He explained: \u201cMy first album went No. 1. My dad died on Christmas. I was on my bathroom floor in Paris crying. She called me for some reason to congratulate me.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe both in Paris … Shorty rushed to [my side]. I don\u2019t even know how Rihanna got the key to my room. I stopped answering my phone, and she walked right in, \u2018Yo, you good?\u2019 That really was my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rocky and Rihanna went public with their relationship in 2020, and they went on to welcome sons RZA and Riot, as well as daughter Rocki, in 2022, 2023, and 2025, respectively.<\/p>\n
Losing Adrian, his brother, Ricky, when Rocky was 13, and A$AP Mob creative director Steven \u201cYams\u201d Rodriguez, in January 2015, has given the rapper an even greater appreciation for life and those around him.<\/p>\n
The Peso artist said: \u201cAll jokes aside, I was really moved, and I know that like my brother and Yams and my dad is just up there working their magic, bro. They got to be. This is just like it\u2019s beyond me and beyond my understanding.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been in a lot of situations that I prayed that I would get out of unscathed, and God blessed me like that. That situation taught me don\u2019t take life for granted and value your people you love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rocky opened up about Ricky, and asked why he rarely speaks about him in public, Rocky insisted it was not a deliberate decision.<\/p>\n
The L$D performer said: \u201cNah, it\u2019s not. I love my brother. That was not only big bro. That was like a person who was like my dad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rocky looked up to his brother and even tried to follow his lead, but Ricky pushed him away from the street life and encouraged him to go to school and pursue a different path.<\/p>\n
The entertainer said: \u201cI thought I wanted to be a baller. I wanted that Chevy. I wanted that Caprice. After I got chased, I was like, \u2018Yo, I\u2019m not made for this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWhen you lose somebody like that who\u2019s the first person that really believes you, that is hard for real. So, I didn\u2019t talk about him for a long time, but then I thought like, \u2018That\u2019s the person that gave me life\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"He explained: \u201cMy first album went No. 1.
