were friends long before they fell head over heels for one another … first meeting in 2012 for a performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Their relationship blossomed into something more in 2020, and they’ve been together ever since.<\/p>\n

They have 3 kids together<\/a> — RZA, Riot, and Rocki — and have the world guessing whether or not they are married … something A$AP has possibly hinted at my calling RiRi his “wife.”<\/p>\n

Regardless, it’s clear there’s nothing but love between them — they simply work, work, work, work, work!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A$AP Rocky My Mom Always Wanted Me with Rihanna … Proof ‘Mothers Know Best!’ Published January 15, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":411268,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341],"class_list":{"0":"post-411267","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411267","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=411267"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/411267\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/411268"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=411267"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=411267"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=411267"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
