and him describing her as his &#8216;wife&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Asked by journalist Clover Hope if he looks forward to being a husband, the Harlem-bred music artist quipped, &#8216;How you know I&#8217;m not already a husband?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But he played coy as he laughed and followed up, &#8216;I&#8217;m still not gonna confirm it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Rihanna and A$AP initially teased that they had potentially tied the knot in the rapper&#8217;s 2022 D.M.B. music video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The duo acted out a wedding ceremony with the Bajan songstress donning a blood-red wedding dress and veil.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And her beau flashed gold grills that read &#8216;Marry Me&#8217; while she wore a corresponding set reading, &#8216;I do.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The song, an ode to the Fenty mogul, contains the lyrics: &#8216;I was lost then but I found you \/ Little slim thick with a bounce too.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And the dad of three also refers to the billionaire businesswoman as his &#8216;angel&#8217; and &#8216;goddess&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Fans took to social media to share their opinions on whether or not the power couple have actually tied the knot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">One person wrote on X, &#8216;They are not married.
